“They will offer oneworld’s full range of services and benefits – although some may be phased in shortly after US Airways joins. US Airways, American and their oneworld partners are working to provide the most popular benefits and services on an accelerated timeline.”

For Qantas Frequent Flyers, the merger will see greater access to US east coast connections, as well as point earning opportunities and ‘US Airways Club’ lounge access.
