Thanks to Tommy, Gary and a guy you haven’t met. A guy who worked tirelessly while reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to his daughter. Thanks to Ed. Thanks to Karen and Melinda and the House of Miles staff. Thanks to everyone who helped to make this happen.
I’m about ready to round this up. We’re going to have dessert and a great after party. And I’m going to have my picture taken with all of you. Happy 25th Freddie Awards – bye now!
The winner is Flying Blue Promo Awards! Congratulations Flying Blue.
“Next year we’ll make an even better promotion, thank you.”
For a limited time, Air France / KLM Flying Blue offered a discount of 25 percent on Promo Awards to all European destinations served by both airlines. Members who booked an eligible flight between Oct. 30 and Nov. 29, 2012 for travel between Nov. 1, 2012 and March 26, 2013 could receive a 25 percent discount.
When Jet Airways JetPrivilege offered a 20 percent discount on award tickets booked online for flights within India, they gave members nearly an entire year to take advantage of the offer. From March 25, 2012 until March 31, 2013, members could redeem award tickets on Jet Airways and JetKonnect in economy and Premiere class for 20 percent fewer miles on domestic routes.
“Thanks to the members – this award means a lot to us.”
The crowd cheers for American AAdvantage – congrats to American!
American AAdvantage offered double elite-qualifying miles and points on all American Airlines, American Eagle and American Connection flights between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31, 2012. Elite members also earned double award miles on all travel while non-elites could earn double miles on travel between Nov. 16 and Nov. 26, 2012. This was a much appreciated boost for members who still needed to log some miles before the end of the elite-qualifying year.
“Of course we want to use our airline miles too,” says Gary Leff. The winner as spoken by the members is Flying Blue! Congratulations!
“Thank you very much! It means a lot.”
This is a first time win for Air France / KLM Flying Blue in the Best Redemption Ability category. Award sales are a sure way to win the heart of many a frequent flyer and Flying Blue offers up to 50 percent off promo flight awards every couple of months. Hotel stays, car rentals, extra baggage allowance and in-flight meals are just a few of the other types of awards available to members.
