How Akasa Elevate works<\/strong><\/p>\n Akasa Elevate has four membership tiers. Members can qualify for higher tiers based on eligible flights or qualifying spending.<\/p>\n The benefits increase at higher membership levels, with premium-tier members also eligible for dedicated customer support and other airport services.<\/p>\n Passengers can claim points for past travel<\/strong><\/p>\n Akasa Air has introduced a limited-period Retro Claim facility under which passengers who travelled with the airline from April 1, 2026, can join the programme and claim Elevate Points for eligible past travel.<\/p>\n Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Akasa Air Founder and CEO Vinay Dube said the facility currently covers travel dating back to the beginning of the financial year.<\/p>\n \u201cTo begin with, you can have retro claims dating back all the way to the start of our fiscal year, which is April 1, 2026,\u201d Dube said.<\/p>\n What do top-tier members get?<\/strong><\/p>\n The highest tier of Akasa Elevate will include additional flexibility for frequent flyers. Dube said these members will be eligible for no change fees, additional baggage allowance and the option to move to an earlier flight without change charges.<\/p>\n The airline also plans to provide more personalised assistance to customers in the top tier.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I think overriding all of that is the very personalised care that we will provide for our most loyal customers. This is our way of saying thank you on our fourth anniversary to the wonderful customers who have trusted us and continue to fly us again and again,\u201d Dube said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Points can be earned on eligible flight bookings and ancillary products and services. The programme also provides tier-linked benefits covering areas such as priority services, baggage, seats, meals and travel flexibility.<\/p>\n
