The basic idea behind air miles is that you accrue points that can be redeemed against flying. So many points equal one mile in the air. So if you need X amount of points for one mile, and your flight costs Y, when you redeem your points you pay for less miles making your overall flight cheaper. You can use the air miles as full or part payment towards the base ticket cost. With enough air miles you can cover the base cost of the ticket.
You will, however, still need to pay taxes. Many airlines offer loyalty programs where customers are rewarded with points to use towards air miles. The points generally correspond to the distance flown, so a longer flight will give greater rewards. Several credit and debit cards offer air miles when the card is used to make purchases. The important thing to remember is that without being a scheme member, you cannot collect points or air miles.
So sign up for the reward schemes with the airlines that you use most often to start collecting, and redeeming, points! However, keep in mind that some frequent flyer programs have expiration dates for air miles, so make sure to use them before you lose them.
As well as using air miles for discounted flights, you can also often use them for a variety of other products and services. These may include access to airport lounges, on-board meals, upgraded seats, and priority bookings. You can use airline air miles when you make your reservation. If you collect with a specific airline you can only use your rewards with that airline or a partner.
There are some generic schemes though that can be used with a number of airlines — to gain the benefits of your air miles you must make a booking through one of the partner travel agents. Some flights are subject to restrictions whereby you cannot use your air miles. This is often the case on flights that are already heavily discounted. You cannot usually use air miles in conjunction with promotions and special deals.
Sometimes, you have a choice — to use air miles and forego other benefits, or save your air miles and take advantage of other deals. It may be the case that there are some really great savings to be made and deals to be found without using your air miles. I need about Do you know if the story is true?
