Elite-status membership with most major carriers nets you bonus miles. Now Eos has come up with a similar idea for frequent flyers: Effective March 1, Eos flights can earn “Club 48” members up to 11,250 points on qualifying fares. “Our new Club 48 is designed for all those premium travelers who very much want to try Eos, but haven’t yet because they are wedded to a traditional carrier’s frequent flyer program – and we know there are many,” commented Adam Komack, Chief Lifestyle Officer.

There are three Club 48 levels: Orion, Thea, and Helios. (No extra points awarded for knowing the mythological references.) Flying 10 segments (or 75,000 points) gets you to Orion and a Priority Pass, which provides annual access to over 500 airport lounges worldwide, and 25,000 Club 48 bonus points. Twenty segments (or 150,000 points) and you’re a Thea, which gives you 50,000 bonus points with the opportunity to earn 50% more points on subsequent flights through 2009. Helios level (30 segments or 250,000 points) brings you 150,000 Club 48 bonus points, plus double bonus points on subsequent flights through 2009.

Best perk: No blackout dates. Details: (800) 598-2169 or www.eosairlines.com.
