Loyalty should be rewarded, and the best frequent-flyer programs do just that—offering travelers not only miles but also exclusive perks, priority services, and unforgettable experiences. At the 18th DestinAsian Readers’ Choice Awards, our readers selected the most rewarding airline loyalty programs that go beyond just earning and redeeming miles.
Topping the list, Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer continues to impress with its extensive redemption options and seamless integration with fellow Star Alliance partners. Asia Miles, by Cathay Pacific, garnered the second-highest number of votes, with readers appreciating the versatile rewards system that extends to hotels, dining, and lifestyle benefits.
Emirates Skywards, in third place, stands out for its tier-based privileges and access to premium lounges, while GarudaMiles and Royal Orchid Plus by Thai Airways have secured their spots with generous mileage accruals and exclusive travel perks. Other standout programs include Enrich by Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways’ Privilege Club, Qantas Frequent Flyer, British Airways’ Executive Club, and Flying Blue from Air France and KLM, all recognized for delivering outstanding value to loyal customers.
Whether it’s upgrades, lounge access, or elite privileges, these programs turn loyalty into tangible rewards, making every journey even more worthwhile.
