I am new to all this...

I found this forum as I was looking for a Helicopter Pleasure Flight and I found
http://www.bleachboys.com/flights/

I don't know whether Helicopter Flights count towards what you are talking
about, so could someone please enlighten me..

I am looking forward to my first Helicopter Flight with the above company...

maybe it's just me but this post smells like spam/ad.

it is not spam

I am genuinely going on a Helicopter Flight, which will be my first time
I just want to know whether points are gained towards this...

i.e. are Helicopter Flights included ?
and if not,
could I get them included ?

If and when an airline partners with Joe's Helicopter Service, you will earn points. Until then, you're SOL.

You're in luck! You do receive miles for helicopter flights and they add up fast! I used the bleachboys to fly from Manchester to London just last week and now I'm an Air France million miler! I don't know how they do it, but you get 10,000 Air France miles for every mile you fly on one of their helicopters - and that includes VERTICAL - not just horizontal - miles. So, say you go up 4 miles high, then you tavel 92 miles laterally, then you go down 4 miles; they count that all up as 100 miles flown. Multiply that out by the 10,000 Air France miles per actual mile flown and you've got your Million Miles!

It's Awesome. I just can't believe that when I clicked on that link (curiousity kills the cat once again) that I was only the 21st person to visit their awesome one page, two picture, email address requesting website.



Now, the real question is, how many frequent flyer miles do you give to those goats when they pay the toll to get over your bridge?

nfortunately, as the helicopter will, after the round-trip-circle, land where it started, you will get no miles
