The number of award miles needed to snag a seat in the premium cabin will
rise dramatically next year at Delta (DAL) and United (UAL)—and airline
mile collectors are fuming.
The biggest changes in both airlines’ loyalty programs will be for
international travel in first and business class, where some award levels on
United will jump as much as 87 percent. To be awarded a first-class ticket
now from North America to the Middle East, for example, a traveler has to
spend 150,000 frequent-flyer miles. Beginning Feb. 1, that award seat will
require 280,000 miles when flying on one of United’s partner airlines. The
same trip on United’s own planes will require 180,000 miles, up from 150,
000. From North America to Europe, first class on a partner airline will
rise 63 percent, from 135,000 to 220,000 miles.
