The big news for Air Berlin is its acceptance into the oneworld alliance and new partnership with American AAdvantage (see Inside Edition Americas in this issue for more information about this development).

But that’s not all the news from the airline. Members of topbonus can now take advantage of a new partnership with DeutschlandCard where they can convert their DeutschlandCard points into topbonus miles at a ratio of 1:1. For more information, visit http://www.airberlin.com/topbonus

While you’re on the site, be sure to check out Air Berlin’s new Premium Partners such as HRS Hotel Portal to get three miles per euro spent and Europcar to earn 500 miles for each car rental. And until Sept. 30, 2010, when you rent from Europcar for four or more days, you can choose to earn 500 more award miles or 500 more status miles.

Another new partner is Holiday Autos, a car rental booking agent where you can get 500 miles for each rental.
