DULLES, Va., Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Low-fare airline Independence Air (NASDAQ:FLYI) is proud to announce it has now welcomed member number 1,000,000 to its iCLUB frequent flyer program. Since beginning service in June of last year, Independence Air has been welcoming thousands of new iCLUB members each week -- attracted by the simple program rules and easy unrestricted redemption of award flights. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20031119/DCW018LOGO-a ) The one millionth member is Sergey Kusherenko of Germantown, MD. He joined the iCLUB while booking an upcoming trip from Washington Dulles to Boston. Mr. Kusherenko said, "I have flown with Independence Air several times before and have really enjoyed the service, but had not gotten around to joining the iCLUB. It looks like I picked the perfect time to become a member." As a special thank-you for being named the one millionth member, the airline is awarding Mr. Kusherenko with a gift of free roundtrip airfare to any Independence Air destination for his entire family. iCLUB Members can earn one iPOINT(R) for each dollar spent on their own tickets. Accumulating 1,500 iPOINTS in any 12-month period equals one award, which is good for one year. There are no blackout dates. If there is a seat available on a flight, it is available for award use.
