Introduction and overview This document supports information found in oneworld’s Delivery Requirements Document (DRD). It outlines policy and procedures in regards to disruption handling and ticketing when two or more oneworld members are involved. Customer feedback and market research highlights the need for robust processes to look after the customer ‘when things go wrong’. Implementing alliance wide processes will ensure the customer receives support, consistently, as they travel across oneworld’s members. oneworld Management Company (June 23, 2016 v3) Strictly private and confidential to oneworld member airlines Page 3 Each member should identify their internal stakeholders who require access to this document; processes should be put in place to communicate and manage the most up to date version in the field. Additional information on each member’s policy and procedures can be found in the Master Carrier Document (MCD), found in eworld or on the airlines intranet site. 3. oneworld’s customer proposition ‘Section D – Customer Experience’ of the DRD outlines the service delivery requirements each oneworld member must deliver. It includes information relating to staff training and communication, systems and processes. At the core of the alliance is providing a seamless experience between oneworld members, this can be facilitated in many ways; the DRD reflects this in the following terms: Section D – Customer Experience: Global travel support & ease: Staff from all member airlines are always there to help; on the ground, in the air, wherever our customer’s journey takes them. At every stage of the journey, customers should feel that they are valued customers of the oneworld alliance. All oneworld customers should be treated the same regardless of which airline they are travelling on with their queries answered at the first point of contact. Although all customers are important, additional servicing elements have been documented to ensure oneworld’s top tier frequent flyers (Emerald, Sapphire and Ruby tier members) are recognised for their loyalty (refer to Section B- Frequent Flyers in the DRD and the Disruption section in this document). 4. Definition of a oneworld flight A oneworld flight is defined as multi or single carrier flights operated AND marketed by oneworld carriers or oneworld affiliates. Flights operated or marketed by non-oneworld carriers are not considered oneworld flights. Customers are only eligible for oneworld benefits on oneworld flights. Example Journey Servicing 1. LHR- (BA)- JFK- (AA)-LAX- (QF)- This journey is a combination of oneworld flights SYD between BA and QF. oneworld benefits apply to the full journey and customer would receive full ticket service benefits (if ticketed in a single booking/PNR). oneworld Management Company (June 23, 2016 v3) Strictly private and confidential to oneworld member airlines Page 4 2.
