Major shake-up at China Southern FFP

China Southern has made significant changes to its
frequent flyer program - The Sky Pearl Club - and has dropped the mileage threshold
as low as 10,000 for a free ticket.China Southern Airlines is committed to become the most customer centric airline in
China. The Sky Pearl Club is the main “vehicle” to increase the knowledge about the
customers and hence the airline’s focus on making sure it offers a best in class
program.

Later this year, there will be a full re-launch ... but China Southern already wants
to share some of the good news with its members now and therefore introduces these
first changes with more to come late this year. So, starting now, China Southern
Airlines’ enhanced Sky Pearl Club experience is focused on three main aspects: award
tickets, mileage accumulation and elite membership upgrades.

The starting point for award tickets or award upgrade as been dramatically lowered
to 10,000 and compared with the previous level of 20,000, the experience of free
travel is even closer than ever.
