Mileage Run Initiative

A Mileage Run Initiative is a strategy employed by frequent travelers or airline enthusiasts to maximize airline rewards and status by flying mainly for the purpose of earning frequent flyer miles and elite benefits. Participants plan trips that often involve multiple flights or discounted fares to accumulate miles quickly, aiming to reach or maintain loyalty program tiers. While these trips may not be for leisure or business, they are financially motivated, balancing travel costs against the benefits gained, such as upgraded services or priority privileges, making it an efficient way for frequent travelers to enhance their airline loyalty status.
