AirTreks tickets are revenue fares, not award tickets, so you can't pay with miles. But you will earn miles on every flight. Each segment credits to the operating airline's program or a partner program. Long RTW trips can earn enough miles for a free domestic flight or upgrade.
You can't pay for an AirTreks ticket with frequent flyer miles. Our tickets are revenue tickets purchased through consolidator fare agreements, and those fares exist outside the mileage redemption system.
However, you will earn frequent flyer miles on most flights in your AirTreks itinerary. When you fly on a major carrier like Singapore Airlines, Qantas, Turkish Airlines, or Emirates, you can credit those miles to your loyalty account. A RTW trip with 6 to 10 international flights can easily earn 30,000 to 80,000 miles, enough for a domestic round-trip or a significant chunk toward a future international award ticket.
To earn miles, make sure your frequent flyer number is added to each booking. Your AirTreks consultant can add your loyalty numbers during the booking process. If you belong to multiple programs, your consultant can advise on which program to credit each flight to for maximum value.
A few caveats. Not every fare class earns the same percentage of miles. Some deeply discounted fare classes earn 50% or 25% of the full mileage. A small number of consolidator fares may not be eligible for mileage accrual at all, though this is uncommon on the carriers AirTreks typically uses. Your consultant can flag any segments where earning might be limited.
If you have a specific mileage goal (like earning enough for elite status), mention it during planning. Sometimes small routing adjustments, like choosing one airline over another for a particular leg, can make the difference between hitting your status target and falling short. That's the kind of optimization a human consultant can do that a booking engine can't.
