Friends who often use credit cards, you should know that your credit card points can be used for discounts. Here is the relevant guide about points. You can read this guide when you go to take a plane. Now Let’s go and see it together.

The world is so big and there are so many airlines, but domestic credit cards are rarely able to accumulate those fun and practical miles for foreign airlines. The only mileage plan that is versatile and affordable is the mileage plan of Hong Kong Cathay Pacific - Asia Miles. Yes, there are many domestic banks where you can accumulate funds.

So our first conclusion is:

When a credit card can accumulate Asia Miles, priority is given to redeeming Asia Miles!

And Asia Miles It is indeed the best choice for traveling in Asia, not to mention that it is also the main mileage for redeeming oneworld global tickets!

Note: Those more well-known foreign airline miles (such as United Airlines, Alaska, British Airways, etc.) Airlines, All Nippon Airways, etc.). In the past, most of them were obtained through Marriott gift packages. However, Marriott’s current policy is unclear and there are few ways to obtain points (except for the pitiful 50,000 SPG per year from China Merchants Bank Centurion). The difficulty and cost of obtaining points have greatly increased. Others There are only a few foreign airline co-branded cards like the Pudong Development Bank JAL Co-branded Card, China Lufthansa Co-branded Card, etc. to choose from, and the redemption ratio is not good! More probably can only be waited for when airlines or hotels do some discount promotions. Stock up some.

After ruling out the feasibility of accumulating foreign airline miles with credit cards, the next thing we want to focus on is: which domestic airline miles should be accumulated with credit card points

It varies from person to person. !The customization method is as follows:

1. Take Shengmingjun as an example. Shengmingjun Base is Hefei. First, Shengmingjun will open the official website of Feichangzhun, in this order: Route Network Map - Query - Hefei Xinqiao International Airport (Below the departure airport option), in this way, all routes from Hefei to all over the world are available (actually there are not many overseas routes, haha);

Note: The route network map of Feichangzhun is really It is very practical. You can check the route status of any airport or airline in the world, and there are many options in the query. You can only check within the country, only outside the country, or only a single company in this city. For airline routes, you can also check which airlines operate to the destination city, etc. You can explore more.

2. After determining which cities can be reached, Shengmingjun will open the Hanglv Zongheng APP and check which airlines are available to a certain place (step 1 is also acceptable), what time, and most importantly Check whether this airline has mileage tickets. The letters shown in the picture below are mileage tickets. Different letters represent different cabin classes;

3. If there are multiple airlines operating between the two places and they are all If there is a mileage ticket (if there is only one airline, you have no choice), Shengmingjun will usually open the APP of each airline to see how many miles are required, and of course choose the one with the least mileage required.

After following this set of procedures, everyone should have learned how to check flights in this city, whether there are mileage tickets and how many miles are required.

You also need to be familiar with the abbreviations of each airline (such as Air China CA, China Southern CZ, China Eastern MU, Hainan Airlines HU, etc.) and the airport codes of various city airports (such as Hefei HFE, Beijing PEK, Shanghai PVG , Shenzhen SZX, etc.), if you can’t remember, just ask on Baidu.

You also need to know the mileage plans of each airline: Air China’s PhoenixMiles (including Shenzhen Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Tibet Airlines, Qantas, etc.), China Eastern Airlines’ Eastern Miles (including Shanghai Airlines, etc.), China Southern Airlines’ Pearl Club (including Sichuan Airlines, etc.), HNA’s Fortune Wings Club (including Capital, Tianjin, Grand China, Beibu Gulf, Xiangpeng, Jinpeng, Fuzhou, Urumqi and other airlines. When HNA’s previous capital operation, there were indeed too many small vests), and Mileage plans of some other airlines.

To give you a chestnut

4. To determine where you want to go, take Shengmingjun as an example:

1) North, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, or the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Tianjin, Beijing and Hebei The large economic circle, plus the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle in the west, these places are where Shengmingjun and most people are likely to go when traveling or working;

2) Personalized destinations: for example Shengmingjun, in addition to going to these mainstream destinations, Shengmingjun also wants to go to Yumenguan and Dunhuang in the desert, to the exotic Xinjiang of Yaxi, and to Sichuan and Tibet to see the holy snow of Kailash. Enjoy the blooming Datura flowers on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, so what is it like to go to these places?

Once you have determined where you want to go, go to Feichangzhun to check the route map and Hanglvzongheng to check the flights. And mileage tickets, go to each airline APP to check the required miles. I think, after this operation, everyone will basically know which airline to accumulate!

After Sheng Mingjun completed the whole process, he found that it was a pity. , my best accumulated airline should be Air China, which is commonly known as "anti-humanity" PhoenixMiles: Sheng Mingjun: Shenzhen Airlines is available in the Pearl River Delta of Shenzhen and Guangzhou, Shandong Airlines and Air China are available in the three northeastern provinces and Beijing, and Air China is available in Chengdu. There is Shandong Airlines to go to Chongqing, and there is Tibet Airlines to go to Tibet. As mentioned earlier, Shenzhen Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Tibet Airlines, and Air Macau are all part of Air China’s PhoenixMiles Mileage Plan. The Air China system has the best coverage for the places Sheng Mingjun wants to go.

Remarks: Why is Phoenix Miles said to be “anti-human”? Because it has an “anti-human” 4-segment policy. Mileage tickets can only be redeemed after completing 4 segments. The minimum cost is almost 2,000 yuan. , if you fly 4 sectors normally, the cost is estimated to be 5,000 or 6,000, which is too abominable.

So, you also need to go through the above process to determine the airline miles you want to accumulate. Supplement

5. Combine with surrounding cities: some routes have no flights from Shengmingjun, or the mileage ticket is tight, or it is not cost-effective. The surrounding Nanjing and Wuhan Shengmingjun are very close by high-speed rail, and the price It’s not high either, so if it’s more appropriate to start from Nanjing or Wuhan, Shengmingjun will also start from these two places. Similarly, friends from Beijing who start from Tianjin and friends from Shanghai who start from Hangzhou may have more and better choices;

Note: The opposite is also true. If the mileage ticket is tight when flying to popular cities such as Beijing or Chengdu, then fly to Tianjin, Mianyang and other cities and then take a high-speed train. Of course, everyone weighs the time and energy themselves.

6. Discover advantageous routes: Look around frequently and find suitable routes based on where you want to go. For example, although Shengmingjun should theoretically accumulate Air China miles, Shengmingjun found that China Southern Airlines from Wuhan to Urumqi costs 15,000 Mileage (Shengmingjun needs 25,000 miles from China Eastern Airlines), 6,000 miles from Hefei to Qingdao from China Eastern Airlines, 6,000 miles from Hainan Airlines to Dalian or Hainan in the off-season, 6,000 miles from Nanjing to Changsha from China Southern Airlines, and 6,000 miles from China Eastern Airlines to Zhengzhou, so Shengmingjun will also accumulate some miles from China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and Hainan Airlines have mileage to go to these places. Other situations

Of course, some people may say: Although I can accumulate a lot of miles, I rarely fly or travel. I just want to sell my miles to make money, so accumulating China Southern Airlines miles is Okay, after all, China Southern Airlines miles are more valuable in the market!

Some people say that the airline tickets are booked with the help of the company, so whichever airline is booked should be accumulated with which airline. When checking in at the airport Tell the waiter your airline membership number and it’s OK!

If you can freely choose which airline to book and can still be reimbursed, then Sheng Mingjun recommends that you give priority to China Eastern Airlines, because if you choose China Eastern Airlines and Marriott As a senior member, you can accumulate Marriott points at a ratio of 4:3 when flying on China Eastern Airlines, and you can get both flight and accommodation.

In fact, many questions cannot be answered in a simple sentence: how to stay in hotels at low prices, how to buy air tickets at low prices, how to accumulate airline miles, etc. These are all connected by a complete set of frequent flyer knowledge. It changes dynamically based on personal circumstances. What you have to do is to be familiar with the entire knowledge system of the machine and wine card, and then make the most suitable choice for you based on your own situation, instead of just asking a question and expecting to get a standard. The answer!
