oneworld Tier Status
Enjoy the Privileges of oneworld Tier Status
As a member of a oneworld® airline's frequent flyer programme you will also earn tier status whenever you take a oneworld flight - that is a flight where a oneworld airline's designator appears on the flight coupon of your ticket and which is operated by a oneworld airline. Your frequent flyer programme will require that you undertake a certain minimum of flying on the "home" airline. Please consult the programme operator for details.
Because our ten frequent flyer programmes have different names for their various membership tiers, we have created a set of oneworld status levels: oneworld Emerald, Sapphire and Ruby. Being a oneworld top tier member gives you a number of benefits across all oneworld carriers:
- Emerald status gives access (with one guest) to all First Class and Business Class/Frequent Flyer lounges, regardless of the class of travel.
- Sapphire status gives access (with one guest) to all Business Class/Frequent Flyer lounges regardless of the class of travel.
- The oneworld alliance airlines provide more than 500 lounges across the globe.
