* The required mileage for MU free ticket award is calculated between two points basis. If the itinerary includes a stopover or transfer, the mileage required must be added together. Example: passenger flies from HongKong to Shanghai, transfers to Chongqing on Economy class round-trip ticket. Assuming that neither flight involves blackout dates, it needs 40,000 miles for a round-trip ticket between Hong-Kong and Shanghai, and another 40,000 miles for a round-trip ticket between Shanghai and Chongqing, therefore, the total mileage required for the round-trip in the journey from HongKong to Chongqing via Shanghai would be 80,000 miles.
