Frequent Flyer Mileage Awards

frequent flyer

Frequent flyer mileage awards for business travelers are a fantastic award for business men and women who have to be away from their families. Tom Jackson one of the owners of World Travel explains how the frequent flyer mileage awards programs work.

Business travelers, among others, earn bonus complimentary air transportation via ones air travel on behalf of their employers. Most companies who have staff traveling by air allow them to retain frequent flyer credits for personal use as a perk for their time away from home. Each major airline grouping such as One World featuring 11 different carrier’s honor one another’s earned miles for future, basically, complimentary air transportation. In some cases, the individual carriers in a composite group, like One World, will have additional monetary fees. The earned miles allow for future vacation plans for the traveler plus their guest which in most cases would be their family. Future flights are made available to the public 350 days prior to flight dates. The importance here is that on many domestic and international routes, inventory for frequent flyer miles gets absorbed much in advance of travel dates. Once transportation is secured, then reservations for ground activity will take place. The earned miles in most cases have expiration dates and must be consumed or lost. Some travelers who don’t use the miles will donate them to charities for their uses. Miles can actually be used for services other than air transportation. All of the air groups give the owner of the miles many options and choices to choose from when redeeming. These options include car rentals, hotel accommodations and cruises as examples. Some airlines even allow consumption of all-inclusive tour products as well which really is a great reward from your frequent flyer mileage awards. If the situation arises where one does not have enough frequent flyer miles to complete their transaction numerous carriers allow that frequent flyer traveler to buy additional miles for their use.
