The Aeroflot Bonus program, created by the country's main air carrier, allows you to fly almost free of charge in any direction on Aeroflot and Sky Team alliance flights. The miles accumulation system is simple and similar to any other bonus program - make purchases at Aeroflot and its partners, get a certain number of miles for each purchase. You dial the required number - you are welcome to board, while you do not need to pay for a ticket. However, as elsewhere, this program has its own nuances, so let's take a closer look at how to buy a ticket for miles at Aeroflot.

Before you can buy an award ticket, you need to earn miles. Miles are conditional non-monetary units that are credited to the client's account for flights by Aeroflot or members of the Sky Team alliance, as well as for cooperation with program partners. As soon as the required number of miles is accumulated, you can use them to pay for tickets or other services of the alliance companies.

Miles are premium and status. Status miles allow you to move from one category in the program to another. Upon entry, the status "Basic" is assigned, which can later be upgraded. Upgrading status implies privileges, for example, the ability to add additional baggage, waiting for flights in a business lounge, and so on. Award miles do not increase status, but they can be used to pay for tickets later.

How to earn miles?

There are different ways to earn miles. The first thing to do is to register in the Aeroflot Bonus program on the airline's website. After registration, a personal number is assigned to the client and a mile account is opened, on which the accumulated bonuses will be stored.

To earn miles you need:

• Fly regular paid Aeroflot flights at least once every two years, otherwise all accumulated points will expire. In addition, miles are also credited for flights with airlines participating in the Sky Team alliance.
• Get a credit or debit co-branded card from one of the banks that are partners of Aeroflot. Among the most popular are Sberbank, Alfa Bank and Tinkoff Bank. Miles will also be credited to the customer's account for each purchase made with the card. We have about the features of such cards.
• In addition, customers receive welcome miles for joining the program, miles for birthday gifts, for participating in surveys, and for using partner services such as car rentals or hotel rentals.
• Buy miles on stock exchanges or accept as a gift from friends or acquaintances.

Where can you spend miles?

There are many ways to spend miles:

• Buying an award ticket.
• Service class upgrade.
• Charity.
• Purchase of goods and services in partner companies of the program.

However, most often they use the options associated with upgrading the class of service or buying an award ticket.

Features of buying Aeroflot award tickets

To buy Aeroflot award tickets, you need to have a certain number of miles on your account. The purchase system is built in such a way that the ticket price consists of two parts: the main part of the cost and service fees. The main cost can still be paid with miles, but the service fee will have to be paid from your own funds.

The whole world in the system is conditionally divided into several zones, for example, the central strip of Russia is conventionally called "Russia 1", the territory of Siberia "Russia 2", the European part of the continent "Europe" and so on. Depending on the flight distance and parts of the trip, as well as on the basis of the chosen class of service, the number of miles that a ticket will cost will be completely different. For example, you will have to pay 25,000 miles for a round-trip flight from Moscow to Munich, and 120,000 miles for a flight from Yekaterinburg to Los Angeles, given that you will be flying in business class. Flights in economy class will cost about half as much.

A special issue is the cost of service fees. The fact is that it will be absolutely the same when choosing tickets for both business and economy, so it is more profitable to fly business class for miles on Aeroflot flights. As for the amount of fees, they are the most affordable when flying from Moscow to neighboring countries, they are record low for traveling to Kazakhstan - only 348 rubles. For long distances, such a fee is more, for example, for a flight to the same Los Angeles from Yekaterinburg, you will have to pay fees in the amount of 14,500, but these are mere trifles compared to the fact that the total cost of tickets without miles is about 120,000 rubles.

Buying an award ticket: instructions

There are several ways to buy an award ticket, but the most convenient way is to do it directly on the Aeroflot website.

Online purchase

1. On the website of the Aeroflot Bonus program or by calling the hotline, we find out the status of our mileage account.
2. On the airline's website, go to the "Premium Calculator" section. In the fields "point of departure" and "point of arrival" enter the cities of interest. The calculator will then automatically calculate the number of miles required for the flight.
3. Go to the ticket booking section. Here it is necessary, again, to select the desired destinations and dates of the flight, and then tick the checkbox "Pay by miles". Next, fill in the rest of the fields, including the newly opened block, where you will need to enter the mileage account number.
4. If there are seats on the flights for the selected dates, all that remains is to pay the service fees and receive an e-ticket.

Purchase at the Aeroflot office

To purchase an award ticket for Aeroflot flights or Sky Team flights, you can contact the Aeroflot office or its representative offices. In this case, you must have money with you to pay the service fee, as well as an identity document, on the basis of which the ticket will be issued. Having announced the desired dates and destinations, as well as saying that you want to buy a ticket for award miles, you can relax - the airline employee will carry out the entire procedure for you.

If you travel a lot, learn to take advantage of it. Join the elite club "Aeroflot Bonus", earn miles for each flight and earn "air currency".

Today, even a child who is two years old can take part in the project; at twelve, he moves to the adult category, keeping the account number and all charges.

1. The holding's subsidiaries are Aurora, Pobeda, Rossiya.
2. Nineteen airlines SkyTeam is the second largest alliance after Star Alliance.
3. Program partner airlines.

Card issuance rules

To do this, it is enough to register on the Aeroflot.ru website, familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions, which are a public offer (an offer to conclude a transaction). Agree to the processing of personal data and fill out the form. Upon initial registration, welcome points are issued. After that, a personal card is sent to you, and a personal account becomes available, with which you can:

1. Buy a ticket and view information on it.
2. Issue a ticket in exchange for writing off bonuses.
3. Check the current balance and accrue unaccounted for.
4. Participate in ongoing promotions.

Calculation of a conventional unit

For each flight over a distance of eight hundred kilometers, you will receive five hundred miles, which can then be exchanged for an increase in the level of service or for the purchase of goods and services in partner stores. Do not forget to enter your personal number when booking or show your card at check-in.

In order to calculate the number of miles, you can use the Aeroflot Bonus miles calculator, which is located in a convenient format on the aeroflot.ru website. Here, network routes are not seasonally adjusted. Or get information by calling 8 800 444 55 55.

A mile is the main currency of the project (another name is “wrappers”), their number is determined by:

• tariff;
• class;
• flight distance.

Advice! Periodically, the rules of accumulation change, you need to follow the information on the Internet.

There are two types in total:

1. Qualifying - accrued for the flights themselves, only they can be used to obtain elite status. The further the distance and the higher the level of service, the more miles you will receive.
2. Non-qualifying - charged for payment for services or goods; they are usually received for cooperation. The full list is also posted on the Aeroflot.ru website.

Those who do not fly have no privileges, even if they make a lot of purchases .

Application area

"Air currency" cannot be sold and participate in several programs at once. Accrued Aeroflot Bonus miles can be used to buy an air ticket (you only have to pay extra for fuel surcharges). To do this, they must be active, at least one flight in twenty-four months must be recorded.

You can also upgrade your flight class, i.e. Having bought an economy ticket, take advantage of the comfort of a business class. It is advantageous to recruit them additionally by paying for services:

• book a hotel room;
• order a car;
• pay for a table in a restaurant.

Program loyalty

Members who have upgraded their positions to elite have even more benefits. There are new discounts, free services:

• access to the business - waiting room;
• priority check-in;
• extra piece of luggage and extra weight supplement;
• replacing the standard menu with a special one.

To do this, you need to dial twenty-five segments for the silver level or fifty for the gold level in a year. When the balance reaches the required level, the status increases automatically. You have the right to spend the earned miles on awards during the year, and this will not affect the receipt of elite status in any way. Employees of the company who constantly travel on business trips also benefit, because the company pays for their travel, and they receive a bonus.

Interesting! A segment is a flight segment equal to one boarding pass. For example, the flight Moscow - St. Petersburg - Moscow is two segments.

Bank cards - advantages

Another way to increase your mileage balance is to get a co-branded credit card, which is issued by financial institutions in cooperation with airlines. Today, there is a huge choice of banks to participate in the program, and each has its own conditions and cards of various levels, which, accordingly, affects the level of user capabilities. The most popular Aeroflot Bonus when accruing miles is the Master Card Standard. A year for maintenance is only 900 - 990 rubles. For Gold owners, the amount will be 2,500, Platinum - 4,500, World Black Edition - 7,900. Everyone has the right to choose the most beneficial payment instrument for themselves. As part of any program, there is a whole range of pleasant additional rewards and discounts.

Accrual does not occur:

1. When paying through ATMs.
2. When transferring Aeroflot Visa to the accounts of individuals and legal entities.

It is important! Does not existalso accruals for transportation at subsidized (state benefits), group and service fares, if available in the ID, AD and GC code.

Unrecorded information

If within sixty days the "wrappers" are not credited, they can be restored. When flying with Aeroflot flights, there are several ways:

1. Enter data on unrecorded flights in the "Send information about the completed flight" section.
2. Send an application with an attached copy of the ticket to [email protected]

If the flights were carried out on SkyTeam flights, you will need original documents that must be sent by mail or handed over to the bank .

Best before date

Not everyone flies as often as we would like. But in order for the savings not to burn out, you need to make at least one flight by a Skyteam group or airline alliance within the current two calendar years. And the sooner you use them, the better, because they burn out after a certain time:

• bonuses will disappear in three years;
• status cards are valid only until the end of the year.

Good deeds

There is a social project "Miles of Mercy", joint with the Podari Zhizn Foundation. Everyone can donate their savings to charitable organizations involved in saving seriously ill children, collecting money for treatment, rehabilitation and flights with accompanying persons. To do this, you must fill out a special application form for their transfer on the site podari-zhizn.ru.

Attention! For all the timethe existence of the project, passengers donated 708,398,225 miles, that's 24,493 tickets to different cities of the world.

Earning bonuses is only beneficial for those who fly at least four times a year and with the same air alliance. Also, when you can afford it, fly business class because it will earn you more miles.

Now not a single airline can do without some kind of bonus program, Aeroflot has had it for quite a long time - the same Aeroflot-Bonus. I have been flying with this airline for a long time, I like their planes and service, and, of course, I participate in this bonus program and earn miles. Recently I decided to still spend the accumulated money, I didn’t have a special reason for it, but I think, why not! Gotta try it! =) I tried it and this is what I found ...

Underwater rocks

I’ll note right away that the details of buying Aeroflot tickets for miles that I discovered, noticed and clarified by me are not some kind of “scam” or deception on the part of the airline, most likely all these “details” are described somewhere, but without much focus on them.

PS

It would be nice if Aeroflot revised the system for purchasing tickets for miles and made it more logical - if you buy for miles, then you only spend miles! It is still much more convenient, because there are times when you:

• did not put money on the card, thinking that you would buy everything for miles;
• withdrew most of the money so as not to have problems with cash withdrawals during transfers;
• the card is broken or lost, and the card data is not recorded anywhere;
• and other reasons...
