Swiss International Air Lines is now the 10th Star Alliance member airline to offer Star Alliance Upgrade Awards, a redemption option which enables customers to redeem miles or points from their Frequent Flyer Programme (FFP) accounts for one-class upgrades on scheduled flights operated by the participating Star Alliance member carriers.
With Star Alliance Upgrade Awards, SWISS is pleased to once more offer our customers an additional benefit within the world`s leading airline alliance, commented Swiss Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer Christoph Beckmann.
Star Alliance Upgrade Awards requires a confirmed booking prior to travel which can then be upgraded through the existing FFP redemption channels, in general, either through calling reservations or visiting a website (depending on carrier`s offer). The upgrade is processed electronically, eliminating the need to issue paper certificates to the customers. Both conventional paper tickets as well as electronic tickets can be upgraded under this new scheme.
