How to Use Frequent Flier Mileage

Enrolling in an airline's frequent flier mile program allows you to accumulate miles on every flight you make with that particular airline. Once you've reached a certain number of miles, you may begin using them to book reward flights. The number of miles needed varies by airline as well as your destination when booking your reward flights. Enrollment in frequent flier mile programs is free and you begin accumulating miles as soon as you make your first flight.

Instructions

    • 1

      Book your reward flight by visiting your airline's website to make a flight reservation. Log in to your account so the airline recognizes you and your frequent flier mile account.

    • 2

      Click on the link to your airline's frequent flier program and scroll down to the selection titled "Make Reward Reservation."

    • 3

      Enter your flight destination, departure city and your departure dates and search for a reward flight. The results will show all available reward flights for those dates and let you pick the one that works with your schedule. From here you will confirm your flight, your seat and your identity. Your airline will bring up your frequent flier mile account and show you whether or not you have enough miles for your trip. If you do, your points will decrease once you confirm your booking.

      Check in and board your flight the same way you would if it were a regular flight rather than a reward flight. Understand that you do not earn frequent flier miles on reward flights.
