Aeroflot Bonus members who haven’t flown in the past two calendar years can still protect their miles when a child is born or adopted under one year old. This policy, reported by Aeroflot, expands the loyalty program’s benefits to families during important life moments.
According to the airline, the change is designed to help parents, guardians, and anyone caring for a newborn. The miles tied to these accounts will remain valid for two years after they are added to the family, giving families a clearer runway to plan travel without losing earned miles during a period of adjustment.
To qualify for this mile-safety extension, applicants must submit a formal request along with a copy of their passport and a birth or adoption certificate for their child. Submissions are made through the Feedback form within the Aeroflot Bonus personal account, or via the airline’s official site. Importantly, both the mother and the father must submit separate applications to secure mileage protection for their respective accounts.
Previously, there were reports that the status extension could be granted to one parent for the following year after the birth or adoption of a child under one year old. The current initiative represents a continuation of Aeroflot’s social policy aligned with the Year of the Family, reflecting the airline’s support for family values and social responsibility in line with government guidance.
To maintain the loyalty tier levels, applicants are reminded that the process must be completed through the Feedback channel. By doing so, families can ensure that their Aeroflot Bonus miles remain intact during a pivotal life event, balancing travel needs with the responsibilities of new parenthood.
In practice, this means even if a family slows down its travel activity, miles won from past flights are safeguarded for a two-year window after the birth or adoption moment is documented. The policy underscores Aeroflot’s broader approach to member welfare within its loyalty ecosystem, recognizing that life events like welcoming a new child can temporarily shift travel priorities while still sustaining long-term loyalty value.
For members in Canada and the United States, the policy is implemented in line with Aeroflot’s international loyalty framework. The airline emphasizes clear submission requirements and separate applications for each parent, ensuring that both accounts receive the intended protection. In effect, the extensions are designed to minimize disruption to family travel plans and preserve accumulated value, even if flight activity resumes later in the two-year period.
As with all loyalty programs, applicants should keep copies of all documents and confirmation messages. The airline notes that processing times may vary, and applicants will receive acknowledgment once the submission is reviewed. The underlying objective remains simple: support families by preserving the potential to redeem miles when travel becomes practical again, while aligning with broader social policies that celebrate family growth and stability.
