In addition to personal loyalty schemes, many airlines are deciding to reward the company as well. Below we detail the benefits of the best schemes available to frequent business flyers.

	British Airways On Business On Business from British Airways will make your company’s travel budget go further, by rewarding your company with On Business Points every time your employees fly with British Airways. By participating, your company will save money by redeeming points for a range of travel products (flights, upgrades, hotel accommodation). It is free to join. It is open to any company with five or more travelling employees.

	Star Alliance Company Plus Star Alliance Company Plus is the online incentive programme for corporate customers of airlines within Star Alliance, the world’s leading airline alliance.

	Virgin Flying Co Flying Co rewards your business and your company’s travellers. Each time one of your company travellers takes a qualifying flight with Virgin (in Upper Class, Premium Economy, or Economy) they earn miles twice over. Not only do they earn miles for your business as a member of Flying Co, but they also earn miles for themselves as members of Flying Club, Virgin’s frequent flyer programme. This scheme is designed to make your travel budget go further. Flying Co miles can be redeemed by your company for a variety of rewards, including flights, upgrades and hotel stays.
