Sky Pearl Club Tier Calculator

Enter the qualifying mileage (定级里程) you have accumulated in the current calendar year to see the distance to each Sky Pearl Club level.

The figures come from China Southern's published ladder. This calculator does not work out what a flight earns; it measures the gap from where you are.

Your distance to each Sky Pearl Club tier

Enter your qualifying mileage (定级里程) to see the distance to each Sky Pearl Club tier.

Sky Pearl Club status tiers

One calendar year (自然年): qualifying mileage or qualifying segments accumulated within a calendar year decide the level. The level is valid until the last day of February of the third year from the assessment date.

Each threshold can also be met with qualifying segments (定级航段) instead of qualifying mileage: 20 for Silver, 40 for Gold and 80 for Platinum. China Southern lists the two as alternatives (二选一, "choose one of two"), so either is enough. This calculator measures qualifying mileage only. Award miles (奖励里程) do not count towards a level. Gold and Platinum members whose qualifying mileage or segments exceed the level they were awarded can count the surplus towards the next calendar year only. China Southern publishes no separate figures for keeping a level. A trial running to 31 December 2027 applies percentage discounts (折) to the thresholds for members who keep their current level or a lower one, with a bigger discount for each consecutive year at the level: for Silver 9折, 8.5折 and 8折 in years one, two and three; for Gold 8.5折, 8折 and 7.5折; for Platinum 8折, 7.5折 and 7折. We have not turned these into reduced mileage figures because China Southern does not publish any. The terms do not say whether the discount applies to members who first qualify from 2025, so check your own account before relying on it.

Frequently asked questions

Which mileage should I enter?
Those accumulated in the current calendar year, because Sky Pearl Club assesses levels over one calendar year. Award miles (奖励里程) do not count, so leave them out. If you are Gold or Platinum, surplus from the previous year may also count; check your account.
Can I use qualifying segments instead?
China Southern accepts qualifying segments (定级航段) as an alternative to qualifying mileage: 20 for Silver, 40 for Gold and 80 for Platinum. This calculator measures qualifying mileage only, so count your segments separately if that route suits you better.
