Airlink’s Skybucks programme is live and offers Airlink’s frequent flyers excellent value.

You can then redeem your Skybucks when booking a ticket – enabling you to pay less for your tickets and providing the opportunity to earn exciting rewards.

Get rewarded for flying

Skybucks can be redeemed on all Airlink flights to more than 45 destinations, and members get several extra benefits just for being active on the programme.

Some benefits include priority boarding, check-in and baggage.

Skybucks has three tiers: Blue, Red, and Emerald, which members can achieve simply by the number of sectors flown on Airlink.

If you reach Emerald, Skybucks’ highest tier, you will receive complimentary upgrades to business class and pre-seating. Additionally, you can access the lounge irrespective of cabin or class booked to wait comfortably before and between flights.

Here’s what each tier offers.

Extra programme benefits

For families, the Skybucks programme offers a pooling system called Skybucks Club that lets you group up to eight individuals – one beneficiary and seven contributors.

This allows you to maximise the number of Skybucks you earn.

You can also transfer your Skybucks to other members – if you want to gift a friend or family member.

Skybucks caters for infrequent flyers who want to accrue Skybucks over a more extended period, too, as your Skybucks will remain valid for 18 months without flight activity. They will then refresh whenever you fly again.

Join three million passengers on over 75,000 annual flights through Airlink – your airline of choice that lets you save with Skybucks.
