Those who fly on American, British, and a dozen other worldwide carriers will soon get better access to Africa with a new partner joining the Oneworld alliance in 2020.
Frequent flyers on American, British, and a dozen other airlines have a new partner to look forward to. Last week, Morocco's flag carrier Royal Air Maroc announced its intent to join the Oneworld alliance, a group of 13 airlines around the planet that shares benefits such as codeshare flights and frequent flyer perks.
This will be Oneworld's first major partner with a base on the continent, and by connecting through Casablanca, the airline's hub, alliance members will soon be able to book codeshare flights from their home countries into deep corners of Africa. Additionally, frequent flyers will be able to earn points on Royal Air Maroc-operated flights and redeem them for free travel through the region.
