Summer vacation is around the corner and while children look forward to traveling, budget constraints and exorbitant airfares can deter many families from planning air travel.
In today’s time, the internet has made booking flights easy and convenient, but the rising airfares can still be a deterrent for some.
If you are one of those individuals who want to travel but are worried about the high cost of air travel, don’t worry.
You can collect air miles for free and enjoy the perks associated with them.
Air miles, also known as reward points, can be redeemed for booking flights and services.
Ways to Earn Air Miles
There are three easy ways to earn air miles. Firstly, you can sign up for the airline’s loyalty program and earn reward points on your flight bookings.
Secondly, you can use co-branded credit cards that offer reward points on every transaction.
Lastly, you can make bookings through the airline’s partner brands like hotels, car rentals, etc. and earn air miles on those bookings.
Additionally, some credit cards offer points that can be redeemed for low or no cost flight tickets.
Redeeming Air Miles
If an airline denominates its reward points in Indian currency, they can be used to buy flight tickets and services.
These reward points can be treated as cashback offers. For example, if you book a SpiceJet ticket for Rs 5,000, you will get 10,000 points (1 point = 50 paise).
You can use these points to purchase flight tickets or for other services.
