Welcome to the membership program that is truly rewarding.

As an Alfursan member you are entering a world of benefits and rewards that include free

tickets and upgrades, additional luggage allowance, priority booking waitlist on your next

flight and many more.

Alfursan membership also entitles you to a range of offers and promotions through our

exclusive partners - which include banks, hotels, car rentals and telecom - which add to your

miles and makes your Alfursan experience even more rewarding.

With Alfursan the more you fly the more exclusive privileges become available to you. Silver

and Gold membership, our elite tiers, entitle you to a long list of benefits that include access

to the business and first-class lounges, preferential check-in at the airport and highest wait-

listing priority, to name a few.

Thank you for your loyalty and we hope to you see you soon onboard a Saudi Arabian

Welcome to Alfursan

Page 4: Alfursan Membership Guide - English
Page 5: Alfursan Membership Guide - English

Alfursan membership is our way of rewarding you for flying with us. Every flight you take as

a member earns you miles - your currency for rewards, benefits and privileges. This is how

they work.

Reward MilesYou earn Reward Miles for every mile you fly with Saudi Arabian Airlines and with the

various Alfursan earning partners. The Reward Miles can be redeemed for free flights,

upgrades and other special offers.

You can earn Reward Miles faster with Silver and Gold membership, flying business or first

class, enrolling family members, and other special promotions. You also earn Reward Miles

when enjoying the services of our exclusive partners.

Status MilesStatus Miles are your means of progression through the Alfursan membership tiers of

Blue, Silver and Gold. You only earn Status Miles when flying with Saudi Arabian Airlines.

Upgrading to the higher tiers increases the number of benefits and privileges you are

entitled to. Status Miles are valid for the calendar year in which you earn them.

International SectorsInternational flights earn you International Sectors, which are another means of progressing

through the membership tiers. Like Status Miles, these are valid for the calendar year in

which you earn them.

Your elevation to a higher tier would be based on achieving either the Status Miles or the

International Sectors required, whichever is attained first.
