How can I redeem Award Miles?
Award Miles can be redeemed for eligible award flights through SkyAlps Circle, subject to availability and applicable redemption conditions.

Can I cancel an award flight?
Yes. Award flights can be cancelled. The applicable cancellation conditions depend on the selected fare class.

What is the difference between Award Miles and Status qualification?
Award Miles can be redeemed for award flights. Status qualification is based on eligible flights completed and determines your Status Level and associated benefits.
Can I earn miles if I book my flight through a third-party provider?
That depends on the provider. Not all external booking platforms can transmit your SkyAlps Circle membership number, so miles may not be credited in these cases. To make sure you receive your miles, we recommend booking directly via the SkyAlps website or mobile app and entering your membership number when you book.
What are Status Levels?
Status Levels recognise and reward frequent travellers with additional benefits based on eligible flights completed within the qualification period.

Silver Member status is awarded after completing 15 eligible flights within a 24-month qualification period.

Can I renew my status?

How long does it take for a retroactive claim to be processed?
Claims are usually processed within four weeks, as each one is reviewed individually. In some cases, for example if additional documents are required, it may take a little longer. Once your miles have been credited, you will see them in your member profile.
Can I request retroactive credit for another member?

What is the Family Pool?
The Family Pool allows families to combine their Award Miles in one shared account and reach an award flight faster.

A Family Pool must include at least one adult and at least one child under 18. In total, up to two adults (e.g. spouses or partners) and up to five children under 18 can take part. Every participant needs their own SkyAlps Circle account.
What documents are required?
For children, official proof of the parent-child relationship is required, such as a birth certificate, family certificate or family status certificate; an identity card alone is not sufficient. For partners, a marriage certificate or proof of a shared residence, for example, is sufficient.
How do I create a Family Pool?
You can create a Family Pool in your SkyAlps Circle member profile. The member who creates the pool automatically becomes the Family Pool Administrator (“Head Member”) and must be at least 18 years old.
What does the Family Pool Administrator (“Head Member”) do?
The Administrator (“Head Member”) manages the Family Pool: they invite family members, remove them if necessary and are the only person authorised to redeem the shared Award Miles.

What happens when a child in the Family Pool turns 18?
