Airline miles are points earned through frequent flyer programs or credit card rewards that can be redeemed for travel-related perks. These miles accumulate based on flights taken or credit card spending and can be used to book flights, upgrade seats, or access other travel benefits. While there may be many uses for frequent flyer miles, the most common two are Award Flights and Class Upgrades:
Award Flights:
- Booking Flights: Use your miles to book flights directly through the airline or its partners. This can cover the full cost of the ticket or part of it, depending on the miles accumulated and the airline’s reward chart.
- Flight Availability: Award flights are subject to availability, so it’s best to book early or be flexible with dates to find the best options.
Class Upgrades:
- Upgrade Seats: Redeem miles to upgrade from economy to business or first class on flights. This improves comfort and service during your journey.
- Upgrade Process: To use miles for an upgrade, you typically need to request it at the time of booking or check with the airline for upgrade availability and procedures.
In Thailand, the most popular frequent flyer program is none other than Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus Pogram.
