Miles and Loyalty Points will only be earned when booking direct, with partner airlines, and through certain agencies.

The paid promotion allows members from 13 airline programs to match their status to an equivalent level in the Flying Blue program.

Elite status brings benefits when flying United Airlines and across the Star Alliance.

The “preferred partnership’ allows members to transfer points between programs and allowed select Bonvoy customers to achieve airline status.
