oneworld Emerald
The top oneworld alliance status tier. Atmos Platinum and Titanium both correspond to oneworld Emerald, unlocking first-class lounge access on international flights.
oneworld Emerald is the top oneworld alliance recognition tier. Both Atmos Platinum and Atmos Titanium members hold oneworld Emerald status. Emerald is the highest level of cross-alliance recognition you can hold and unlocks the most generous benefits across oneworld partners.
Emerald benefits typically include:
- First-class lounge access on international oneworld flights — Cathay First, BA Concorde Room, Qantas First, JAL Sakura First, etc.
- The highest priority for security, boarding, and baggage.
- Largest extra baggage allowance.
- First-class check-in counters where available.
Both Platinum and Titanium reach Emerald — the difference between them is on the Atmos / Alaska / Hawaiian side (Titanium adds day-of-departure premium-cabin upgrades), not on the oneworld side.
