And would receiving miles make you more likely to choose a particular charter flight or operator?
its never been known IIRC that any charter flights op'd by any scheduled airlines earn points/miles, I have always seen the 'exception' posted by the tour operator.
the only bonus's sometimes are that Business/Premium or Club seating is available for a supplement and also lounge use if mentioned
Club Mark Warner have a big program of BA summer charters from LHR and they say silver/gold exec's can use lounge but no longer off the Club product - why? possible due to the downgrade of seat space/legroom etc ?
