American Airlines will become the first airline in the world to offer interline electronic ticketing with all its global alliance partners when it completes the roll out of the service with Aer Lingus and Iberia in the coming days.
Interline e-ticketing, which enables passengers to use a single electronic ticket when their itineraries include flights on more than one airline, is now in place between 10 of the 28 potential pairings of oneworld partners, with another seven pairs on schedule to offer the service during the next couple of months.
By then, interline e-ticketing will be available for more than 90 percent of passengers connecting worldwide between oneworld member airlines. The rest of the alliance’s network will offer the service by the end of this year.
