Where should you credit this flight?

Enter your itinerary — no programme needed — and see every frequent flyer programme it could credit to, ranked by Lark Score: how far the flights take you toward lounge-access status, as a percentage of each programme’s own requirement. Raw Tier Points, XP and Status Credits can’t be compared directly — the score can.

Frequently asked questions

What does this tool do?

Enter the flights you have booked (or are considering) and it compares every frequent flyer programme those flights could be credited to — showing what each would earn in its own status currency, ranked by how far the itinerary takes you toward airline lounge-access status.

What is the Lark Score?

A normalised percentage: the status credits your flights earn divided by the credits a brand-new member needs, from zero, to reach the tier that grants alliance-wide lounge access (Oneworld Sapphire, SkyTeam Elite Plus or Star Alliance Gold). Because it is a percentage of each programme's own requirement, it lets you compare programmes whose raw currencies — Tier Points, XP, Status Credits — are otherwise incomparable.

Why do some programmes show no score?

Where a programme's tier thresholds are unconfirmed or not comparable (for example thresholds published in kilometres, or programmes being restructured), we show the programme with an honest explanation instead of inventing a score.

Why am I asked for a sector fare on some flights?

Some programmes — including The British Airways Club, Iberia Club, AAdvantage, Finnair Plus, Delta SkyMiles, United MileagePlus and Aeroplan — earn status credits from the fare you pay rather than the distance you fly. The fare field only appears when at least one comparable programme needs it for that flight; if no programme does, you are never asked.

Can I really credit a flight to any of these programmes?

A flight can normally be credited to the operating airline's own programme or a partner programme in the same alliance, subject to the fare's earning eligibility. The comparison shows an honest zero where a programme has no earning rule for your carrier. Always confirm crediting rules with the programme before you fly.
