POINTS TO REMEMBER

Here are some quick tips to remember when you're earning miles with us in the air.

Tier bonuses apply on every flight across all classes of travel. Tier points are your ticket to the top, Flying Club Gold, so check to see how many you can earn through our earning calculator.
Quote your Flying Club membership number when booking flights and show your Flying Club membership card at Check In so we can make sure you get the Flying Club miles you deserve.
Remember, if you've forgotten to quote your membership number before flying, you can still claim missing miles for up to 6 months after your flight. Simply hold on to your boarding pass and ticket stub or e-ticket receipt, log into your account and visit the 'Manage Your Account' section. Make sure you monitor your account until you see the miles you've earned have been credited.
You can also take advantage of even more mile earning opportunities with our codeshare airline partners who can extend your trip on to destinations we don't currently fly to. Collectively our network covers most of the world and you have the chance to earn miles every step of the way!

TIER POINTS

These are your ticket from Red to Silver and up to the very exclusive Gold. Earn enough tier points in a 12-13 month upgrade cycle and you could find yourself speeding up through the tiers. It's time to see how many you could earn on your flight.
