| We hope you and your loved ones are doing well. |

| If there is one thing us travellers are good at - it's learning to adapt to situations. While we adapt to this new normal of work from home or not seeing our families and friends as often as we'd like to, we should also take a moment and appreciate our resilience as a community that has brought us this far. |
| We miss receiving mails and photographs from our members sharing their travel experiences, of how they have enjoyed the benefits of their InterMiles Membership, of how they reached their mileage goals and planned that much awaited holiday. The summer vacations are almost over, the travel season is coming to an end as monsoon begins, but we look at this as a temporary postponement of our journeys. |
| Resumption of Air Services |
|
| While the nationwide lockdown continues to be in force, there has been some easing of restrictions w.r.t air travel. As you may be aware that Ministry of Civil Aviation has allowed domestic flights to operate in a calibrated manner for travel w.e.f 25th May, 2020. |
| We would, however, urge you to only plan essential travel right now. In our fight against the pandemic, while all stakeholders will have instituted various protocols to make your travel safe, it's equally important that you take your own measures like wearing a mask, maintaining adequate distance and using sanitizers for the safety and well-being of yourself and your loved ones. |
| For your travel, we urge you to read and bookmark air travel guidelines published by Ministry of Civil Aviation to ensure you have a safe and a smooth journey. We would also like to draw your attention to the health protocols issued and being followed by different States / Union Territories for air passengers. You can read the complete set of guidelines here. |
| You can book your flights via our website intermiles.com or the InterMiles App. |
|
| Safety of Flight Bookings with Credit Shell |
|
| Basis different airline policies your flight bookings are safe with us against the airlines issued credit shell, giving you the flexibility of choosing your next flight with us. Please refer to the respective airline's policy before you cancel or reschedule your upcoming travel plans. For any booking where you have sought to cancel/reschedule your travel as per the respective airline's policy, the same has been actioned from our side. If there is anything pending, we apologize for the time taken and we promise to revert soon. |
|
| Miles Credit for Cancelled Flight Bookings |
|
| Mindful of the extraordinary times we are going through, we have credited Miles into the Membership Accounts on flights booked for travel dates within the lockdown period. We want you to keep making the best of your Membership as you accrue Miles for cancelled bookings as well. |
|
|
|
| You can check the revised policy w.r.t your hotels booking by visiting the 'Manage Booking' section on intermiles.com to make modifications or cancel your booking. |
|
| Your InterMiles Membership |
|
| We understand how much you love collecting and using InterMiles for all your activities. Your ability to earn InterMiles for your travel and stays have been impacted in the last couple of months. |
| InterMiles is not just about earning / redeeming miles for travel but much more. Our wide network of 150+ programme partners across 10+ categories enable you to earn InterMiles for every spend of yours. |
| Early on during the lockdown we introduced a series of engaging initiatives to ensure you continue getting the best out of your InterMiles Membership from the comfort of your home. |
- New Partnerships: We joined hands with partners like TEDxGateway, Udemy, Magzter and Mfine for your learning, reading and wellness needs while you stay home.
- Instantly Get Rewarded with the InterMiles App: Participate in our Quiz-A-Thon, Games, and much more that let you collect InterMiles with ease.
- Mileage Expiry Suspension: We understand you may have had limited opportunities to redeem InterMiles across flight and hotel bookings, and so we relaxed our mileage expiry policy till 31st July 2020. You now have more time with your Miles.
