more Rewards and delights to match your Membership status.
Please remember to make your reservation as per the name registered with FlySmiLes

Yours sincerely
The FlySmiLes Programme of SriLankan Airlines is designed to give loyal customers like
you access to a world of exclusive benefits and privileges, so that your travel will be
more rewarding and delightful.
The Baggage Bonus Programme has two Membership Categories - Baggage Plus and
Baggage Premier.
Each Membership Category offers exclusive privileges. So the higher your Membership
status is, the more privileges you would be able to enjoy.
The FlySmiLes Programme uses different types of Miles for different reasons.
FlySmiLes Miles
FlySmiLes Miles are your Reward currency and are earned every time you fly with
SriLankan and our partners.
FlySmiles Miles will expire after a period of three years.
Tier Miles
Tier miles are used to determine your Membership Category in the programme and are
earned every time you fly with SriLankan.
While your Redemption Miles can be redeemed for Rewards, Tier Miles help you to
progress through the membership tiers to Silver and Gold. Tier Miles are earned,
whenever you fly with SriLankan, at a rate of 1 tier mile per mile flown in Economy
Class, 50% more tier miles per mile flown in Business Class.
Tier miles are accumulated from the date of enrolment for a period of twelve months, at
which time your tier miles account is reset to zero..
Your tier status will be valid for 13 months from the date the Tier change has been
effected.
For example, if you earn FlySmiles Silver status in June 2010, you will remain in this tier
until July 2011. For complete details on the benefits and privileges of Silver and Gold
membership, please see the 'Silver membership privileges' and 'Gold membership
privileges' section in this guide.
The following chart illustrates the tier miles and sectors required to qualify and maintain
FlySmiles Silver and Gold membership.
Qualify / Retain
FlySmiles Silver 25,000 Tier miles or 20 Sectors * 20,000 Tier miles or 15 Sectors *
FlySmiles Gold 50,000 Tier miles or 40 Sectors * 40,000 Tier miles or 30 Sectors *
* A sector is any part of a flight for which a separate flight coupon has been issued. For
instance, a direct flight from London to Colombo on SriLankan would be one sector,
while a flight from London to Chennai via Colombo would be two sectors.

purchase of the goods and/or services selected by the Member. The Member
must read the terms and conditions and also check with the Service Partner prior
to selecting the goods and/or services. By accepting the Service Partner's offer,

not equal to the previous Reward ticket. The reissued ticket must have the same
expiry date as the original ticket and it must be for the same airline. However, if

FlySmiLes Miles by Class of Travel
Business Class 50% Bonus 1.5 FlySmiLes Mile per actual Mile
However, if Miles earned during a calendar year are less than 10,000, then the
respective Miles that you have earned in that particular year will expire, if unutilised
within three years. The expiry of Miles would occur on 30th June every year.
Tier Miles
Tier Miles are used to determine your Membership Category in the programme and are
earned every time you fly with SriLankan.
While your FlySmiLes Miles can be redeemed for Rewards, Tier Miles help you to
progress through the Membership Categories to Silver and Gold. They are earned on an
annual basis whenever you fly with SriLankan, at a rate of one Tier Mile per Mile flown
in Economy Class and 50% more Tier Miles per Mile flown in Business Class.
To ensure that you receive your Miles, always remember to quote your FlySmiLes
Membership number when making reservations and present your card at check-in.
In order for the Miles to be credited, the full name on your reservation must match the
full name on your card.
We believe that, the more you fly, the more Rewards you should enjoy. So, the higher
your FlySmiLes Membership Tier, the more FlySmiLes Miles you actually earn. When
travelling on SriLankan, in addition to Miles earned, FlySmiLes Silver Members can earn
an additional 25% FlySmiLes Miles bonus based on the Miles flown, while FlySmiLes
Gold Members earn an additional 50% bonus.
For a full listing of Miles you earn on SriLankan please refer page 03.
* Please note that on code share flights, Tier Miles and / or FlySmiles Miles will be
given on flights that carry a SriLankan flight number. A code share flight is one where an
airline sells tickets under its name for flights operated by a partner carrier.
** SriLankan and some partner airlines offer a minimum of 500 FlySmiles Miles for
single sector distances of less than 500 Miles.
FlySmiles Gold 50,000 Tier miles or 40 Sectors * 40,000 Tier miles or 30 Sectors *
Your tier status will be valid for the rest of the calendar year, in which it is earned,
plus an additional 15 months.
For example, if you earn FlySmiles Silver status in June 2008, you will remain in this tier
until March 2010. For complete details on the benefits and privileges of Silver and Gold
membership, please see the 'Silver membership privileges' and 'Gold membership
privileges' section in this guide.

instance, a direct flight from London to Colombo on SriLankan would be one sector,
while a flight from London to Chennai via Colombo would be two sectors.

currency equivalent and must be payable by the Member (or passenger as the
case may be) at the time of ticketing.

was not issued. Additional Miles may be charged for such transaction. If the new
journey requires fewer Miles, the excess Miles will be refunded. The Reward
ticket at the point of reissue must still be valid. There will be a reissue fee for
each ticket, if the number of Miles required for such subsequent Reward ticket is
not equal to the previous Reward ticket. The reissued ticket must have the same
expiry date as the original ticket and it must be for the same airline. However, if
