History

The date of formation of the national company "Belavia" is considered 05.03.96, but it would be more correct to indicate 1991, when, after the collapse of the USSR, the Belarusian Civil Aviation Association inherited the entire aircraft fleet located on the territory of this republic.

After the reorganization of civil aviation in Belarus, the company opens new international routes, and since August 1997 it becomes a full member of the IATA Association.

In 1998 Boeings appeared in the park, and after the merger with Minskavia - Yaks. Before that, Tu, Ana and Ily were involved in the flights.

2000 - merger with Mogilevavia, and in 2002 established cooperation with Austrian airlines. In 2003, joint work with Air Baltic began. During the same period, commercial agreements are concluded with Aeroflot, Lufthansa, LOT, Aer Lingus and others.

In the National Competition "Brand of the Year" "Belavia" became in 2003 the owner of the bronze for professionalism. In 2008, the company receives a certificate of compliance with safety standards.

Every airline that values \u200b\u200bits reputation and values \u200b\u200bits customers has a frequent flyer program.

Every airline that values \u200b\u200bits reputation and values \u200b\u200bits customers has a frequent flyer program. It's hard to believe, but it seems that such programs are the very rare case when free cheese is not only in a mousetrap. True, you still have to earn money for cheese. How to do this - in a brief overview of the loyalty programs of airlines flying from Minsk.

First, a few general comments. Participation in the programs is voluntary and absolutely free, and any passenger over two years old can become a participant. The general principle for all programs: the "conventional units" earned on flights - most often miles - is a kind of air money, which, if sufficient, can be exchanged for a higher class of service, a ticket, additional services of the airlines themselves, as well as the services of their partners from related areas activities (hotels, car rental salons, shops, etc.). The most important difference between loyalty programs, as a rule, lies in the mechanisms for accumulating bonus miles. Important: a competent member of any loyalty program always mentions (indicates) the card number before booking a ticket, so that the earned miles are immediately credited to the account (in most programs, after the flight, when saving boarding passes, you can credit miles after the fact), and remember that in the case of a flight to for an award ticket, taxes and fees are paid by the passenger.

Belavia: Belavia Leader

How to get involved: To join the program, you must fill out an application form, which can be obtained from sales offices or agents, and send it to the airline by mail. You can also fill out a questionnaire for participation in the program on the official website. The airline promises to consider the application within 15 working days. After a participant gains 1500 qualifying points or makes three paid flights on regular Belavia flights, a permanent program participant card is sent to him. Until this moment, the participant uses a temporary card, which can be obtained along with the questionnaire at the offices or printed from the personal account on the website.

How to collect points: Points within the framework of Belavia Leader can be qualifying, which are awarded for a flight on regular flights of the airline and depend on the route and booking class, and non-qualifying, which can be additionally accrued within the framework of special offers, as “gifts” for certain events or bonuses for members of elite program levels. In order to move from the starting to the “silver” elite level, you need to collect 25,000 qualifying points during the year, to the “gold” level - 50,000. "Gold" levels, respectively.

What to look for: Points are not earned on charter flights and award tickets. Points can be awarded for flights made 2 months before check-in. The "shelf life" of the accumulated points is 2 years. It is best to book an award ticket 4 working days before the planned flight.

Belavia Leader provides for participation in the corporate clients program. A flight in economy class on the route Minsk - Tel Aviv is estimated at 600 points.

Already, program members are exempt from the check-in fee for airBaltic flights (5 euros for regular passengers).

CzechAirways: OKPlus

How to get involved: To participate in the program, you need to fill out an application in a regular or electronic form or register by phone at the airline's contact center. The membership card of the program will be sent immediately after the first operation is marked on the member's account: the flight performed or the use of the partner's service.

How to earn miles: Miles are earned on scheduled flights operated by Czech Airlines and its SkyTeam partners, as well as on flights operated by other airline partners of the program and on the services of non-airline partners. In addition, miles can be purchased or transferred (albeit in a limited number) from another OK Plus member's account. Miles can also be credited for recommending a new active participant in the incentive program (1000 miles for each registered newcomer). At least 500 miles are credited for one domestic Czech Airlines flight, and 750 miles for an international flight. The number of miles also depends on the fare of the purchased ticket. When a passenger accumulates the required number of miles, he automatically receives a “silver”, “gold” or “platinum” membership card, which is valid for one year.

What to look for: During the Promo Bonus, additional miles are credited for each flight. If an award ticket or other OK Plus award is returned, 5,000 miles will be debited from the member's account. When the flight class is changed, a certain number of miles is deducted from the account of the holder of the "silver" or "gold" card for each segment of the route, depending on the flight distance. A member's account statement can be received every month by email (free) or every quarter by regular mail (2,000 miles). New members of the program can earn miles for flights with Czech Airlines, which were made up to 3 months before the registration date.

EtihadAirways: EtihadGuest

How to get involved: The fastest way is to fill out a questionnaire at any representative office of the airline or at the check-in counter at the airport, so the passenger instantly becomes the owner of a membership card. The most technologically advanced is to fill out the on-line registration form. In this case, the membership card will be sent within 30 days. The "classic" way is to send a completed application form and receive a membership card by regular mail.

How to earn miles: Miles are credited for flights operated by the airline and for using the services of partners (hotels, banks, car rental services, shops). As miles are accumulated, the member rises from the first level (Etihad Guest Tier) to the “silver” level (Etihad Guest Silver), and then to the “gold” (Etihad Guest Gold). Each new level implies new bonuses, including when accruing miles. The number of miles accrued depends on the flight distance, as well as on the ticket class. For example, for a Pearl Business class ticket, 50% of the number of miles is added, for a Diamond First class - 100%. Upon registration, a new Etihad Guest member will receive 500 welcome miles.

What to look for: The program allows you to receive bonuses immediately after the first mile is credited. If a member does not have enough miles to receive bonuses, he has the right to use the combination of miles plus money. In this case, the passenger decides for himself how many miles to spend and how much to pay in cash. Moreover, miles are also credited for the amounts spent on receiving bonuses under the program. The program runs constantly, i.e. a member can purchase an award ticket even during the high season. An additional benefit of Etihad Guest is the Family Card, which allows you to register up to 8 family members and transfer 100% of the accumulated miles from account to account, which makes it possible to earn the miles required for awards much faster. In addition, miles for flights that were made 3 months before the registration of the card can be restored. Etihad Guest Miles are valid for 3 years from the date they were earned. For a flight on the route Minsk - Abu Dhabi in the Coral Economy class, 2,463 miles are credited.
