AMERICAN Airlines and
US Airways have begun
selected codeshares
on each other’s flights,
from January 23. The
arrangement allows travel
agents and customers to
purchase a single itinerary,
including flights that
connect from one carrier to
the other.
Sharon Schierhout, yield
manager of Club Travel,
says the main benefit of
the codeshare agreement
for South Africans is that
they now have a wider
choice when they are
connecting from oneworld
carriers such as British
Airways on to the AA/US
codeshared flights.
Travellers can expect even
more benefits from March,
when US Airways will exit
the Star Alliance in order
to join American Airlines in
the oneworld alliance.
