The Benefits of Frequent Flying

Instead of a single Star Alliance frequent flyer programme, you simply just earn miles on your own member airline frequent flyer programme when you travel with any Star Alliance member airline. As you reach certain status levels in your frequent flyer programme, you will then qualify for the equivalent Gold or Silver Star Alliance status. This entitles you to a whole range of additional benefits including lounge access, extra baggage allowance, priority boarding, standby status and reservations.

For example

If you are a member of the TAP Portugal Victoria® programme and you fly with ANA, just present your Victoria card at check-in and you will automatically earn miles on your Victoria account. These miles will also help you to qualify towards Star Alliance Gold or Silver status.
