==Airline Affinity Program==
'''Smiles''' is GOL/Varig's [[Frequent-flyer program]] since 20 July 2006. Points can be used for services from GOL/Varig, and partners [[Aerolíneas Argentinas]], [[Aeroméxico|Aeromexico]], [[Air Canada]], [[Air Europa]], [[Air France]], [[Alitalia]], [[American Airlines]], [[Avianca]], [[British Airways]], [[Copa Airlines]], [[Emirates (airline)|Emirates]], [[Etihad Airways|Etihad]], [[Iberia (airline)|Iberia]], [[KLM]], [[Qatar Airways]] and [[TAP Air Portugal]], including flights, upgrades, holidays, hotel stays and car rentals. Smiles was part of the "new Varig" package bought by GOL, which honored all miles and eventually became its own frequent-flyer program. Previously Gol had no such program.{{Citation needed|date=May 2018}}
