  • Loyalty Programs: the Vital Safety Feature for Airlines to Survive COVID-19
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/2516-8142.htm Airline loyalty Loyalty programs: the vital programs safety feature for airlines to survive COVID-19 Manuel E. Pascual Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism, Florida International University, Miami, Florida, USA, and Received 9 March 2021 Revised 13 April 2021 Lisa Nicole Cain Accepted 14 April 2021 Hospitality and Tourism Management, Florida International University Biscayne Bay Campus, North Miami, Florida, USA Abstract Purpose – The airline industry has been severely impacted by COVID-19 due to widespread travel restrictions. Its current response is crucial to ensure continued operations after the global pandemic is resolved. One resource the airlines are leveraging is loyalty programs. This study aims to examine the viability of leveraging loyalty programs in times of crisis. Design/methodology/approach – This study employs a case study methodology to examine how one company, American Airlines, has used its loyalty program to survive a pandemic and alleviate the financial costs associated with limited and restricted travel. Findings – American Airlines’ AAdvantage loyalty program structure may be used as a benchmark to understand how airlines can anchor their loyalty base to reinvigorate travel interest and use these programs as safeguards in critical instances that may arise in the future. Research limitations/implications – The case was bound by the fact that the pandemic was still a threat during the time of analysis. The findings of this case study go beyond the airline industry and may inform other hospitality and tourism organizations on the benefits of loyalty programs in times of financial distress.

  • Ideaworks Announces Client Relationships in the Travel and Cons
    Contact: Jay Sorensen For inquiries: 414-961-1939 Jay @ IdeaworksCompany.com Southwest, JetBlue Lead Average Reward Price Rankings Among Five Major US Frequent Flyer Programs Switchfly Reward Seat Availability Survey finds that pay-with-points change still yields similar reward price rankings. August 22, 2016, Shorewood, Wisconsin ─ Low-cost carriers Southwest and JetBlue continue to offer US flyers the lowest average reward seat pricing, despite an industry shift to dollar-based rather than mileage-based loyalty points accrual. The rankings for the two airlines mirror the results from 2015—and from the year before, when miles flown was the universal accrual method. These findings derive from the IdeaWorksCompany annual Switchfly Reward Seat Availability Survey. In May the firm released reward seat availability rankings for 25 of the world’s largest airlines. Today's analysis features average reward prices associated with US frequent flyer programs that use ticket prices, rather than miles flown, as an accrual method. Among these programs, the pay-with-points method used by Southwest and JetBlue yielded lower prices for short and medium haul reward travel. Until recently, American, Delta, and United based accrual on the distance flown—like most major airlines around the world. Now this is changing to a revenue-based method similar to JetBlue and Southwest. Among low economy fare passengers, who don’t have elite tier status, JetBlue's TrueBlue and Southwest's Rapid Rewards programs offer higher accrual at 6 points per dollar compared to the rate of 5 miles per dollar offered by the others. This is combined with lower average reward prices, Southwest being the lowest at 10,182 points per roundtrip reward.

  • Accounting for Airline Frequent Flyer Programs: Management Incentives and Financial Reporting Impacts
    ACCOUNTING FOR AIRLINE FREQUENT FLYER PROGRAMS: MANAGEMENT INCENTIVES AND FINANCIAL REPORTING IMPACTS May 2012 Brian J. Franklin, BBA Accounting ‘12, College of Business and Public Policy, University of Alaska Anchorage, 3211 Providence Drive, Anchorage, AK 99508, 907-268-4233 Ext. 401, [email protected] ABSTRACT The obligation to provide free or reduced-fare travel to passengers who redeem their accrued frequent flyer program (FFP) benefits represents a significant liability on every major U.S. airline’s balance sheet. Major U.S. airlines employ one of two methods to account for the liabilities they incur when issuing mileage credits to traveling passengers. The Deferred Revenue Method recognizes a liability for the fair value of the outstanding mileage credits (with “fair value” defined under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as “the amount for which the award credits could be sold separately”). The Incremental Cost Method recognizes a liability for the marginal cost of providing air transportation to eligible award passengers (i.e. the cost of taxes, fuel, food, etc. to fly one additional passenger on a seat that otherwise would have been empty—generally a nominal amount). Incremental cost accounting for FFPs has been subject to increasing scrutiny over time. In the last several years airlines have reduced seating capacity due to high fuel prices and weak demand during the global economic recession, which has caused flights to be fuller and has increased the chance that, for any given seat, a passenger flying on redeemed frequent flyer miles could displace a fare-paying passenger. The Incremental Cost Method does not account for the opportunity cost (i.e.
