There are 2 types - either airline frequent flyer reward programmes or Air Miles (the brand).
BA have Executive Club and bmi have Diamond Club. To earn points you must fly either with the relevant airline or one of their partners (either One World or Star Alliance) - some other relevant travel spending can also count (ie staying in partner hotel chains or car rental).
The airline points can mostly be spent on flights or with BA also upgrades to flights that have already been ticketed. I don't think either let you book packages using the points.
However, the rewards can be great - I took Mrs Puggit to Mauritius in First Class in 2009!
Then there is AirMiles. This is very separate. Points can be earned in lots of places, and spent in lots of places - the front page demonstrates that package holidays can be acquired!
