- Some non-US airlines offer their own FF program. For example, British Airways.
- A friend told me in BA's program, the number of actual miles you have
- accumulated will equal to the actual no. of miles you can claim. (There is
- a min. of something like 500 miles for each claim.) I think Asiana has
- their own program and also Virgin Atlantic. (I think Virgin Atlantic
- flies from London to Tokyo. Do they?) My aunt in Montreal also mentioned
- to me about getting airmiles from a Canadian airline.
