Earn Miles

Earn miles when flying on Malaysia Airlines marketed and operated flights for travel on an eligible published fare ticket. Miles are also earned on Malaysia Airlines codeshare flights operated by oneworld carriers and oneworld affiliates.

Travel on Malaysia Airlines and affiliate airlines counts toward qualifying for AAdvantage elite status membership.

What is an eligible published fare ticket?

Eligible published fare tickets must be:

  1. Booked in a eligible booking code — find the fare booking code by looking for a single letter which immediately follows the flight number on your ticket. Next, compare this booking code against the airline's "Earn Miles" chart below to determine whether or not it is eligible to earn base miles and, at what percentage base miles will be accrued.
  2. On an eligible routing — check the airline's "Earn Miles" chart below to determine if any origin and destinations are excluded from earning base miles.
Class of Service Purchased Fares Booked in:* Base Miles (elite status qualifying) Class of Service Bonus Miles Elite Qualifying Points per Mile Earned
First Class A, F 100% 50% 1.50
Business Class C,D,J,Z 100% 25% 1.50

Note – Travel ticketed as an AA marketed flight (booked as an AA flight number) and operated by Malaysia Airlines will earn AAdvantage base miles and elite qualifying miles, points and segments according to the AA mileage accrual chart.
