How do you join Oneworld Alliance? Oneworld Alliance isn’t “formally joined.” You simply create a frequent flyer account on any of the member airlines and use that member number when taking flights with Oneworld partners.

Are Oneworld and Star Alliance the same?
- Oneworld Alliance vs. Star Alliance
Star Alliance has nearly double the number of member airlines (27) as Oneworld (14). That means you can enjoy perks on a lot more airlines to even more destinations (over 1,300) than Oneworld (around 1,000).
With that said, Oneworld offers double the number of U.S.-based airlines. When flying within the U.S., Star Alliance members must fly United to enjoy Star Alliance perks. But Oneworld members can enjoy perks in either America or Alaska.
Also, as previously mentioned, Star Alliance only offers two tiers of elite status vs. Oneworld’s three tiers of elite status. Top-tier Star Alliance Gold doesn’t give you access to certain first-class lounges of other Star Alliance airlines — even if you’re an invitation-only United Global Services elite.
While one Oneworld airline — British Airways — opts out of providing elite baggage perks on basic economy fares, Star Alliance is much worse in this regard. Star Alliance Gold elites aren’t guaranteed free checked bags on certain fares offered by Lufthansa, Austrian, SWISS, Brussels Airlines, SAS, and Air New Zealand.
