Double Mileage Points on Air India's Flight

An Air India Spokesperson said that Members of 'Flying Returns', Air India's Frequent Flyer Programme, who travel on its NonStop flight AI-101/AI-102, being launched effective February 8, 2008 on the Delhi-New York- Delhi sector, can look forward to receiving double mileage points. This introductory offer, applicable for travel from either Delhi or New York, is valid till April 30, 2008.

'Flying Returns' members can earn mileage points on both international and domestic sectors each time they fly on qualifying flights of Air India or Lufthansa, its airline alliance partner, or select code share airline partners. Regardless of the country and currency in which the ticket is paid for, mileage points can be accrued based on sector and class of travel, and redeemed for travel on Air India and Lufthansa.

'Flying Returns' also has alliances with hotels, banks and other select companies which give its members a unique opportunity to earn award tickets faster. Through these partnerships, members can earn mileage points and enjoy special discounts. These Add On Mileage Points (AOMPs) can be used for claiming free tickets.

The free tickets can be gifted or transferred to any other person of the member's choice. Passengers can log on to for more information on the programme and members can register online to check their mileage points and other privileges.
