Royal Skies
Royal Skies is the loyalty programme of Royal Brunei Airlines. Launched in May 2003,[53] members will earn actual miles on every eligible Royal Brunei Airlines’ flight or by utilising the products and/or services of Royal Skies Partners.[54]
Membership is divided into three tiers:[55]
Blue (Base membership)
Silver (Silver membership – Elite)
Gold (Gold membership – Elite)
Royal Skies membership does not expire as long as there is at least one activity recorded in the member’s account within a period of three years.
The Blue card does not carry any expiry date, however, Silver and Gold cards will have an expiry date that shows the end of the benefits period. Silver and Gold members must re-qualify for the Elite tier to continue receiving Elite Status benefits. With the expiration of Elite status benefits, the member will use their Blue card to start earning tier-qualifying miles again. However, the total miles that the member has accumulated so far will not expire.[55]
Miles accrued by Royal Skies members can be redeemed for free flights or seat upgrades. A free upgrade award starts from 5,000 Royal Skies miles, while redemption for a free flight starts from 15,000 miles.[56]
