· Qantas: Best Business Class to Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific

· Qatar Airways: Best Business Class to Africa & Best Business Class to the Middle East

In addition, oneworld is the winner of several airline alliance awards announced in the past year: Best Airline Alliance in the 2020 Business Traveller Awards, Best Airline Alliance in the 2020 Global Traveler Tested Reader Survey Awards and Best Alliance in the Global Traveler Wines on the Wing awards.
