[edit] Notes

As affiliate members, LAN Argentina, LAN Ecuador and Dragonair will offer the full range of oneworld services and benefits. LAN Argentina and LAN Ecuador will join the other airlines in the LAN alliance as members of oneworld - Chile-based LAN Airlines and LAN Express, and LAN Peru - strengthening oneworld’s lead still further as the only global alliance with any airline members in the Americas south of Mexico.

With five airlines in Latin America and oneworld partners American Airlines and Iberia also serving the region extensively internationally, as well as British Airways flying to the region, it makes oneworld the obvious alliance of choice for traveling to, from or within this continent. The latest two additions also build further on oneworld’s position as the leading Spanish-speaking alliance. They will considerably broaden the alliance’s network within Latin America, through the addition of a domestic schedule within Argentina and regional international services to and from Argentina and Ecuador, besides expanding its links between the region and North America and Europe. LAN Argentina will also add four destinations to the oneworld map - Iguazú (IGR), Comodoro Rivadavia (CRD), Río Gallegos (RGL), El Calafate (FTE). When LAN Argentina and LAN Ecuador join, their frequent flyers will be able to earn and redeem mileage awards on all other oneworld carriers. Top-tier (Emerald and Sapphire) members will also have access to the 400 plus airport lounges worldwide offered by the alliance’s airlines.
