WHY

What makes the Premia membership special

    Points are accumulated based on how much you paid. A higher member status means you accumulate points at a higher rate, too.

  2. Points are easy to use, too.

    The collected points can be used at any time.

    Points can be used not only towards the purchase of flight tickets, but also towards additional services or cabin upgrades.

    *Available services may vary depending on the time of the service or the route.

  3. The more frequently you take flights, the more benefits you get.

    Member status are determined based on the points accumulated over the past 24 months immediately prior.

    The higher the member status, the higher rate at which points are accumulated, and the more varied the benefits.
