Finnair has enhanced the booking engine on its
website to make it possible for travellers to make reservations on
flights operated by all oneworld airlines.
The enhanced booking engine now shows the
oneworld flights in all 11 language versions of the Finnair
website. The fare rules of oneworld flights are however still
currently only in English. In the fields for departure and
destination city travellers enter either the name of the city, the
three-letter code of the city or the name of the country, in which
case the system gives as alternatives all oneworld destinations in
that country.
In the first phase, reservations can be made on
flights operated by other oneworld partners and their subsidiaries
only in connection with a Finnair flight.
Reservations on other oneworld flights to and
from Australia, North and South America are at this stage only
possible in combination with an intercontinental Finnair flight.
At departure from Finland, payment is possible
through Internet banking, in addition to credit cards.
oneworld brings together some of the biggest
names in the airline business - American Airlines, British
Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN,
Malév Hungarian Airlines, Qantas and Royal Jordanian, and around
20 affiliates including American Eagle, Dragonair, LAN Argentina,
LAN Ecuador and LAN Peru. Mexicana and its affiliate Click
Mexicana will join the alliance in 2009.
