Miles & More

Lufthansa’s Miles More loyalty program offers travelers worldwide the opportunity to maximize their travel experience using Miles. These can be used as currency to obtain various benefits, such as the ability to get Award tickets, receive an upgrade, or stay in a hotel.

Miles More Miles Earning

Apply for a Bank Card

In France, only one credit card allows you to accumulate Miles More Miles. This is the Miles More Gold Mastercard. Its benefits are numerous, including:

The first six months of fees are free, after which the monthly fees are 12 euros. For a premium card that comes with an extensive range of insurance, the monthly fee is not high at all.

Here is a list of the various fees, including cash withdrawal fees and commissions charged on purchases in and outside the euro zone:

Travel with Lufthansa, Brussels Airlines, SWISS or a Partner

Travel with a Lufthansa Group Member Airline

You can earn Miles More by flying with Lufthansa Group member airlines:

When you book a flight with one of these airlines, the following rules apply:

The ticket price does not include upgrades and other supplementary services, such as seat selection or excess baggage.

Travel With a Partner Company

You can also earn Miles More Miles with partner airlines that are not members of the Lufthansa Group.

Here is the list of Lufthansa’s partner airlines:

If you book with a partner airline that is not a member of the Lufthansa Group, the number of Miles earned depends on the agreement between Lufthansa and the partner.

The scale is generally calculated according to :

Spend in the Miles More shop or with partners

In addition to airlines, Miles More partners with hotels, car rental agencies and more.

Partner Hotels

Miles More has many hotel partners. Depending on the contract, a traveller can earn up to :

Here is the list of all Miles More hotel partners:

Partner Hotels

You can also earn Miles More Miles when you rent a car from one of these agencies:

Lufthansa Worldshop

Lufthansa offers a shopping portal providing Miles More Miles for every purchase with partners like Apple, FALKE, JBL, Samsonite, travelite, and WMF.

The process is similar to other online shopping portals: you must log in to the portal, choose the retailer you are interested in, and click on the corresponding link. Here, one euro spent equals 1 Mile.

Using Miles Miles More

After exploring the process of collecting Miles More Miles, let’s now look at the redemption phase. There are many possibilities, ranging from Award tickets to upgrades, as well as stays at partner hotels or items offered in the Worldshop boutique. However, it should be noted that redeeming Miles in the Worldshop is rarely advantageous.

Buy Reward Tickets

Unlike the Air France Flying Blue program, which has no fixed pricing grid, the Miles More program follows a certain chart to establish the prices of different Award tickets. This is valid for Lufthansa Group airlines, Star Alliance member airlines, and Miles More partner airlines.

Here is the chart in question for flights departing from Europe:

For a flight from Paris to Montreal with Air Canada (a Star Alliance member), for example, a round-trip Economy Class Award ticket costs 40,000 Miles More Miles. To fly in Business Class, you would need to board a Lufthansa aircraft with a layover in Munich or Frankfurt.

Take Advantage of Offers on Prime Tickets

Miles More offers three types of Award tickets at discounted prices:

With these Award tickets, you can book flights with reduced Mile amounts, whether you are looking at the last minute or planning far in advance.

Early Bird

Early Bird Reward tickets entitle you to a discount of up to 65% on the number of miles required when you book your Economy Class tickets with Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines or SWISS more than 30 days in advance.

Good Deals

Bonnes Affaires Reward tickets are the equivalent of Promo Reward tickets in Air France‘s Flying Blue program.

Each month, Miles More publishes monthly offers that allow you to save up to 50% on the Miles required to travel to certain destinations in Economy, Premium Economy, and Business Class.

Fly Smart

Fly Smart Award tickets allow you to save up to 50% in Miles when you travel at the last minute, meaning at most two weeks after purchase and at least two days before.

However, some rather restrictive conditions apply. A minimum stay of 7 days is required for any Fly Smart Award ticket redeemed for long-haul flights, and for intra-European Fly Smart Award flights, the return flight cannot be made before the first Sunday following the outbound flight.

Miles More Bylaws

Since 2024, the Miles More program has had four status levels:

How do I Get It?

To move up in the Miles More program, it is essential to earn Points, Qualifying Points, and HON Circle Points, particularly by flying on an eligible flight with Lufthansa and partner airlines.

The number of Points earned depends on two factors:

For a flight from Geneva to Bangkok in the Business cabin with SWISS, for example, you’ll receive 200 Points, 200 Qualifying Points and 200 HON Circle Points.

Scale

To achieve status, you must accumulate a certain number of points and Qualifying Points during the qualification period.

The qualification period is one calendar year for all status levels. Thus, if you obtain or renew your status, it will be valid immediately and will end at the end of February of the following year. For example, if you reach a new status level in August 2024, it will be valid until the end of February 2026.

What Are the Advantages?

Of course, as with all loyalty programs, the higher the status, the greater the benefits.
