Start collecting miles now with Cathay Pacific and LAN

airberlin guests can collect topbonus miles on all flights with oneworld® members Cathay Pacific and LAN. With immediate effect, the Asia Miles/Marco Polo Club and LANPASS frequent flyer programs are operating in partnership with topbonus, airberlin’s frequent flyer program. As a result, topbonus members are able to collect award miles and reserve award flights across Cathay Pacific’s and LAN’s networks. Asia Miles/Marco Polo Club and LANPASS members can also collect and redeem miles on airberlin and NIKI flights.

In order to collect miles, topbonus members only need to provide their topbonus number when booking, or present their topbonus card at the check-in desk. Miles collected on a Cathay Pacific or LAN flight are

automatically credited to their topbonus mileage account.

Currently more than 2.8 million guests are participating in the topbonus program and taking advantage of exclusive oneworld partner benefits such as hotels, rental cars, insurance, or magazines. The oneworld membership planned for 20th March 2012 will make the topbonus frequent flyer program even more appealing. More information about airberlin's frequent flyer program is available online at airberlin.com/topbonus.
