Oneworld extends birthday sale
Oneworld is cutting its fares by 10% for another 10 weeks to mark its 10th birthday.
The alliance initially offered the 10% reduction for 10 weeks from February 1, its actual birthday.
But it is now repeating the special offer to mark the 10th anniversary of the first recruits being added to the alliance.
Finnair and Iberia joined oneworld’s founding members American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Qantas on September 1 1999.
Since then, Japan Airlines, Malév Hungarian Airlines and Royal Jordanian have been added. Mexicana will board the alliance later this year, and Russia’s S7 Airlines in 2010.
This second offer runs from today until to November 3 inclusive.
It applies to all oneworld’s alliance fares – but does not apply to fares offered by its member airlines individually or in conjunction with other carriers.
For example, Oneworld Explorer fares through four continents in Economy Class is £154 less for travel from the UK.
Global Explorer, which offers travel on all oneworld carriers plus a number of airlines that are not members of the alliance, is not included in the offer.
Nor are extra coupon charges, extra stopover charges, Premium Economy/World Traveller Plus surcharges, and charges for rebookings, reroutings or cancellations.
