 Tier Status and Benefits
As you accumulate your Tier Miles, you are able to progress to higher Tier levels, which means you become privy to an increasing amount of Awards and other sought-after membership benefits.
When you join the Voyager Programme, you start on the Blue Tier status level. Then, as you accumulate more Tier Miles, you progress to Silver, Gold, Platinum and, finally, the ultimate - Lifetime Platinum, exclusive to SAA.
 
Important points about Sectors
• The fare basis of each qualifying Intercontinental Sector must be a paid, full-fare first, premium or business class ticket.
• In order to qualify for Sectors, your ticket must be booked on an SAA flight number.

Lifetime Platinum – To earn this coveted membership status, members are required to retain their Platinum status for 5 consecutive calendar years excluding the calendar year in which the Member qualified for Platinum.
 

 

*On Intercontinental flights you need Sectors in paid first, premium or business class on SAA eligible fares**
*On Domestic flights you need Sectors on full economy or business class fares**

**Agency discounts, industry accounts, infant fares (10%) and Award redemption flights are not eligible for Miles and Sectors. You have to fly SAA, on the full published fare.

 
Tier benefits are not transferable and are exclusive to Voyager Elite Members. Tier benefits will only be granted if Elite Voyager Members are travelling on a published fare ticket, on an SAA flight number operated by SAA and/or on a Feeder Airline flight number operated by the Feeder Airline.
