oneworld - Frequent Flyer information

Although the oneworld® alliance does not offer its own frequent flyer programme, if you are a member of a frequent flyer programme of any oneworld airline, your rewards and privileges are extended throughout the oneworld alliance.

oneworld Benefits by Tier Status

As a member of Malév Duna Club you will also earn tier status whenever you take any oneworld flight - that is a flight which is both marketed and operated by a oneworld airline (the 2-letter designator of a oneworld carrier must appear on your ticket).

Because oneworld's airlines all have different names for the top three membership tiers in their frequent flyer programmes, the alliance has created a tier of names, based on gemstones, that are common across all oneworld airlines:

• Emerald denotes the top tier in any programme
• Sapphire denotes the second tier 
• Ruby denotes the third tier.

To help staff easily recognise top-tier members and identify the benefits to which they are entitled, top tier membership cards issued by all oneworld airlines carry a oneworld gemstone symbol in the appropriate colour.

Enjoy oneworld benefits with your own airline's frequent flyer programme. See how your own programme's tier status equates to oneworld status, and the benefits that you will receive. 

*Preferred and pre-reserved seating offered in line with the individual policy of the oneworld member airline operating the flight.
First or Business Class check-in desks and lounges are not available at all airports.
Lounge access is available on the day of departure when the next onward flight is marketed and operated by a oneworld airline. At peak periods, access to some lounges may be restricted because of capacity constraints. Access may not apply at a limited number of lounges operated by third parties.
Access is not available to American Airlines' AAdvantage members travelling on wholly North American itineraries (within the USA, Canada, Mexico (except Mexico City), Bermuda, Bahamas and the Caribbean).

Earning Miles

As a member of Malév Duna Club you can earn miles or points on eligible fares and flights marketed and operated by any oneworld airline. Eligible flights also count towards advancing or maintaining your tier status - a unique oneworld benefit. And, when you are ready to redeem your miles, you can do so across the alliance's combined 700-destination worldwide network.

Redeeming Miles

Members of each oneworld alliance airline are able to earn and redeem miles with their airline partners - so when you're ready to redeem your miles or points for a travel award, oneworld brings you more options than ever, including round-the-world travel options.

AAdvantage miles and top tier status credit may be earned though miles may not be redeemed on all American Airlines codeshare services operated by British Airways when the booking is made under the AA code.

Lounge Access

The oneworld Alliance airlines provide more than 550 airport departure lounges across the globe. If you are an Emerald or Sapphire level top-tier member of Malév Duna Club you will have access to any of these lounges before departure, no matter which oneworld airline you are flying.

At many lounges, you can enjoy refreshments, telephones and computer facilities. At some locations, there are showers, a wider range of business services and meeting facilities. Access is subject to lounge capacity.

In all cases, lounge access eligibility is based on:

• Departing carrier - you must be flying on your next onward segment, on the same day, on a flight marketed and operated by a oneworld member airline AND
• Frequent flyer tier status - you must present a current frequent flyer card equivalent to oneworld Emerald or Sapphire status, OR  
• Class of travel - you must produce a First or Business Class boarding pass for the journey's international segment on the same day.

Please note:

• At airlines' First Class lounges, access will be restricted to Emerald members or those travelling in First Class.
• At peak periods, access to certain lounges may be restricted due to capacity constraints. 
• Access is available on the day of departure when your next onward flight is with a oneworld member airline (there's also an exception for flights departing after midnight). Access may not apply at a limited number of third-party-operated lounges. 
• Most lounges are owned and operated by a oneworld airline. In some locations, lounges may be operated by a third party (non-oneworld affiliated) on behalf of oneworld airlines. 
• American Airlines and Qantas offer programmes enabling a customer to pay to gain access to their lounges. These lounge members do not automatically gain access to other oneworld carrier lounges as part of the oneworld agreement, but may qualify based on oneworld lounge access rules.
