oneworld Airlines Offer You the World - and 15,000 Bonus Miles FORT
WORTH, Texas, Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- American Airlines and its
oneworld Alliance partners are offering AAdvantage(R) members
15,000 bonus miles to encourage them to sample more of oneworld's
unrivaled international network and award-winning service. The
bonus is in addition to the miles normally earned for travel on the
airlines in the alliance. So those bonus miles could help take you
from Albuquerque or Accra to Zimbabwe or Zurich, or anywhere else
in between served by the alliance's eight member airlines and their
17 associated carriers. The oneworld airlines collectively serve
more than 575 destinations around the globe. To qualify for the
bonus, just purchase tickets and fly on American Airlines and at
least two other oneworld member airlines between Oct. 1 and Nov.
30, 2004. The other oneworld members are Aer Lingus, British
Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, LAN and Qantas. Eligible
fares include First Class, Business Class, or full-fare Economy
Class. (See Notes below). You must register for the bonus before
flying by calling the AAdvantage Dial-In system at 1-800-882-8880.
Follow the prompts and enter promotion code OW5YR (69597) when
asked. Or, you may register on-line at http://www.aa.com/offers ,
using the promotion code OW5YR. Full details of the bonus offer are
available on each airline's frequent flyer program website, with
links to them all from the oneworld home page at
http://www.oneworld.com/ . oneworld Managing Partner John McCulloch
said, "The bonus is just that -- a bonus, in addition to the
regular rewards earned for each of those flights. It's a way of
highlighting to customers new and old that if their travels take
them beyond their regular airline's schedules to other parts of
oneworld's unrivaled international map, they'll receive the same
high level of care, service, support and frequent flyer privileges
from all other carriers in our group." Since oneworld was launched
five years ago, members of its partner airlines' frequent flyer
programs have been able to earn miles and tier status points when
they fly on eligible fares on any other airline in the alliance.
And they have been able to redeem them across the entire grouping's
network, covering more than 135 countries and territories. Besides
frequent flyer awards, privileges include tier points toward higher
frequent flyer program membership status, which in turn leads to
lounge access, priority check-in and wait listing whenever you fly
with any oneworld carrier anywhere in the world. oneworld's eight
airlines and their affiliates carried more than 220 million
passengers last year on a combined fleet of almost 2,000 aircraft
operating more than 7,500 flights a day. oneworld and its member
airlines regularly receive more honors in the various industry
award programs than members of the other airline alliances
combined, reflecting the quality of their customer service. The
alliance itself was named the World's Leading Airline Alliance in
the most recent World Travel Awards, based on votes cast by 80,000
travel agency professionals from more than 200 countries. oneworld
offers a wider range of alliance fare and sales products than all
of the competition combined and is on track to become the first
alliance to offer the customer convenience of interline
e-ticketing, by the end of 2004. Notes -- For full details, see

restricted due to capacity constraints. Access is available on the
day of departure when the next onward flight is with a oneworld
