Usually, the cost of an air ticket varies depending on the demand and popularity of flights. For holidays, weekends, vacations or just the next few days, the price of the flight is higher than in common days weeks.

But for bonuses, the big advantage is the fixed price for the flight.

The restriction exists only on the availability of award seats on the flight, because, as a rule, they leave from 5 to 10 seats at the discretion of the airline.

How to earn miles

To start accumulating miles, you first need to register on the airline's website and get an individual membership number in the program. A few miles are often credited as a welcome gift. At Aeroflot, Lufthansa, AirFrance, KLM, 500 points immediately fall on the passenger's account. Then, when buying tickets, this number must be entered into the reservation.

In the event that the ticket has already been redeemed, but the bonus number has not been entered, this can be done either at the check-in desk at the airport before departure, or after returning on the airline's website in your personal account. In addition, all flights that were made no later than 3-6 months from the current date can also be counted and converted into miles. This general rules all airlines, but further details may vary.

Miles can be bought if you don't have enough for an award ticket. For example, you can buy 10,000 miles from Siberia Airlines during the year, from Emirates you can buy from 2,000 to 25,000 miles per year, AirFrance allows passengers to buy from 2,000 to 75,000 miles depending on the level of the member.

Another fast way how to accumulate miles without making many flights is a bank card. Many airlines jointly with financial institutions issue a single card, when paying with which a percentage of purchases with bank card in the form of miles. Russian banks cooperate with the national airlines Aeroflot and Siberia. This offer such large banks as Sberbank, Alfa-Bank, VTB24, Tinkoff Bank, Otkritie Bank have.

Where is the best place to earn miles?

Since there are a lot of airlines, each has its own attractive system, the passenger is faced with a choice - where is it better to accumulate miles? It is impossible to issue cards for all airlines, it is inconvenient and very difficult to remember everything. Important to choose comfortable way how to earn miles and then spend them. Here the system of alliances comes to the rescue, which includes the main major airlines of the world, which have a very large geography of flights.

There are only THREE main alliances, therefore, having issued 3 different cards, the passenger has already covered all countries and continents: Skyteam, Oneworld and StarAliance.

And there are some airlines that are part of each other's loyalty program. For example, a group Skywards

How miles are credited when buying a ticket

It remains to find out how the bonus accrual system works, what does it depend on, how are airline miles accrued? The main criterion is the cost of the purchased ticket and the distance of the flight. Those. A low-cost, short-haul flight earns fewer points than a long-haul one.

Let's analyze the Aeroflot Bonus Mile program as an example. When buying a ticket from Aeroflot, the accrual of miles depends on the fare ticket purchased: economy and business class, in turn, are divided into sections, designated by different letter codes. If the passenger already has a high level in the loyalty program, then the percentage of points is higher.

It is important to keep in mind that each airline will credit more points if the passenger has its card as the main carrier for their flights. For example, on the Aeroflot bonus card, more miles will be credited when flying with Aeroflot flights than with AirFrance, although they are in the same alliance. If possible, this should be taken into account by the passenger when choosing an airline when joining the loyalty program. It is necessary to consider which airlines the traveler uses most often in order not to lose extra miles.

The Aeroflot Bonus program was launched in 1999 and today it has over 1.5 million members. Russian banks have been actively involved in the issuance of co-branded cards with the program relatively recently. At first glance, everything is simple: we pay with a card, get miles, pay for air tickets with miles. But is it really so? About all the intricacies of accumulating and using miles in our article.

The grace period under the terms of Alfa-Bank also applies to cash withdrawal operations. Only the commission for cashing out increases the cost of these funds, which is automatically debited from the account, expressed as a percentage and amounts to at least 300 rubles per transaction.

How bonuses are accumulated: Aeroflot miles calculator

When applying for a co-branded card in the Aeroflot Bonus program, a personal account is opened for each client; according to the rules, the account cannot be transferred, sold, or combined with the accounts of other participants.

To this account you will be credited miles, virtual reward units, of two types:

1. Qualifying- miles for flights on regular flights of Aeroflot and partner airlines, their number depends on the flight distance and booking class (minimum 500 for each flight).
2. Non-qualifying- miles for participating in partner programs (banks, hotels, Arkady Novikov's restaurant chain, Megafon mobile operator, TripAdvisor.ru portal, etc.).

Alfa-Bank credit cards belong to affiliate programs, which means that the miles accumulated with their help will give the right to purchase award tickets, but will not participate in determining the client's qualifications (Elite club for silver and gold levels). All new clients are assigned a Basic level qualification.

You can calculate how many qualifying miles you will receive for a flight on the Aeroflot website calculator.

What are non-qualifying miles for?

For the first settlement transaction on the card (welcome miles) - 500/1000 depending on the level of the card.
As a birthday gift - 500 (only for active cards).
For funds spent from the card at the rate of 1 to 1.75 miles for 30 rubles / 1 US dollar / 1 euro (the accrual rate depends on the card level).
For the balance of the accumulative account "Airplane" at the rate of 1 mile for every 120 rubles / 20 US dollars / 18 euros.

The Alfa-Bank website has a handy calculator for calculating non-qualifying miles: choose the type and level of the card, currency, calculation period and how much you plan to spend on the card per month.

The program shows you how many miles you can earn and which ticket you can use those miles for.

For example, with an average monthly expense of 80,000 rubles. 32,500 miles can be accumulated per year with an MS Standard credit card (including welcome miles).

They will be enough for a one-way ticket "Moscow - Nice", "Moscow - Dubai" or "Moscow - Rome", "Moscow - Hurghada", but already there and back.

You can check the actual number of accumulated miles in your personal account on the Aeroflot website, for access you will need your membership number and password.

If you subscribe to the SMS-informing service, the balance will come upon request in the form of SMS-messages. Once a year for Basic qualification customers (1 quarterly for Elite) a report on accumulated miles is sent by e-mail.

According to the rules of the program, miles are credited to the account within 60 days from the date of the transaction. If the miles have not appeared on your account, you have 12 months to apply for the restoration of bonuses, a copy of the receipt confirming the purchase / payment for services is attached to the application.

How can miles burn?

If within two calendar years the program member does not register a single flight on his account regular flight Aeroflot or SkyTeam alliance airlines at the rate specified by the program rules, all accumulated miles are burned out without the right to be restored.

How to use miles

You can use the accumulated miles in three ways:

Issue an award ticket.
Upgrade the class of service in an already purchased ticket from "Economy" to "Business".
Pay for the services of program partners.

Let's take a closer look at the first method.

Here again we fill destinations flight, flight dates, number of seats, class of service and type of flight, check the box below that you have read and agree to the Booking Rules - click "Find Flights".

If you check the box “Pay by miles” the system will ask you for your personal account number and password.

In the “Select Flight” tab, you can see the cost of the ticket: in the flight line, the cost of 1 ticket, in the upper right corner - the full cost for the specified number of people.

The cost of each ticket is divided into 2 digits: base fare and airline taxes/fees.

How many miles will be needed to pay for the first digit, we determined above, but the second digit is the amount that you will need to pay with real money. For one flight, the amount of tax and fee is the same for both business and economy class.

For example, let's calculate how much it will cost us to fly from Moscow to Egypt (Cairo) for two people in economy class round trip.

We calculate the required number of miles: Economy RT needs 30,000 miles * 2 people = 60,000 miles
We calculate the average monthly turnover on the Standard card, which will allow you to accumulate 60,000 miles in 1 year = 75,000 rubles. per month (excluding welcome and gift miles)
Choose a flight: 2 tickets (round trip) cost 1,121.20 USD, of which 816.00 USD is covered by miles, 305.20 USD must be paid extra.

For a flight in business class, you will also need to pay 305.20 USD extra, but you will need much more miles - 100,000.

What you should pay attention to when issuing award tickets:

during periods of increased demand, Aeroflot has the right to impose restrictions on the issuance of premiums;
in case of loss/damage/theft of an award ticket, its duplicate will not be issued, miles will not be returned to the account;
Award tickets for flights of SkyTeam members can only be issued on a round-trip route;
online issuance of award tickets ends 6 hours before departure;
issued award tickets cannot be returned, exchanged or transferred to another person;
making changes to the ticket on your initiative will cost at least 35/50/100 euros.

"Savings Bank of Russia";
"Russian Standard Bank";
Citi Bank;
