Earning miles
Earn a minimum of 500 Mileage Plus miles on qualifying TACA flights. You’ll earn miles according to the booking class that you purchase.
It’s easy to earn miles for your flight. Simply provide your Mileage Plus number when you make your reservation, and make sure that it appears on your boarding pass at check-in.
Save your boarding pass until flight miles have been credited to your account. If your miles haven’t been credited within three weeks, you may request credit online within six months of your travel date.

Exceptions
If you purchase a ticket on a flight that is marketed by TACA but operated by another airline (known as a code-share flight), the operating airline determines how many miles you earn for your flight.
Note that the booking class that appears on your ticket may differ from the booking class that the operating airline uses to determine flight miles earned.
Using miles
You can use your miles toward award travel on any TACA flight, worldwide.
