Fifth freedom flights
Article Abstract:
Agreements between airlines can allow business travellers to travel on the airline of a third country from one country to another, and thus benefit from luxury in short-distance flights. This can apply to travellers from the UK to Switzerland who are able to use an Emirates flight. These options are not widely publicised, and daily flights tend not to be available. Travellers may still wish to use this method despite the drawbacks, in order to benefit from better service.
