What is the term for a program that rewards travelers for flying with a specific airline?

• A. Loyalty program
• B. Frequent-flyer plan
• C. Mileage program
• D. Frequent flyer program

Answer: (B)

A program that rewards travelers for flying with a specific airline is called a frequent flyer program. This term is the standard label used across the industry to describe how passengers earn miles or points for each flight and can later redeem them for free tickets, upgrades, or other perks, often with escalating benefits as you fly more. While you might hear alternatives like mileage program or see phrases such as frequent-flyer plan, the formal, widely adopted name is the frequent flyer program. Loyalty program is a broader idea that airlines use for many kinds of rewards, but for the specific airline-focused rewards on flights, the frequent flyer program is the precise term.
