American Airlines, an AMR Corp. (AMR) company said it reached an agreement with Air Berlin outlining a comprehensive codeshare and frequent flyer relationship that would allow customers of each airline to book and travel on the other's network and earn frequent flyer miles as well. American and Air Berlin expect to implement the codeshare as soon as all government approvals are received.
The company said the codeshare agreement with Air Berlin adds more cities to American's network throughout Europe. With hubs in Berlin and Dusseldorf, Air Berlin offers service to more than 160 cities in Europe, Russia and the Middle East as well as to six cities in North America - New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Fort Myers, Fla., and Vancouver.
Additionally, the agreement allows customers traveling on codeshare flights to earn mileage credits in American's AAdvantage or Air Berlin's topbonus frequent flyer programs.
