Can I earn frequent flyer miles on partner airlines when flying with British Airways?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, it is indeed possible to earn frequent flyer miles on partner airlines when flying with British Airways. British Airways is part of the oneworld alliance, which includes several major airlines worldwide. This partnership allows passengers to earn and redeem frequent flyer miles across multiple carriers within the alliance, which is quite beneficial for those who travel frequently. When flying on partner airlines, passengers need to ensure that they provide their British Airways frequent flyer number at the time of booking or check-in to accumulate the miles. It is advisable to check the specific earning rates and conditions for each partner airline, as these may vary from one airline to another. Often, the number of miles earned can depend on factors such as the fare class and distance flown. Passengers may also be able to redeem their hard-earned miles for flights or upgrades on these partner airlines, subject to availability. To find detailed information regarding eligibility, earning potential, and redemption options, visiting the official British Airways website or the specific partner airline's site can provide up-to-date details and guidelines.
