When you're ready to redeem your miles for a travel award, oneworld brings you more options than ever. In addition to the
'All Airline Partner Awards' which allow travel on all eight oneworld airlines as well as other AAdvantage participant airlines, customers needing to travel to multiple destinations on one trip can claim a oneworld award. The oneworld multi-carrier awards are valid on American Airlines, Aer Lingus, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Finnair, Iberia, LAN4 and Qantas Airways, as well as select affiliate airlines. The number of miles redeemed varies depending on the distance and class of service traveled. To determine the award for your travel plans, please call AAdvantage Reservations with your complete itinerary and one of our helpful service representatives will calculate the miles you are flying and advise you of the correct award to use.

4Not valid on LAN affiliate LAN ECUADOR

Note: AAdvantage members cannot redeem AAdvantage miles for travel on British Airways transatlantic flights between the U.K. and the U.S.

Valid: All eight oneworld carriers may be used on one award as long as the mileage and segment maximum is not exceeded (see distance range). Travel must include at least two oneworld partners other than American Airlines, American Eagle or AmericanConnection, and effective January 1, 2005 may not exceed 16 segments. The number of miles redeemed varies depending on the distance and class of service traveled. To determine the award for your travel plans, please call AAdvantage Reservations with your complete itinerary, and one of our helpful service representatives will calculate the miles you are flying and advise you of the correct award to use.

Routing: Members may fly unlimited segments and may stop in each city once, but may not connect in the same city more than twice. Passengers may not stopover or connect in the city where travel originated.

oneworld Award Codes contain an "OW" for oneworld, the number of miles needed to claim the award (in thousands; for example 30 for 30,000 miles), and a letter code for class of service. For example OW30Y.
