Whois & Analysis for awardwallet.com

A frequent-flyer program (FFP) is a loyalty program offered by an airline.

Many airlines have frequent-flyer programs designed to encourage airline customers enrolled in the program to accumulate points (also called miles, kilometers or segments) which may then be redeemed for air travel or other rewards.

Points earned under FFPs may be based on the class of fare, distance flown on that airline or its partners, or the amount paid.

There are other ways to earn points.

For example, in recent years, more points have been earned by using co-branded credit and debit cards than by air travel.

Another way to earn points is spending money at associated retail outlets, car hire companies, hotels or other associated businesses.

Points can be redeemed for air travel, other goods or services, or for increased benefits, such as travel class upgrades, airport lounge access, or priority bookings.

A ticket is a voucher that indicates that one has paid for admission to an event or establishment such as a theatre, amusement park or tourist attraction, or permission to travel on a vehicle (such as with an airline ticket, bus ticket or train ticket) typically because one has paid the fare.

A ticket may be free, and serve simply as a proof of reservation.

Travel is the movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations, and can involve travel by foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, airplane, or other means, with or without luggage, and can be one way or round trip.

Travel can also include relatively short stays between successive movements.

A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging on a short-term basis.

Facilities provided may range from a modest-quality mattress in a small room to large suites with bigger, higher-quality beds, a dresser, a fridge and other kitchen facilities, upholstered chairs, a flatscreen television and en-suite bathrooms.

Small, lower-priced hotels may offer only the most basic guest services and facilities.

Larger, higher-priced hotels may provide additional guest facilities such as a swimming pool, business centre (with computers, printers and other office equipment), childcare, conference and event facilities, tennis or basketball courts, gymnasium, restaurants, day spa and social function services.

Hotel rooms are usually numbered (or named in some smaller hotels and B&Bs) to allow guests to identify their room.

Some boutique, high-end hotels have custom decorated rooms.

Some hotels offer meals as part of a room and board arrangement.

In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food and drinks to all guests within certain stated hours.

In Japan, capsule hotels provide a tiny room suitable only for sleeping and shared bathroom facilities.

The track on a railway or railroad, also known as the permanent way, is the structure consisting of the rails, fasteners, railroad ties (sleepers, British English) and ballast (or slab track), plus the underlying subgrade.

It enables trains to move by providing a dependable surface for their wheels to roll upon.

For clarity it is often referred to as railway track (British English and UIC terminology) or railroad track (predominantly in the United States).

Tracks where electric trains or electric trams run are equipped with an electrification system such as an overhead electrical power line or an additional electrified rail.
