Most modern airlines have incentive programs that most often use their services. The Russian national air carrier Aeroflot is no exception. For almost 20 years, there is a program called Aeroflot Bonus. What is the Aeroflot Bonus Silver Level? What range of opportunities does it open to its owners?
Brief history and description of the program
Aeroflot Bonus is an incentive program for airline passengers of the Russian national carrier. It was established in 1999. After 10 years of its existence, its participants were more than 1.5 million passengers, more than 200 thousand of which were citizens of foreign countries.
According to the terms of the program, a passenger receives miles on his individual account for using the airline's services. That is, they are charged for each flight, depending on the fare of the ticket. In addition, you can earn miles for making purchases at a number of outlets, subscribing to periodicals, paying for communication services of operators, and purchasing insurance policies. The project participant can spend the accumulated miles on the purchase of air tickets, upgrading the on-board service class, and also on paying for the additional service of the carrier.
There are currently 4 levels of participation - basic, silver, gold and platinum. Now let's talk in detail about the silver level “Aeroflot bonus”.
