From June 1 through August 31 this year, Air
China is offering members of its frequent flyer program, “Air China
Companion,” special rates at the world-renown Shangri-La Hotels and
Resorts. Companion members will also receive triple mileage credit in
their Air China frequent flyer accounts for their qualifying stays with
Shangri-La.
The Shangri-La, one of Asia-Pacific’s most prestigious hotel chains, has
North American properties in Chicago, Las Vegas, Miami, and Vancouver.
Additionally, from May 14 to August 31, Air China will offer double
mileage credit* to Companion members for each second-night’s stay in any
one of 3,650 hotels worldwide of the InterContinental Hotels Group.
Passengers will earn an additional 800-kilometer award for every
qualified second-evening stay in any InterContinental, Crowne Plaza,
Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites, or
Candlewood Suites hotel.
“As China’s first frequent flyer program, ‘Air China Companion’ has been
leading the way to reward Air China travelers for their business and
loyalty to the carrier, on both domestic and international flights,”
said Mrs. Zhang Lan, Senior Vice President for Air China. “Just like
this summer’s promotions with Shangri-La and InterContinental, Air China
Companion has developed a range of valuable benefits and rewards for its
members, and we continue to add activities that our travelers value.”
Air China, as with all major mileage programs, provides mileage credit
for trips flown and other partner activities, including use of its
affiliated credit card, which can then be redeemed for free flights,
upgrades, or other program features. As well, Air China Companion
members will further benefit when Air China enters the Star Alliance,
expected in the coming year.
As China’s sole designated flag carrier and the Airline Partner of the
Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, Air China serves 78 domestic and 39
international cities with an extensive network from its Beijing hub,
conveniently linking passengers between China and destinations around
the world. In North America, Air China serves New York,
San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Vancouver with non-stop service to
Beijing.
