oneworld Global Products

The eleven oneworld member airlines work together to provide you with a range of products which make global travel easier and more rewarding. Whether traveling for business or leisure, we are confident you will find the right product for your regional adventure or around-the-world journey.

oneworld Explorer: An around-the-world product that offers exceptional flexibility and value. Prices are based on class of service (Economy, Business, or First) and, uniquely, the number of continents visited - rather than mileage of the overall trip. This keeps journey planning simple and flexible. Flights can be on any of the oneworld or affiliate airlines, covering over 700 destinations. oneworld Explorer is the obvious choice for anyone planning a global journey including travel "down under" with oneworld's Qantas, the only member of a global alliance operating a full domestic network within Australia.

Visit Passes: Offers multi-sector flights on any oneworld carrier in a specific continent. Visit passes offer a great value way to travel around a continent, and are a great value. oneworld is the only alliance to offer this sort of pass covering all six continents. Prices are based on the number of sectors purchased and the mileage of each sector. To book, contact the Around the World desk at 800-247-3247, Monday – Friday 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Central time or Saturday/Sunday 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Central Time.

Circle Atlantic: Our latest fare product for travel through and between Europe and the Middle East, North America, and South America. To book, contact the Around the World desk at 800-247-3247, Monday – Friday 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Central time or Saturday/Sunday 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Central Time.

Circle Explorer: Similar to oneworld Explorer, but does not require travel to North or South America, so you can fly halfway around the globe and then back again, without actually circumnavigating the planet (for example London-Hong Kong-Sydney-Johannesburg-London). To book, contact the Around the World desk at 800-247-3247, Monday – Friday 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Central time or Saturday/Sunday 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Central Time.

Circle Pacific: Another Explorer variant, this time for trips around the Pacific Ocean, covering Australia/New Zealand, Asia, and North and South America. To book, contact the Around the World desk at 800-247-3247, Monday – Friday 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Central time or Saturday/Sunday 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Central Time.

Circle Asia & South West Pacific: This fare offers great value and flexibility for multi-continent journeys circling this part of the world. This is an ideal option if your travel originates and terminates in Asia or South West Pacific. Fares are based on the total mileage of the journey and the class of travel. To book, contact the Around the World desk at 800-247-3247, Monday – Friday 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Central time or Saturday/Sunday 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Central Time.
