Exchange three Beijing-Shanghai round trips for a free ticket

Air China PhoenixMiles frequent flyers will accumulate additional mile awards when purchasing international or domestic flight tickets through Air China's hotline (4008-986-999). Domestic PhoenixMiles travelers who purchase designated cabin seats will be awarded 500 kilometers for every one-way flight or 1000 kilometers for every round-trip flight journey. When flying internationally, PhoenixMiles members will receive an additional 2 kilometers for every 10 RMB spent on international airfare.

An Air China free ticket can be traded for at least 8000 kilometers, and can be exchanged for even less when combined with other promotions. For example, for the Beijing-Shanghai route, the normal mileage award is 1088 kilometers. Now, passengers can enjoy an additional 500 kilometer award for each single trip, coming to a total of 1588 kilometers. Consequently, the mileage awards of 6 single trip flights or 3 round trip flights equate to a free ticket.

Trade 1000 miles for an RMB30 air ticket coupon

In order to utilize small amounts of mileage for frequent flyers, Air China has launched an initiative to trade 1000 kilometers for RMB 30 air ticket coupons. PhoenixMiles travelers are able to trade only a limited number of coupons (1000) at Air China's E-shop. With the coupons, members are able to use small mileage amounts and have more options in using their mileage.

Once coupons have been successfully traded, PhoenixMiles members will receive an Air China coding message within 3 working days. When purchasing tickets through Air China's hotline (4008-986-999), they can use the coupon along with the coding message and their mobile phone number. PhoenixMiles members are only able to trade a maximum of 3 coupons each time and use one coupon for each ticket.

    The coupon trades and additional mileage awards can be enjoyed at the same
time.
