WSJ Your Money Briefing · Airlines Sweeten Frequent-Flyer Deals to Lure Travelers · 15 Oct 2020
podcast
All the traditional perks that you get from a loyalty program, waivers of check bag fees, early boarding, extra legroom seats, upgrades, things like that, nobody really cares about that now.
voice-verified
So how do you keep the programs relevant?
voice-verified
Offering really good deals with miles is one way for airlines to say, hey, we know you're not traveling much right now.
voice-verified
We know the frequent flyer program may not be that important to you, but here is good value.

Yeah, this survey looked at the best case scenario, but also their busiest routes.
voice-verified
And this was just domestic.
voice-verified
And for United, it had the lowest average, 12,833 miles round trip.
voice-verified
That was actually almost half of what United was charging in a survey last year.
voice-verified
Different travel time periods, but comparable in many ways.

This survey looked at November, which is a relatively slow month, but also has some of the busiest travel days of the year over Thanksgiving.
voice-verified

voice-verified
American was the highest, but it was only 21,800 miles round trip.
voice-verified
So still very low.
voice-verified
And the huge savings, I thought, came in first class.
voice-verified
American had average first class tickets in their top markets of only 42,500 miles.
voice-verified
That's what we used to pay for coach.
voice-verified
basically.
