Frequently Asked Questions
Which program should I pick?
Choose based on your most-flown airlines, alliance reach from your home airport, and perk value at your travel frequency.
When is redeeming miles a good deal?
Generally when the value per mile exceeds your personal target (e.g., 1.4–1.8¢). Premium cabins on partners often yield better value than domestic economy.
How do alliances help?
Alliances expand earning and redemption options and streamline benefits like lounge access and priority services across partner airlines.
