Frequent Flyer Program News

Airguide Online, August, 2004

China Southern Airlines has added the new Shangri-La Hotel in Zhongshan to its Sky Pearl Club frequent flyer program. Sky Pearl Club members earn miles and special room rates throughout China and Asia under the program. This is the second Shangri-La in the Guangdong Province to join the program. It is the first international deluxe hotel in the city, located 15 minutes from the Zhongshan Ferry Port, which provides access to Hong Kong. Rack rates start at $118 for a superior room on weekdays and $130 on weekends.

CONTINENTAL ONEPASS

Continental OnePass members may now earn miles when renting cars from Budget 50 OnePass miles per day on all qualifying Budget rentals at participating locations worldwide. There's more online, at http://www.budget.com/continental

Continental OnePass members who order from the SkyMall catalog using the SkyMall/OnePass Onboard Order Form while flying on Continental Airlines will earn 15 miles per $1 spent.

OnePass members who buy a full-fare coach ticket on Continental or Continental Micronesia will be compensated with 2,500 bonus miles if they find themselves stuck in a middle seat. Details are at http://continental.com/onepass/news/continental/co_20040312_01.asp.> Effective March 1, Continental OnePass members will earn 150 percent of elite-qualifying miles (EQMs) and two elite-qualification points (EQPs) when flying on H-class fares. The change elevates H fares to the same status as Y fares. The new policy is described at http://continental.com/onepass/news/continental/co_20040303_01.asp.> Continental has announced new domestic and international routes, and if you're one of the first to fly, you can earn double or up to 4,000 OnePass miles in addition to your flight miles. Just remember to register for each promotion prior to travel to be eligible for flight miles.

The new routes are to and from Continental's hubs in Cleveland, Houston, and Newark. Travelers from other cities can still earn bonuses by connecting through a hub, though the double miles will only apply to the leg of the journey encompassing one of the new routes.

Members of the Continental OnePass program can now redeem miles earned for award travel, upgrades, and non-travel awards. To redeem miles, go to Continental's website.
