BAGGAGE BONUS FROM SRILANKAN AIRLINES

14 June 2002

Skywards, the frequent flyer programme of SriLankan Airlines and Emirates, announces the launch of a brand new programme - Skywards Baggage Bonus - for loyal small-scale business customers of SriLankan Airlines and Emirates resident in Sri Lanka and South India. 

Members of the new Skywards Baggage Bonus programme can exchange Skywards Miles for free excess baggage when flying between Colombo and South India, the Maldives, the UAE and the Far East.

Skywards Baggage Bonus members automatically receive 25 free kilos of excess baggage over their ticketed (IATA) limit whenever they fly SriLankan or Emirates. In addition they can redeem Skywards Miles for free excess baggage for themselves and their nominees. For instance, on a journey from Chennai to Colombo, 3,000 Skywards Miles can be redeemed in exchange for an extra 10 free kilos of baggage. Or, on a journey from the UAE to the Far East via Colombo, 10 free kilos can be obtained against 18,000 Skywards Miles.

Skywards Baggage Bonus members can also exchange Skywards Miles for tickets on Economy Class, obtain pre-assigned seating facilities, accrue Skywards Miles on SriLankan, Emirates, partner airlines and partner establishments, among several other benefits.

"We are constantly looking for ways and means of adding value to the product we offer customers with special needs," says SriLankan's Head of Commercial G T Jeyaseelan. "Within Skywards, we identified a group of frequent fliers whose preference is for free excess baggage and so we created Skywards Baggage Bonus to cater to their needs. With Skywards Baggage Bonus we are glad to be able to offer more rewards to our loyal customers." 

Frequent fliers of SriLankan and Emirates resident in Sri Lanka or South India who acquire a minimum of 25,000 Tier Miles or complete 25 sectors on SriLankan and/or Emirates in one calendar year are also eligible for Skywards Baggage Bonus membership. Skywards Gold and Silver members resident in Sri Lanka or South India too, can opt to become members of Skywards Baggage Bonus on surrender of Silver and Gold membership. 

Skywards is one of the best frequent flyer programmes that the airline industry currently offers. The programme is more than just a miles-for-miles, offering members benefits not just on SriLankan Airlines and Emirates, but also on partner airlines - British Airways, Continental, South African Airways, All Nippon Airlines, Singapore Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Airlines as well as partner establishments such as Hertz, Sixt, Budget-Rent-A-Car, Citibank, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Arabian Adventures, Danat Dubai Cruises, Taj, Hilton and several other hotel chains.
