History of the Frequent-Flyer Program — App in the Air
Let’s step back in time and look at the unique history of the Frequent-Flyer Program

The Frequent-Flyer Program (FFP) is a loyalty program offered by airlines designed to encourage airline customers enrolled in the program to accumulate points, also known as “miles”. Once accumulated, the points can be redeemed for air travel or other travel rewards. The number of points earned are based on class of fare, distance flown on an airline or its partners, and the amount paid. Although, these are not the only ways flyers can earn points. Using co-branded credit and debit cards as well as spending money at associated retail outlets, car hire companies, and hotels are among the most popular ways to collect points and earn air travel benefits.
