When airlines merge, you probably won't lose your frequent flier miles. Frequent flyers are considered airlines best customers, so they probably won't do anything to cause flyers to loose their miles.
- Past merging airlines have merged their frequent flyer programs and consolidated personal accounts.
- One of the major benefits airlines expect from a merger is the ability to fly fewer unprofitable seat miles and not just eliminate duplicate routes, which means cutting back on total flying and not just reducing capacity.
- For the airlines, frequent flyer programs have been free seats given on award that would otherwise go unsold. But, load factors have changed over the years. With merger cutbacks, the frequent flier will have an increasingly tough time finding award seats at the lowest basic rates and will probably have to use more miles for a confirmed seat.
- Today, frequent flyer program miles are about money, not value.
- Frequent flier loyalty is measured by your elite frequent flyer status. The higher your status, the better your redeemed perks. Selling frequent flyer miles to credit card companies has become highly profitable for major airlines and they will sell as many frequent flier miles as they can, instead of selling cheap tickets.
