Conclusion

This is our visual explanation of airline alliances. Although people often ask which alliance they should fly, it’s not that simple. Generally, you fly/credit a specific airline frequent flyer program. But if a specific airline alliance obviously serves your routes or needs better, then it makes sense to pick an airline program based on an alliance.

In general though, an airline alliance makes a huge difference to the frequent flyer, as this dictates with whom you can use your miles and with whom you can earn.
