Many airlines have frequent-flyer programs designed to encourage airline customers enrolled in the program to accumulate points (also called miles, kilometers or segments) which may then be redeemed for air travel or other rewards. Points earned under FFPs may be based on the class of fare, distance flown on that airline or its partners, or the amount paid. There are other ways to earn points. For example, in recent years, more points have been earned by using co-branded credit and debit cards than by air travel. Another way to earn points is spending money at associated retail outlets, car hire companies, hotels or other associated businesses. Points can be redeemed for air travel, other goods or services, or for increased benefits, such as travel class upgrades, airport lounge access, or priority bookings. Frequent-flyer programs can be seen as a certain type of virtual currency, one with unidirectional flow of money to purchase points, but no exchange back into money. * accumulate points 累計(飛行里程)點數 * redeemed for 贖回；兌換 ------------------------------- Frequent Flyer Program, 飛行常客獎勵計劃(常客飛行計畫) 飛行常客獎勵計劃(Frequent Flyer Program,FFP)是許多航空公司給忠實乘客的一種獎勵方案，普遍的形式是：乘客們通過這個計劃累計自己的飛行里程，並使用這些里程來兌換免費的機票、商品和服務以及其他類似貴賓休息室或艙位升等之類的特權。
