User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This depends greatly on:

1. The time of year you travel

2. The airline you use

3. Where in Australia you are travelling

4. How many stops/plane changes you are prepared to make

February 1st - Feb 21st using Delta travelling JFK - LAX- Sydney round trip is 305,000 Frequent Flyer miles.

Using the same dates and United airlines travelling Newark - Honolulu - Guam -Cairns and then back via Guam, Honolulu and Houston can be done for 150,000 FF miles - a massive improvement but longer flights and more stops.

What are some frequent flyer programs?

Asked by Wiki User

In the United States, Continental Airlines has long been recognized as having one of the best frequent flyer programs. You can earn elite status with segments or miles (most airlines only give you miles), and you are upgraded to first or business class based on your elite status, not the price of your ticket. On Continental if you are Platinum Elite and bought a $300 ticket, you will get upgraded to first or business class before a Gold or Silver Elite who bought a $500 ticket.
Delta airlines is the opposite. They upgrade elite members based on ticket value first. This makes no sense because the Platinum Elites fly far more than Silver or Gold.


As far as Star Alliance goes, BMI (British Midland International) has the lowest Silver Elite threshold 16K, and 38K for Gold Elite, and Thai Airways has 15K for Silver Elite and 50K for Gold elite but very little bonus miles and many program have expiration date. Gold Elite member obtains free access to most airline lounges in the world. Avoid many Asian airlines who have very stingy rewards and offer miles based on the price of the ticket only (Singapore only give miles only if you are a full-fare paying customers, China, EVA, Asiana all have high requirements).

What is meant by flyer number?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All major airlines have frequent flyer programs. They track the flights that program members take. After a certain number of flights, members are eligible for awards such as free flights or upgrades.

Because many people have the same name, and addresses change, airlines assign each member of their program a number. (It may contain letters, but it's commonly called a "number" anyhow.) This is the person's frequent flyer number or flyer number. If a person is a member of more than one program (you might as well be if you travel a lot, it costs nothing to join them) the numbers will be different for each airline.

How can you earn frequent flyer miles to an already booked flight?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No unless you have high elite/medallion status with an airline. You could then cancel your paid flight and get a full refund and then rebook with miles. You can do this as a passenger without Frequent Fier status too, but it would cost quite a bit of extra money.

How many United frequent flier miles do you need to get a free ticket?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on the type of ticket. For 25,000 miles you can get a round-trip economy class ticket within the U.S., assuming the flight isn't very popular with award travelers. If the initial allocation of award seats is gone, if you want to fly in a first or business class, or if you want to fly to another part of the world, you will need more miles. See United's Web site for a complete list.

You can pack. But it is not advisable. As most of the airlines are non-liable for such items, in case of lost baggage. So it is always advisable to keep any costly item in the cabin luggage.
