Air China and Continental Merge Frequent Flier Programs
Good news for travelers who regularly fly to and from the United States and China: Now, large airlines from each country have bridged to combine frequent flier benefits, making it easier to gain points. The announcement comes in the wake of Continental switching alliances recently.
As of last week, both Continental and Air China have agreed to share frequent flier points so that travelers may earn miles easier.
Now, Air China PhoenixMiles members will earn Status Mileage on all scheduled flights run by Continental. They can also redeem Award Travel for any round-trip flights and Award Upgrades involving Continental.
Continental OnePass members can also accrue EQM and EQP on flights, and redeem Award Travel and Upgrades for round-trips with Air China.
