Earning rates
The Maltese flag carrier will allow passengers to earn SkyBux on flights depending on the price of the basic fare paid, and depending on your membership tier will then offer a higher level of earning. Additional earnings from ancillaries, such as seats and baggage, are expected to be added to the program soon.
