Where should you credit this flight?

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.

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.

Only what you type into “Programmes you belong to”: the tier you hold and your status credits so far this qualifying year, in each programme you add. They stay in your browser and are never sent to us. Each programme is placed by how close it would be to its next tier after this trip, as a share of that tier's threshold. That starts from where you are, so it is not a Lark Score, which always starts from zero.

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.

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.

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. Where a programme earns nothing the comparison says so and says which case it is — a published zero, a rate we hold for these airlines but not for the booking class you entered, or a carrier pair we have not captured at all. Always confirm crediting rules with the programme before you fly.
