About the Project
We as a team of 4, developed a native Android app to make users able to see on a map their earned miles from a frequent flyer program called Miles&Smiles. So users were able to plan a new journey, set goals, add places to favorite lists and share their travels on social media. In the perspective of marketing, this approach had the potential of making users plan new journeys with their miles and buy additional tickets for the way back instead of using the miles to make already planned trips free. After our project, Turkish Airlines decided to use this feature for their Miles & Smiles program. I took the role of the integration and manipulation of the map feature by using Here Maps SDK.
