Frequent flier milage system is the best tool for any airlines to win the loyalty of passengers.Passengers are also equally benefited by this programme.More innovations must be brought out to keep it better

remember that mileage programs are both an asset (in marketing and loyalty terms) and a liability (when the " is redeemed). In good times, an airline's loyalty program rewards faithful customers and keeps vested members loyal. But in financially insecure times, the reward is nothing more than a non-revenue producing seat. Still, with a great deal of work frequent flier points can be used to your advantage.

For the business travelers who happen to earn miles on their way to achieving elite status, it's a different story. Remaining loyal to an airline earns you elite status that translates into better service, less rigid rules, the chance for first-class upgrades and a comfortable area to wait in the airport. All of the necessary benefits to a road warrior who spends a major portion of the business week in airports and planes.

There should be no efforts.
Air travelers are not supposed to fly any specific airline company just for the sake of accumulating mileage. It makes a lot of sense for the traveler to fly with the airline company offering the mileage program IF it has an equal (or better) offer compared with other competitors.

The commercials make the endeavor seem so enticing: Use your credit card and within a short period of time you can earn that summer vacation to Paris.

For some, the vision becomes a reality.

For most, that summer vacation is simply a mirage. Blackout dates, airport restrictions, seat restrictions and more turn your summer vacation to Paris into a quick early fall junket to an airport near Paris, and by the way -- middle seat.

I also agree to Nirmal, It will work in India. India is changing and so its people and their trends. Now when we are accepting all new trends then why not this. People would love to have a health treatment or stress free massage on a holiday.
Apart from the above discussed ideas related to frontline management, backend processes can also help in improving the efficiency. Efficiency is nothing but the ratio of output by input, therefore, if you we reduce the generetion of waste it will...
I do agree with Sushil, more organised the management is, the service will be much better. They will be sure with what work is to be done by whom and hence processes would be carried out smoothly.
