How do I add frequent flyer to my ticket?

Use the airline website to enter your FF number to the booked flight or call your company's travel agency. Going forward, your Concur Travel booked flights on this airline will have your FF number added to it automatically.



Adding a frequent flyer number to an existing ticket is a straightforward process that can be done in several ways. The most common method is to visit the airline’s website and use the "Manage Booking" or "My Trips" tool. You will need your 6-digit confirmation code (PNR) and your last name to access the reservation. Once in, look for a section labeled "Passenger Information," "Edit Details," or "Add Loyalty Program." You can also add your number during the online check-in process, which typically opens 24 hours before your flight. If you are already at the airport, a gate agent or check-in kiosk can easily link your account to the flight. If you realize you forgot to add it after you have already flown, most airlines allow you to "claim missing miles" through their website for up to 6–12 months after the trip, provided you still have your boarding pass or ticket number. In 2026, many airline apps also use "auto-recognition" if the email address on your booking matches the one in your loyalty profile, often adding the number for you automatically.
