Redemption Request Reversal is allowed. This
option is available if Members have not
already used (flown) the redemptions
requested. On reversal 500 Miles will be
deducted from the Member accounts for
voluntary cancellations; the balance of the

account. The penalty of 500 Miles will apply
for all tier level Members where the member
has voluntary cancelled the booking.

Members must quote their FFP numbers when making
their reservations or during the check-in process.
After Flight Closure the airlines Departure Control
System (DCS) generates a Frequent Traveller List
(FTL). This FTL message is automatically sent to the
Loyalty Plus Type B Address. This FTL message is
interpreted and the programme rules are applied to
the records that contain valid FFP numbers.
This interface is “real-time” and allows members to
view Miles allocated to them within moments of flight
closure. The member’s booking class is verified by
matching the FTL data received with the PNR data.
PNR data is received daily.
