GLOBAL airline alliance oneworld has added upgrades to oneworld events, a travel service for the conventions, conferences, exhibitions and special events markets.
Firstly, booking fees for flight reservations made on oneworld events’ dedicated websites are waived permanently.
Secondly, flight discounts from oneworld events can now be accessed through designated travel agencies.
Thirdly, oneworld events’ network has expanded to close to 1,000 destinations in over 150 countries as 15 new airlines joined as full members or affiliates in the last two years. This includes US Airways, Brazil’s TAM Airlines, Qatar Airways, and SriLankan Airlines.
The announcement was made yesterday at IMEX America in Las Vegas, more than a year since oneworld events first took off at IMEX Frankfurt in May 2013.
It is aimed at conferences, conventions, exhibitions, and special events with a minimum of 100 delegates flying from at least two regions.
The programme has signed up more than 100 large-scale events for a total of over 200,000 delegates in more than 55 different locations since its inception.
