Royal Brunei Airlines has announced the launch of a new partnership that enables Royal Skies members to spend their Heathrow Rewards points on frequent flyer miles.

The Heathrow Rewards’ loyalty programme allows customers to collect points each time they make a purchase at the airport on products and services such as parking, currency exchange, shopping, eating and drinking.

The new partnership means Royal Brunei Airlines’ Royal Skies Elite silver and gold members will be able to instantly upgrade to Heathrow Rewards premium tier status, benefiting from double points for every pound spent at the airport.

They will also have the option to convert their Heathrow Rewards points into Royal Skies miles.

This strategic partnership is the latest in a number of benefits Royal Brunei Airlines has added to its Royal Skies programme which will be running for the next three years, ending in October 2020.

Members can redeem their miles through Royal Brunei Airlines’ free flight award, flight upgrade award, baggage allowance and Sky Lounge access at Brunei International Airport.

Adiel Mambara, Royal Brunei Airlines country manager for the UK & Ireland, said: “We are continuously looking for ways to improve our customer service and reward loyal RB guests who frequently travel with us.

“Royal Brunei Airlines operates daily flights from London Heathrow, which is a major hub for all travelling customers across the country.

“We are happy to introduce this new partnership so that our Royal Brunei Airlines guests can enjoy more benefits from the products and services they buy at Heathrow airport.”

Royal Brunei Airlines guests can join Heathrow Rewards using the code RBAA017.

If they spend over £130 or more on their first visit, an extra 2,000 points are on offer before the end of December.
