Shanghai Airlines - Crane Club (Former Frequent-Flyer Program)

Crane Club (Former Frequent-Flyer Program)

Crane Club (simplified Chinese: 金鹤俱乐部; traditional Chinese: 金鶴俱樂部) was the frequent-flyer program of Shanghai Airlines prior to the merger with China Eastern Airlines. However, Shanghai Airlines announced on April 2011 that the Crane Club will be merged into China Eastern's Eastern Miles Program. It was officially merged into Eastern Miles on June 8, 2011. After the merger, members can earn and use their mileage on China Eastern's flights.

The Crane Club had two tiers: Crane Club Gold and Silver. The following chart shows the old program.
