November 5, 2009, Tokyo - JAL Hotels Co., Ltd. has begun a new partnership with Golden Lotus Plus, Vietnam Airlines’ mileage program. Members of the Golden Lotus Plus program can now earn miles by staying at a hotel in the Nikko Hotels International or Hotel JAL City groups of hotels.
To kick off the partnership, a double miles campaign for stays at these hotels will be in effect until the end of December, 2009.
Under this partnership agreement, Golden Lotus Plus members will earn 800 miles per stay at a hotel in the Nikko Hotels International (NHI) group anywhere around the world, and 500 miles per stay at a hotel in the Hotel JAL City (HJC) group. (Group rates and some discounted rates will not earn mileage, however.) Golden Lotus Plus members must pay for the stay at the hotel in order for the stay to earn miles in the program. During the double miles campaign, Golden Lotus Plus members can earn 1,600 miles per stay at a NHI hotel and 1,000 miles per stay at a HJC hotel.
Vietnam Airlines flies to 50 cities around the world including 24 cities in Vietnam. There are Nikko Hotels International luxury hotels in 10 of these destinations: Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Beijing, Hong Kong, Taipei, Hanoi, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and San Francisco. In addition to the 257-room Hotel Nikko Hanoi in Vietnam, opened in August, 1998, the Nikko Hotels International group of hotels will include Hotel Nikko Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City when it opens in October, 2011.
In addition to Vietnam Airlines and Japan Airlines, JAL Hotels has mileage program partnerships with seven non-Japanese airlines: American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Air China, Cathay Pacific Airways, China Airlines, Malaysia Airlines and Korean Air.
