Northwest Airlines Global Alliance Partners
Northwest Airlines has entered into strategic alliances with many of the world's best airlines, providing customers with service to more than 1000 cities in over 160 countries on six continents, offering truly global scope.
Core benefits offered to Northwest customers through our alliances include:
- One-stop reservations and ticketing.
- One-stop check-in* providing seat assignments, boarding passes, and luggage check to final destination.
- Coordinated flight schedules providing more flight choices with quick and easy connections.
- Earn/Redeem WorldPerks miles.
Please refer to the matrix below for additional information on benefits provided by the airline with which you are traveling. To find detailed information:
- Click on the airline name in the matrix to receive information on each airline, where they are based, global markets served by that airline, awards received by that airline, and aircraft fleet information.
- While reviewing airline specific information, click on the airline logo if you wish to link to that airline's website.
*Be sure to check in with the operating carrier.
**The benefits of an alliance are made possible, in part, due to "Code Sharing." This is a practice whereby Northwest shares the services of another airline and sells that service as if it were a Northwest flight. Customers benefit by having a greater number of destinations and flight choices on multiple airlines that can be conveniently booked through a single source. Northwest has "Code Sharing" arrangements with most of our alliance airlines.
