Air Astana has launched the new Diamond card status for the members of its Nomad Club frequent flyer programme, offering more benefits for its loyal customers.

The Diamond card status is awarded to previous Gold card members, who have managed to maintain that status for the past four years, which involves earning 100,000 flight points or taking 125 flights each calendar year.

“The Nomad Club Diamond card provides eligible members with exceptional benefits to recognise their dedication and loyalty to Air Astana over many years,” says Ibrahim Canliel, senior vice-president marketing and sales of Air Astana. “This covers both the increased tangible benefits, as well as added recognition throughout their entire Air Astana journey.”

The Diamond card status offers its members a range of benefits, including reservation wait-list priority; a guaranteed Economy Class seat on any Air Astana flight at any time (when booking 72 hours prior to departure); the right to gift Silver card or Gold card status as well as points to relatives and friends; free upgrades to Business Class twice a year; double points awarded and unlimited purchase of bonus points. In addition, Diamond card memebers can also check-in at Business Class counters, regardless of booking class; enjoy free additional 25 kg of baggage; and access to Air Astana Business Class lounges with a guest.

Once awarded, Diamond card membership is valid for two years. https://airastana.com
