Gulf Air has partnered with Accor Hotels Group offering its Frequent Flyer Programme (FFP) members an opportunity to earn more miles, when they stay at three of its well-known brands - Sofitel, Novotel and Mercure hotels.
For instance, for every night's stay at a Sofitel hotel, members will get 500 miles to their credit while a night's stay at Novotel or Mercure hotel will earn them 250 miles.
"Gulf Air endeavours constantly to reward its loyal members in every way possible," says Gulf Ai Vice President Marketing and Sales Lee Shave.
"This partnership is one more in the recent string of benefits offered to our FFP members."
Accor is a major player in the global travel, leisure and tourism industry, managing more than 4000 hotels in 92 countries.
Sofitel is the prestige brand of Accor Hotels with nearly 200 properties, reflecting the French "Art de vivre," throughout the world, while Novotel hotels are contemporary and convenient for both leisure and business travellers. The Mercure hotels, with 750 hotels in 47 countries, offer many choices; from two to four stars, in several cities.
"As an airline, which has become synonymous with some of the finest products and services that have won international accolades, Gulf Air, is proud to associate itself with some of leading brands in the world, so that our customers enjoy only the best," concludes Lee Shave.
Gulf Air offers one of the most generous loyalty programmes in the airline business with benefits that include an extended mile life of 10 years, excess baggage allowances, priority check-in, priority baggage handling as well as lounge access, depending on membership level.
