This is your first video I found when searching about Airline Alliances. I like your humor and analogy and your efforts into acting for a skit! Good call out that people can only benefit from sticking to an alliance if they travel 4-5 times a year across continents. Thank you for the very last tip in this video as well! Very refreshing
This video should have as many likes as it does views. Very well put together information. I have a better understanding of how all of this may work and my assumptions are surprisingly inaccurate to an extent.
Spot on in fact I can list the airlines of each Alliance that fly to my airport in East Asia MNL🇵🇭 Oneworld CX🇭🇰 QR MH🇲🇾 QF🇦🇺 JL🇯🇵 future WY Star Alliance ZH CA🇨🇳 BR🇹🇼 NH🇯🇵 TG🇹🇭 SQ🇸🇬 OZ🇰🇷 UA🇺🇲 Skyteam SV MU MF🇨🇳 KE🇰🇷 CI🇹🇼KL🇳🇱. From this list MNL is served by Star Alliance more than the other two Skyteam and Oneworld Alliances. Although the non affiliated Philippine Airlines Mainline jet fleet resembles CX Oneworld Alliance founding member. Leading to this common comparison Philippine Airlines vs Cathay Pacific. Asking that question to a Taiwanese or Hong konger they see it as this CX (🇹🇼🇭🇰 spelling 國泰航空) > PR🇵🇭 (🇭🇰🇹🇼 spelling 菲律賓航空)
I would definitely use Delta for domestic travel. However, for international I would use Lufthansa or British Airways. This would allow me to fly premium on airlines such as Singapore Airlines and Emirates.
Then I would recommend you consolidate into one carrier that partners up with both, like Alaska. But also Singapore only releases first class to its own program, so it is nothing too special since you only get business class redeeming luftansa
it is made because of your suggestion! Delta is good, but not that good if you have to travel a lot to places like Africa and Oceania. You can also consider some programs overseas!
Very nice video. I live in New York and mostly travel to Sydney and Beijing to visit families. I’m currently United platinum but have been considering switching to one world. Which frequent flyer program would you recommend? Qantas or AA? Or you’d recommend something else?
Thank you for watching. So yeah you can definitely switch to Oneworld. I am working on a video about frequent flyer programs that can really help you choose, but if you fly a lot domestically in US, you should pick British Airways for the lounge access. If you just want cheap redemptions, do Alaska. If you want easiest status(but no lounge access domestically), do American Airlines. Also check out the video coming out soon to help you understand better!
@@beyounged very helpful. I’ll look into it. I rarely fly domestically in the US, I think AA might be a good option for me. I just think that United’s Australian routes are significantly more expensive than others and I’m a little tired of flying United all the time. Even the their Polaris seats are just too narrow and less spacious than their old business seats - can’t justify the price. One thing though is network as you talked about. I got a ton of points one year from flying business with avianca to Argentina (error fare)
You can still redeem the points for star alliance business class, while flying in oneworld on cash tickets whenever you can to earn status. As long as you do not fly domestically in US or China a lot, AA can be a good option. Make sure you buy tickets NOT issued by AA if it is a cheap one though!
@@beyounged cheap redemption Alaska? My wife and I want to start traveling more... I just posted a comment on your other video... I asked if I should join AA or BA FF program... but can we join Alaskan Airlines and get better redemption on partners or is it all the same on partners? We also have Chase so we collect UR points. Does that make a difference on which program we join?
@@druiz012 yeah Alaska is better, especially if you are in Portland. Alaska offers phenomenal redemption rate for domestic travel. You can do PDX-SEA, stopover, then SEA-YVR for 7500 miles, or SEA-PDX, stop for a few months, and then begin another trip to SFO for 5000 miles! Internationally it is a bit more restrictive, but you can still do PDX-SEA, then to Tokyo on Japan airlines, stopover for a few days, then to anywhere in Southeast Asia like Bangkok or Singapore for 65000 points in business class, Europe side it is not as good.
thanks! may the algorithm gods favor everyone! I was debating about this as well. Swiss has okay-ish fares and great route network, but that incident of it cracking hard on any flighthacker on a ticket originating from Yangon really left a sour taste in my mouth. (they made a mistake, priced a flight lower than normal, when you show up for the flight they tell you you have to pay up thousands to make up their "loss", or they sue you, and they did.)
@@beyounged Wow they really did that? Yeah that's shit. Quality wise though they are my favorite airline (As I don't fly to Asia that much leaving out Singapore etc.)
Haha well, you have not truly flied until you get a lie flat seat on a Cathay Pacific plane for the 90 minutes hop to Ho Chi Minh City!😝 Swiss has great product, but it is unfortunately a part of this Atlantic joint venture and European downward spiral. Intra-EU business class is laughable for any EU airline, you know that. Now crossing the pond is mostly dominated by basic economy tickets. And MM is just an okay program, unless you are HON😪
Emirates should be at tier 1. It is the best, from first class to economy you get the best service with a lot of amenitie. The cabin crew is very very good. The service at the airport feels like a king.
What alliance are you predominantly apart of? I travel to Europe a lot for work from Seattle so I do rack up the miles. And I do take personal vacations to eastern Asia(Beijing). I like the benefits of One World, but I feel like the wise choice for the sake of route network is best if I go all in with Star.
I mostly do oneworld. and that is the alliance that gives you the best rewards if you do fly business class and economy from time to time. others give you nothing if you fly business class. If you are patient and willing to position to other cities to catch cheap oneworld promotional fares, it is possible, and Seattle is getting bigger and more oneworld flights, so you should aim to try to do more business flying on them, and do leisure Asian flights in economy on oneworld and enjoy the benefits
Since I am living in Saudi Arabia I usually fly Saudia for domestic and sometimes internationally (The only time I fly with Saudia internationally is when I go to my home country Sudan)But most of my international flights especially in Europe are all with Turkish Airlines.
This might a dumb question.. but how does the "frequent flyer" program work? Do i need to get credit card from one of the airline companies under the whatever alliance of my choice? Also, i've heard that you can earn miles and use them with other airlines under the same alliance.. how does it actually work??😬
I have a video on how they work, here it is: ua-cam.com/video/GOjXThAzEhA/v-deo.html No need for credit cards, usually cards that belongs to a bank program is better, such as Capital One, American Express, Chase, etc., but all of these are almost exclusive to USA. You can earn and use miles while flying or to fly on other airlines of the same aliance, it is also explained in the video I linked above. You literally just search on airline websites and click "use miles" and generally they will display options.
So you're saying that Emirates doesn't belong to any alliances? How come I booked a flight from Australia to Brazil through Qantas and one of the legs was operated by Emirates?
exactly. Alliance is just a broad cooperation among a set of loosely set coalition of airlines, but each airline can form deeper and more meaningful ties by signing special agreements, whether they are in an alliance or not, or even in rival alliances. Qantas works closely with Emirates on an individual level, no need for any alliance to facilitate that.
I always fly United (Star Alliance) domestically because I live in Chicago and has its headquarters and sometimes Alaska Airlines (OneWorld). My last international flight was also Star Alliance, and my next one is also.
@@beyounged that’s the reason why I signed up for their Mileage Plus, I flew about 25 times last year of which 18 where United + Lufthansa so I got to the United Mileage Plus Gold right away (Star Alliance Gold).
maybe aim for another program that gets you star gold that is not MileagePlus? because you can even access lounges when flying United economy domestically if you do that.
Aim for Krisflyer from SQ or Royal Orchid Plus from Thai Airways that way when you're Star Alliance Gold from SQ/TG you're allowed to use the United Club in ORD for domestic use. In ORD you might have some Mileage Plus members obtaining Aeroplan Air Canada that way ORD lounges is accessible for Domestic Travel.
not sure if the Asian partners are the best fit. Maybe consider Aegean if one can go to Europe once a year and fly them 4 times. It is incredibly easy to qualify for status.
Useful information and if you're Oneworld emerald non AA/AS member followed by Star Alliance non UA Star Alliance Gold member you can actually use their lounges for domestic travel. In my case CX Asia Miles for AA/AS domestic mother and father SQ Krisflyer and Royal Orchid Plus for UA domestic. If your viewer is from the US they're better of using Air Canada Star Alliance gold because you gain United Airlines domestic lounge access. Since AA/AS Oneworld Alliance United Airlines Star Alliance blocks off domestic lounge access to their High Tier FFQs.
@jwil4286 thank you for telling me about that so in the case of one world Alliance in the United States AA is the only one to lock their Emeralds out. I thought both AA/AS lock their Emeralds out while letting QF BA CX JL Emeralds in.
Hello, I'd be interested in a video on the value of joining membership to airlines that aren't part of an alliance. I fly occasionally on an Gulf based airline. I collect the points and so far it's enough to buy something from their online shop. At least it's something. Otherwise, I am a member of 3 airlines membership programs that cover the 3 big alliances and pump the points into those when I fly.
hi! if you have flights on all 3 alliances regularly you will have a very hard time accumulating miles in each, try to consolidate to at most 2 programs and you will start seeing results! 😊
@@beyounged I tend to by tickets based on price. I shop around on different airlines then credit the points to the alliance I am a airline program member I'm in. I should stick with airlines of one alliance program but often better prices happen in across airlines of different alliances.
never ever do segment runs. always do mileage. all airlines still count distance in one way or another so you can bypass the segments. I fky once a few weeks more or less.
Great video! Latin America needs more attention from alliances. I don't get why Air Canada is Class C, I thought it was good compared to other similar airlines. Aerolineas Argentinas only focuses on having a great domestic connectivity and some regional flights, but for SkyTeam it won't increase its network allover Latin America as Latam does with many subsidiaries. Hug from Buenos Aires! Mateo
It is so sad that Avianca, LATAM and Aerolineas Argentinas are all struggling in their own ways, they could have helped putting south America onto the map much more than currently. Maybe I am biased but I think Air Canada is so horrible at customer service and taking in our tax money for bail outs while refusing refunds. Thanks for watching though, Mateo!
@@beyounged Yes Air Canada is terrible in customer service. When I was in Montreal the customs officer told me he recommends no one flys with them especially if they have a layover in Montreal. I assumed they would be a great airline to fly with, but I was wrong and am glad I know better.
How did you come up with all these jokes? I am so dead. Can you make a podcast? I am a PhD researcher and literally I have been just playing this video in the background while running my AI code... and I couldn't stop laughing lmao.
awww thanks, you flatter me. I travel way too much to have a regular schedule for podcasts haha. If you want, my newee business class review videos are packed with jokes, hope you can check them out!
Too much ‘comedy’ trying too hard with the ‘jokes’…. BUT overall good info and keep it up! Malaysia airlines has definitely pull down Oneworld. Now its even worst as MH is now cutting back on more routes!
they have been crawling up slowly for sure. Air France's aggressive tactics in Europe has definitely positioned Skyteam a whole league above OneWorld in Europe.
Aww I've been flying Star Alliance airlines for a good 5-6 years now and I wanna switch to OneWorld lol But how about all those miles that I accrued? 😣
I dissagree with you on first class access, I have a relative who is a star alliance gold card holder, he has acess to first class lounges, he once had "hon circle" which meant he was driven in a private car to the plane.
take a look of my KLM business class review video, and you will see their catering is...too interesting to be A tier. CX is just consistent in good quality and price.

Interlining doesn’t require an alliance. A lot of airlines have interline agreements outside their alliance

burn them all, when you get the chance. It is not hard to use miles if you wanna do a nice vacation with family :D
I dissagree with you on first class access, I have a relative who is a star alliance gold card holder, he has acess to first class lounges, he once had "hon circle" which meant he was driven in a private car to the plane.
HON circle is a very very high level of status in Luftansa. he probably got first class lounge access because of that, not because of having Star Gold
Even before getting hon circle he got access to those first lounges, I think it is down to the individual lounge.
perhaps. but generally those first lounges are very difficult to get in.
South African Airways is ranked the same as Emirates
SAS is leaving star alliance and moving to sky team as the klm Air France group will buy sas
cathay S tier? what are you smoking lol. B at best. KLM is definitely at least an A. you have bad takes
take a look of my KLM business class review video, and you will see their catering is...too interesting to be A tier. CX is just consistent in good quality and price.
