Nokuba kwenzeka njani uhlala ehamba nguwe, amathuba okuba unayo amaphiko asikiweyo ngubhubhane we-COVID-19. Kodwa ngenxa yokuba awufumani okanye awusebenzisi iimayile zenqwelo moya kwiinqwelomoya ngoku akuthethi ukuba awuzukuphinda ubuye esibhakabhakeni kwixa elizayo. Okwangoku, unako qhubeka uqokelela umvuzo ngokusebenzisa ikhadi lamatyala lenqwelo moya ekuthengeni yonke imihla, ukuthenga kwiinqwelomoya ezahlukeneyo & apos; ii-portal ezikwi-Intanethi, kunye neminye imisebenzi. Xa wena & apos; ulungele ukukhwela kwakhona, nazi iimpazamo ezili-12 eziqhelekileyo ukunqanda xa uhlawulela iikhilomitha zeenqwelo moya.

1.Akuhlanguli iiMayile ngaphambi kokuba ziphelelwe lixesha

Ngenxa yobhubhane we-coronavirus, uninzi lweenqwelo moya Ukuphelelwa kwemayile kumisiwe ka-2020 no-2021. Bangayibuyisela kunyaka olandelayo, nangona kunjalo, kubalulekile ke ukuba ujonge imihla yokuphelelwa kwayo kwiiakhawunti zakho zemayile ngoku. Delta , JetBlue, kumzantsi-ntshona, nakwiimayile zaseUnited sukuphelelwa kukonke. I-Air Canada iAeroplan, iAmerican Airlines, kunye neHawaii Airlines ziyanyamalala emva kweenyanga ezili-18 ngaphandle kwemisebenzi efanelekileyo, ngelixa Iilwandle zeAlaska iikhilomitha yiya poof emva kweenyanga ezingama-24 zokungasebenzi. Sukungxamela ukukhwela inqwelomoya, nangona kunjalo. Ngokwesiqhelo, unokuseta kwakhona iwotshi yokuphela ngokufumana okanye ukuhlangula imayile enye. Oko kubandakanya ukwenza ukuthenga ngekhadi lekhredithi enxulumene nenqwelomoya, ukuthenga kwiinqwelomoya kunye neapos; izibuko ezikwi-Intanethi, okanye ukuhambisa nje inyanda encinci yeemayile kwelinye ilungu leakhawunti. Zininzi iindlela zokugcina iimayile zakho xa ufuna ukuzikhulula.

2. Ukungakhangeli kwindawo efanelekileyo

Enye yezinto eyenza ukufumana amatikiti amabhaso kube nzima kakhulu kukuba ayizizo zonke iiwebhusayithi zeenqwelomoya ezibonisa inani elifanayo lokufumaneka, ngakumbi kwiinqwelomoya zeqabane. 'Ndihlala ndixelela abantu ukuba baqale ngokucinga ngemanyano yenqwelomoya, utshilo uSpencer Howard, umseki wewebhusayithi yokuhamba Ngqo kwiiNqaku . ' Umanyene ilunge kakhulu ngokukhangela indawo yokuwonga i-Star Alliance, utshilo. 'Qalisa ukukhangela apho, emva koko usebenzise enye ngeAiroplan yeAir Canada ukuqinisekisa ubukho. IDelta.com inokusetyenziselwa ukufumana amabhaso eSkyTeam. ' Oku kubandakanya iinqwelomoya kwiAir France, KLM, Korea, kunye nabanye.

Ukuthatha omnye umzekelo, iAlaska Airlines ngamaqabane neCathay Pacific. Nangona kunjalo, indawo yokuphatha yase-U.S & apos ayikuvumeli ukuba ukhangele okanye ubhukishe izihlalo zebhaso likaCathay. Endaweni yoko, unokufuna ukusebenzisa indawo yeBritish Airways - elinye iqabane leenqwelo moya leOneworld - kukhangelo lwakho, emva koko ubhukishe ibhaso lakho kwifowuni neAlaska.

3.Angatsiba kwiiNtengiso zeXeshana

Uninzi lweenqwelo moya zazihlala zineetshathi zamabhaso ngamaxabiso amiselweyo eenqwelo moya. Umzekelo, itikiti loqoqosho lwasekhaya liya kuba ziimayile ezingama-25,000 ukuya nokubuya, ngelixa isihlalo seshishini esivela e-US siye eYurophu siya kuba ziimayile ezingama-100,000 Ngoku, nangona kunjalo, uninzi lutshintshele kwinkqubo esekwe kwingeniso ethi ibophelele ngokusondeleyo kwinani leemayile ezifunekayo kubhatalo lwendiza oluhlawulelweyo kwiindlela ezithile. Ngelixa oko kuthetha ukuba amanye amabhaso anyukile ngexabiso, amanye ehle ngokukhawuleza.

Ngapha koko, kuye kwakho amabhaso amangalisayo asebenza mva nje, kubandakanya iinqwelomoya ezimfutshane zeDelta ezisuka nje kwi-2,000 yeekhilomitha ukuya, kunye neenqwelomoya ze-United ukusuka kwi-3,000 yeekhilomitha ukuya. Ukuba ubona isivumelwano esinje, kwaye sihambelana nemihla yakho yokuhamba kunye neendawo oya kuzo, sukuthandabuza, kuba ezi bargains zihlala zinyamalala ngokukhawuleza.

Ukulinda ixesha elide kakhulu ukuba ubhukishe

Kumaxabiso aqhelekileyo, amabhaso eenqwelo moya anokukhohlisa ukuwacofa. 'Nje ukuba ufumene indawo yebhaso, andikukhuthazi ukulinda ixesha elide kakhulu ukuba ubhukishe,' ucebisa uHoward. 'I & apos; sinabathengi abaninzi kakhulu kwaye abafundi balinda iintsuku ezimbalwa kuphela ukufumana izihlalo zamabhaso zingasekho.' Ukuba ufumana itikiti elingana nemihla kunye neendawo oya kuzo, uthi, qhubeka ucofe elo qhosha lencwadi. Ngaphandle koko, izicwangciso zakho zihlala phezulu emoyeni.

5. Ukungabi bhetyebhetye kwiMihla

Nangona amatikiti amabhaso ebaninzi ngalo mzuzu, ngakumbi kwiinqwelomoya ezimfutshane, ukubhukisha amatikiti okuhamba ixesha elide kwiikhabhathi zeprimiyamu kunokuba yinto entle ngexesha elifanelekileyo. Ukuba bhetyebhetye kubalulekile. Ukuba utshixiwe ekuhambeni ngeentsuku ezithile, kunokuba nzima ukufumana indawo yebhaso kwezona khabhathi zodidi lokuqala. Ukuvuleleka kwimihla eyahlukeneyo yokuhamba kungenza umahluko, utshilo uHoward.

6. Ukuhlangula iimayile ezininzi kakhulu

Xa ukhangela amatikiti amabhaso kwiwebhusayithi yenqwelo moya, wena & apos; nakanjani niya kudideka luluhlu lwamaxabiso eemayile zokuhamba ngenqwelomoya okufanayo kwiintsuku ezahlukeneyo nakwiindidi zenkonzo. Kungenxa yokuba iinqwelomoya ziye zaba nobuchule obugqithisileyo kumaxabiso ahlengahlengisayo, uhlengahlengiso kumanqanaba e-mileage ngokusekwe kwizinto ezinje ngemfuno yokukhangela, ukuhla kwenqwelomoya, kunye nokunye. Ngaphambi kokufaka imali kwiimayile zakho, cinga ngolu luhlu lokutshekisha. Okokuqala, ukuba inqwelo moya yakho isapapasha iitshathi zamabhaso, njengeAmerican Airlines, sebenzisa amabhaso 'okugcina' njengebhentshi lakho kubungakanani bemali ekufuneka uchithe. Ukuba i-airline yakho ayisabonisi iitshathi zamabhaso, njenge-Delta kunye ne-United, yenza uphando ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo kunye ne-apos, unomdla wokubhabha, ukufaka imihla kwiinyanga ezininzi, kwaye ujonge uluhlu lwamaxabiso e-mileage. Nika isiphelo esisezantsi sebala xa ekugqibeleni ubhukisha into.

7. Sebenzisa uhlobo olubi lweemayile kunye nokuhlawula ngaphezulu

Enye indlela yokuchitha ngaphezulu kumatikiti amabhaso kukungaqwalaseli zonke iintlobo zeemayile okanye amanqaku onokuwasebenzisa kwitikiti elinye. Kule mihla, iinqwelomoya zinamaqabane amaninzi-zombini ezinye izithuthi kunye nabanikezeli bamakhadi etyala- kwaye ngokucinga malunga nokuba uWoward ubiza njani 'ngamathuba okugweba,' ungasebenzisa imali yemayile ekufumana eyona mbuyekezo.

Umzekelo awunikezelayo kukubhukisha itikiti elinye lokufumana ibhaso lendlela ukusuka eU.S ukuya eYurophu eLufthansa. Oko kungabiza iimayile ezingama-77,000 ze-United MileagePlus, kodwa ziimayile ezingama-70,000 zeAiroplan zeAeroplan, okanye iimayile ezingama-45,000 zaseTurkey zeMayile kunye neeMiles. Ngaba awunayo imayile yeTurkey? Ngokwenyani unokuba unazo ngaphandle kokuyiqonda, kuba uCiti Enkosi Imivuzo- uhlobo lwamanqaku owafumanayo ngeCiti Prestige kunye neNkulumbuso yaseCiti, phakathi kwamanye amakhadi etyala-ukudlulisela kwinkqubo. Ngokuqinisekileyo, kuthatha amanyathelo ongezelelweyo ukuguqula amanqaku akho emva koko ubhukishe ngeenqwelo moya zaseTurkey, kodwa kufanelekile ukonga iimayile ezingama-32,000.

Ukuthatha omnye umzekelo obalaseleyo, masithi ufuna ukubhabha usuka eLos Angeles uye eSydney kwiklasi yeshishini eQantas. I-American Airlines AAdvantage iya kuhlawulisa iikhilomitha ezingama-80,000 kwicala ngalinye, kodwa iAlaska Airlines (elinye iqabane) liya kuhlawulisa iikhilomitha ezingama-55,000 kuphela - isivumelwano esingcono kakhulu ukuba uneemayile ezaneleyo ngeenkqubo zombini zokuthatha isigqibo phakathi kwabo.

8. UkuGqithisela amanqaku ekhadi letyala Kamsinya okanye emva kwexesha kakhulu

Iinkqubo ezininzi zemivuzo yamakhadi etyala, kubandakanya iMivuzo yoBulungu baseMelika, iMivuzo yeNkulumbuso yokuQala, ukuKhangela iMivuzo ePhambili, kunye neCiti Enkosi Imivuzo, ikuvumela ukuba udlulisele amanqaku kwiinkqubo zenqwelomoya. Amanqaku e-Amex, umzekelo, adlulisele kwi-Delta SkyMiles, Air Canada Aeroplan, kunye nabanye abali-16. Chase amanqaku amabhaso okugqibela anokuguqulwa abe ziimayile zeenqwelomoya ezili-10, kubandakanya iUnited, Umzantsi-ntshona , kunye IJetBlue .

Phambi kokuba udlulise amanqaku ekhadi letyala kwi-airline, ndincoma ngokuqinileyo ukuba kukho indawo yokuwonga, kuba xa usenzile, akukho kubuya mva, utshilo uHoward. Awunakho ukuguqula ezo mayile zibuyele kumanqaku ekhadi letyala, ukuba ekugqibeleni ugqibe ekubeni ungabhukisi.

Ukongeza, khumbula ukuba ayilulo lonke ugqithiso olwenzeka ngoko nangoko, ulumkisa. 'Inokuba yinto ebalulekileyo ekufuneka ithathelwe ingqalelo leyo, kuba indawo oyifumeneyo inokuthi inyamalale ukuba amanqaku akho adlulisiweyo athatha iintsuku ezininzi.'

9.Ukusebenzisa iiMayile zeenqwelo moya endaweni yamanqaku ekhadi letyala

Ukuthetha ngokusebenzisa amanqaku ekhadi letyala, ukongeza ekudluliseleni kumaqabane eenqwelomoya, iAmex, iCapital One, iChase, kunye neendawo zeCiti zonke zinokuhlawulelwa ngokuthe ngqo kwiinqwelomoya ngamaxabiso amiselweyo ngeendawo zabo zokuhamba. Amanqaku eMivuzo yobulungu baseMelika axabisa isenti enye kwiinqwelomoya ezibhukishwe ngeAmex Travel; Citi Enkosi Imivuzo amanqaku axabisa isenti nganye kwiinqwelomoya ezibhukishwe nge-port yaseCiti; kwaye I-capital One Venture yeemayile ixabisa isenti yenqwelo moya ebhukishwe kwi-Capital One (nangona unokukhulula iimayile zakho ngaphakathi kweentsuku ezingama-90 zesitetimenti sokuthenga ngokuthenga okwenziwe kwenye indawo ngeqondo elifanayo). Ukuba unekhadi elichongiweyo leChase Sapphire, amanqaku akho axabisa iisenti eziyi-1.25 enye, okanye iisenti eziyi-1.5 kunye noChase Sapphire Reserve xa uzisebenzisela ukuhamba kubhukisha ngeChase.

Ke, ukuba unazo ezi ntlobo zamanqaku kwaye ucinga ukuwasebenzisela ukubhukisha uhambo ngokuthe ngqo, okanye ukuwadlulisela kwiqabane lendiza, wena kunye neapos kuya kufuneka wenze izibalo ezincinci ukunyusa ixabiso.

Okokuqala, khangela iinqwelomoya ozifunayo kwaye ujonge ukuba zingakanani iindleko zomoya ohlawulelweyo xa kuthelekiswa nokuhlawulelwa kwemayile. Yahlula ixabiso lemali ngenani leemayile ezifunekayo, kwaye uya kufumana ixabiso lakho leemayile nganye. Ukuba elo xabiso lisezantsi kunoko ufumana & apos; ngokumane uhlawule amanqaku ekhadi lakho letyala ngenqwelomoya efanayo (okt wena & apos; ukufumana ngaphantsi kwesenti ngemayile kwaye unokusebenzisa iAmex, iCapital One, okanye amanqaku eCiti endaweni yoko, okanye wena & apos; Ukufumana ngaphantsi kwe-1.25 ukuya kwi-1.5 yeesenti ngemayile xa unokusebenzisa amanqaku eChase), kungangcono ke ukuba ubhukishe itikiti lakho ngokuthe ngqo kwi-portal yekhadi lakho letyala.

Masitsho ukuba une-Chase Sapphire Reserve kwaye ujonge amatikiti e-United ukusuka eNew York ukuya eChicago. Ukuba i-United ihlawulisa i-15,000 yeemayile okanye i-150 yeedola kwitikiti, wena kunye neapos sifumana imbuyekezo yemayile enye. Kodwa ukuba unayo iChase Sapphire Reserve, ungabhukisha itikiti elifanayo ngamanqaku ayi-10 000 aMabhaso okuGqibela, kuba ufumana ireyithi emiselweyo yeesenti ezi-1.5 ngengongoma nganye. Kutheni uzihlupha ngokudlulisela kwi-United kwimeko enjalo?

10. Ukuhlawula iirhafu eziphezulu kunye neerhafu

Iinkqubo ezithile ezenziwa rhoqo, njengeBritish Airways Executive Club, zaziwa ngokufumba iintlawulo ezingaphezulu kwamakhulu okanye amawaka eedola kumatikiti amabhaso. '[Bona & apos; re] imirhumo yeeholide kushishino lweenqwelo moya, utshilo uHoward. 'Uyonwaba ngokusebenzisa iimayile zakho ozifumene nzima kunye namanqaku okubhukisha itikiti lokufumana kuphela ukufumanisa ukuba unetyala elingaphezulu kwe- $ 1,000 kwiirhafu nakwimirhumo.'

Ngethamsanqa, ezinye iinkqubo zeenqwelo moya azidlulisi ezo ntlawulo zongezelelweyo kwiitikiti zamabhaso, utshilo. Ucebisa ukuba kusetyenziswe iikhilomitha ukusuka kwi-Air Canada Aeroplan, United MileagePlus, okanye i-Avianca LifeMiles ukunqanda imali eninzi kumaqabane e-Star Alliance. 'Ngokunjalo, iAmerican Airlines AAdvantage ingasetyenziselwa ukubhukisha amaqabane amaninzi e-Oneworld ngaphandle kwentlawulo,' uyongeza. Ngaphandle kweBritish Airways, ewe, apho & ampos; usaya kuhlaselwa yimirhumo.

11. Ukuthenga iiMayile endaweni yokuGqithisa okanye ukuDibanisa

Nangona iinkqubo zokuhambisa rhoqo zihlala ziqhuba iibhonasi okanye izaphulelo kwintengiso yemayile, kwaye iiapos kunqabile ukuba zibe sisivumelwano esihle. Kungenxa yokuba bahlawulisa ipremiyamu yokuthenga iimayile, kuya kuba nzima ukubuyisela ixabiso elifanayo olalihlawule xa kufika ixesha lokuzikhulula kwiinqwelomoya. Ngelixa unokufuna ukuthathela ingqalelo ukwenza oku ukuba ufuna nje amawaka amabini ngaphezulu kwenqwelomoya ethile esondeleyo, unokufumana ezinye iindlela ezingcono.

Okokuqala, ukuba unamanqaku ekhadi lokuthenga ngetyala onokudlulisela kuwo ukuba uguqulele kwiimayile ngenqwelomoya ozifunayo, loo nto yeyona ndlela ilula, enexabiso eliphantsi, kunye neyona ndlela ikhawulezayo yokunyusa iakhawunti yakho. Unokucinga ngokudlulisa iikhilomitha ukusuka kwiakhawunti yomhlobo okanye yelungu losapho, elihlala lixabisa ngaphantsi kokuzithenga ngqo. Ezinye iinqwelomoya ziye zikuvumele ukuba 'udibanise' amanqaku nosapho lwakho okanye amalungu osapho simahla. Phakathi kwezinto ezenzayo ziiJetBlue, iFrontier Airlines, iAir Canada kunye neBritish Airways.

12. Ukungazisebenzisi kwinto oyifunayo ngokwenene

Isitshixo sokwenza uninzi lweemayile zakho kukujonga iintlobo zamava ohambo ofuna ukuwasebenzisela wona, utshilo uHoward. Kulula kakhulu ukulibala umbono wento ebalulekileyo & kuwe, uqala ngoku. 'Ukuba usebenzisa iimayile kunye neendawo zeshishini kunye neenqwelomoya zeenqwelo moya zokuqala yeyona nto iphambili kuwe, loo nto ilungile.' Kwelinye icala, uyaqhubeka, 'Ukuba usebenzisa iimayile ezimbalwa kangangoko unokuthatha uhambo oluninzi, bhabhisa uqoqosho. Ukuba uhamba ngenqwelomoya ngokungayeki, sebenzisa amanye amanqaku ukunqanda unxibelelwano. ' Thatha isigqibo sokuba ufuna ntoni, kwaye usebenzise iimayile zakho- ungazibambisi xa uzama ukubhukisha eyona craziest, ngaphezulu kwezona zikhetho ziphezulu. Ngaphezulu kwayo yonke le nto, utshilo uHoward, 'Ukukhulula iimayile kunye namanqaku ngumdlalo owukhethayo, kwaye uya kuthatha isigqibo malunga nezinto ozibeka phambili.'
