Miles & more, the lufthansa frequent flyer and awards programme.

Travel is about much more than just getting from A to B. Travel also means discovering new worlds. Our frequent flyer and awards programme, Miles & More, offers you numerous privileges to make each one of your journeys even more enjoyable. You will also earn valuable miles in the air and on the ground, so that you can treat yourself or others to attractive awards. Discover a new world with Miles & More – with all its benefits.

New status programme

The  new status program starts on January 1, 2024: simple and transparent for achieving status, versatile  as usual when it comes to your privileges.

Broaden your horizons and your comfort when traveling with Points

With Miles & More, you can earn Points (Points, Qualifying Points, and HON Circle Points) on every one of your Lufthansa flights, and these will help you achieve frequent flyer status. As a result, you will soon be able to enjoy privileges that will make flying even pleasanter. Start your trip by visiting one of our various lounges – whether for relaxation or for work. You can even make your flight booking simpler, by using prefilled forms, for example. And thanks to your saved card and account details, you will save valuable time, too.

Our frequent flyer programme is basically divided into three categories with different benefits: Frequent Traveller, Senator, and HON Circle. As a Frequent Traveller, you will already enjoy an increased free baggage allowance. As a Senator you can enjoy access to the Senator and Star Gold Lounges (instead of F/CL CKI) and as an HON Circle Member an exclusive limousine and transfer service is available that will make your departure and arrival as comfortable as possible.

Earn miles and redeem them for attractive awards

Not only in the air, but also on the ground: as soon as you have registered with Miles & More, you can also earn valuable miles on everyday purchases, with almost 40 partner airlines, for hotel bookings, and on numerous other occasions.

The opportunities to redeem these miles with our Miles & More partners are just as numerous. Treat yourself and enjoy an upgrade on your next flight or explore your destination in a rental car.

Ultimate guide to earning and redeeming Lufthansa Miles & More miles

Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here .

Lufthansa Group has grown a ton in recent years. We've seen the group buy up a number of European airlines, all while continuing to expand the Lufthansa route network from its hubs in Frankfurt (FRA) and Munich (MUC). One thing you may not know about Lufthansa is that its Miles & More loyalty program is actually used by a number of different airlines around Europe, some of which aren't in the Star Alliance.

Additionally, the loyalty program has some interesting sweet spots that make it worth taking a closer look at if you're based in Europe. Plus, U.S. based flyers that frequently fly to Europe on Lufthansa or another Lufthansa Group airline may find more use in earning Miles & More miles than United or another Star Alliance partner.

If you find yourself curious about the Miles & More program, you're in the right place. Here, we'll run you through everything you need to know about Miles & More, starting with elite status and partner airlines, then moving to earning and redeeming points.

Let's get started.

Program Overview

Miles & More is owned by Lufthansa Group, but it's used as the primary loyalty program for a number of different airlines throughout Europe. Other airlines that use Miles & More as their primary loyalty program include:

• Air Dolomiti
• Austrian Airlines
• Brussels Airlines
• Croatia Airlines
• LOT Polish Airlines

Many of these airlines are either entirely owned by Lufthansa Group or have previously been partially or wholly owned by the group. However, some airlines — namely LOT Polish and Croatia Airlines — have never been affiliated with Lufthansa Group but still opt to use Miles & More as a loyalty program.

Miles & More elite status tiers and benefits

Like most airline loyalty programs, Miles & More offers a variety of different elite status tiers that offer elevated mileage earnings and benefits like lounge access, upgrades and fast track security. In the case of Miles & More, there are three different status tiers: Frequent Traveller, Senator and HON Circle.

Earning Miles & More elite status

Frequent Traveller and Senator status are earned after you accrue 35,000 and 100,000 status miles, respectively, in a calendar year. These are earned by flying on Miles & More airlines (excluding Condor) and Star Alliance airline partners. Additionally, you can earn Frequent Traveller status by flying 30 flights on Miles & More airlines (excluding Condor).

Top-tier Hon Circle status is earned by accruing 600,000 Hon Circle miles over the course of two consecutive calendar years. You can only earn these miles by flying first or business class fares on Miles & More airlines (excluding Condor), and when taking the Lufthansa Express Rail in Germany and Airtrain in Switzerland.

For reference, Hon Circle miles are the same as status qualifying miles, except they're restricted to first and business class. Here's a quick overview of how to earn qualifying miles on all Miles & More airlines.

It's true that you need to fly a lot to earn Hon Circle status, but the good news is that Miles & More awards bonus Hon Circle miles when flying premium cabins. Business travelers who book full-fare, intercontinental business class have the easiest route to Hon Circle status; these earn 2 Hon Circle qualifying miles per mile flown, so a 7,680-mile round-trip flight from New York-JFK to Frankfurt (FRA) would earn 15,360 Hon Circle miles.

On the other hand, flights within Germany and Europe earn miles at a fixed rate. For example, despite a flight from Frankfurt (FRA) to Berlin (TXL) clocking in at just 267 miles one-way, you'd earn 500 qualifying miles each way in discounted P fare business class. The same goes for all other German domestic routes on Lufthansa, Swiss domestic routes in Switzerland, etc.

Intra-Europe flights earn a slightly more miles, especially when flying in business class. For example, let's say you're flying from Frankfurt (FRA) to Oslo (OSL). A business class P fare would earn 750 qualifying miles. However, if you booked in a higher fare class, you'd earn a whopping 2,000 qualifying miles. Not bad for a flight distance of just 686 miles!

So in the end, HON Circle status is for flyers that fly Lufthansa exclusively and in premium cabins. As you'd expect, this is generally business travelers with lots of international travel. You could earn HON Circle status by flying 100,000 miles per year in paid first class, 150,000 miles per year in full-fare business class or a mixture of these with domestic European flying.

Related: Credit cards that can help you earn airline elite status

Crediting flights on Star Alliance partners to Lufthansa Miles & More counts towards elite status. The number of miles you'll earn varies by airline partner, the length of your flight and your fare class.

To calculate how many miles you'll earn, find your partner on the Miles & More website and take a look at the earning chart to find the earning rate. Then, multiply the distance of your flight (in miles) by the earning rate for your fare class. In the case of a Z fare United business class ticket from Chicago-O'Hare (ORD) to London-Heathrow (LHR), you'd earn 5,910 miles. The flight is 3,940 miles and you earn 1.5 qualifying miles per mile flown.

Qualifying requirements are changing in 2022

Miles & More is changing status requirements in 2022 . So while you'll earn status for 2021 and 2022 using the metrics above, earning status for the 2023 calendar year in 2022 is based on the number of Points and Qualifying Points you earn. Points are earned on Star Alliance partner airlines, while Qualifying Points are earned on Miles & More airlines.

The number of Points and Qualifying points you'll earn is based on your class of service and whether you're flying within Europe or on an intercontinental flight. Fare class is no longer a factor, so discount fares will earn the same as full-fare tickets. The chart above shows how many Qualifying Points and Points you'll earn for each type of ticket.

Each status tier requires a different amount of Points or Qualifying Points to qualify. In the case of Frequent Traveller and Senator status, you need to earn 160 and 480 Points, respectively. Half of those can be Qualifying Points earned on partner airlines. HON Circle requires 1,500 Points over the course of a single year to qualify, but they can now be earned in economy and premium economy.

Further, members can earn additional perks after hitting specific thresholds. For example, Senator members will earn two eVouchers (valid for one-class upgrades) when they reach 700 qualifying points, and 15,000 award miles after reaching 1,000 qualifying points.

Overall, I think these changes are a good thing. They make status earning much easier to understand, and opens HON Circle status up to those that frequently fly in economy class for work and pleasure. Regardless, though, you'll still need to fly on Miles & More airlines a lot to earn HON Circle.

Miles & More elite status benefits

Earning Lufthansa status isn't easy, but each of the status tiers come with interesting benefits. In fact, top-tier HON Circle status comes with some of the most premium perks of all airline statuses — here's a look at each of the tier's respective benefits.

Frequent Traveller

Frequent Traveller is the lowest tier of Miles & More status, but it still has some solid benefits. You'll have access to Lufthansa Business Class lounges when flying on Lufthansa Group and Star Alliance carriers. You're also eligible for business class check-in, one extra checked bag, and other Star Alliance Silver benefits.

Further, you'll also earn 50% more redeemable miles and 25% more status and HON Circle qualifying miles on all paid tickets. This applies to all flights you credit to Miles & More, including flights booked on Star Alliance carriers like United.

These benefits are surprisingly rich for low-tier elite status. Just keep in mind that you can only access Lufthansa Business Class lounges, not Star Alliance partner lounges like United Clubs or the Air Canada Maple Leaf lounges. This is because Frequent Traveller includes Star Alliance Silver benefits, not Star Alliance Gold.

Senator offers even more benefits for frequent flyers. You're eligible for access to Lufthansa Senator lounge as well as all Star Alliance partner lounges when flying on a Star Alliance carrier. This includes domestic U.S. United Club access when flying United Airlines, so long as you add your Miles & More number to your ticket.

Further, you can access first class check-in, receive two extra checked bags, and two eVouchers that you can use for a one-class upgrade. You can use one eVoucher for an upgrade within a single region or two vouchers for an intercontinental one-class upgrade. As an example, upgrading from premium economy to business on a transatlantic flight requires two eVouchers.

Another great perk of Senator status is access to Companion Awards. This lets you add a companion to all award tickets at a 50% mileage discount. This applies when flying award tickets on Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, SWISS, Air Dolomiti, Eurowings, Luxair, LOT Polish Airlines, Brussels Airlines and Croatia Airlines.

Miles & More Senator status also gives you access to other Star Alliance Gold benefits like preferred baggage handling, priority boarding on Star Alliance partners and other various perks. Like Frequent Traveller, you'll earn 50% more award miles and 25% more status qualifying miles on all flights.

HON Circle is the cream of the crop when it comes to Miles & More status. It includes all Senator status benefits mentioned in the last section, but also includes First Class Terminal access at Frankfurt (FRA) on all Miles & More flights regardless of the class of service. This is a huge perk as the terminal is a dedicated space for first-class and HON Circle travelers, with upgraded lounges and more.

Plus, you're eligible for a limousine transfer on flights operated by Air Dolomiti, Austrian Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa and SWISS. Where applicable, a limousine will pick you up from the plane, drop you off at the lounge and then drive you back to your flight. This is generally reserved for first-class passengers, so it's a treat to experience on all flights.

You'll also receive six upgrade eVouchers, which can be used in the same way that Senator members can use certificates.

Earning with Miles & More

Miles & More miles are significantly harder to earn than other airline miles. The loyalty program doesn't have transfer partners and cannot transfer in from hotel loyalty programs like Marriott Bonvoy. But that doesn't mean they're impossible to earn — here are all the best ways.

Earn by flying on Miles & More and Star Alliance carriers

You can earn Miles & More miles by flying on Miles & More and Star Alliance airlines. Tickets booked with a Miles & More member airline — like Lufthansa and Swiss — will earn miles based on fare cost. If you're traveling on a Star Alliance partner flight that's not ticketed by a Miles & More airline, you'll earn miles based on distance flown. On multi-airline itineraries that include a Miles & More member, you'll earn miles based on fare cost.

For example, say you book a round-trip ticket from Chicago-O'Hare (ORD) to Frankfurt (FRA) through the Lufthansa website, with one leg operated by Lufthansa and the other by United. You'll earn miles based on spend. Miles & More awards 4 points per Euro spent on these tickets (excluding taxes). If you have elite status, you'll earn 6 points per Euro spent.

On the other hand, you'll earn miles based on distance flown if you're flying on a Star Alliance partner flight that's not ticketed by a Miles & More airline. For example, if you're flying on a Singapore Airlines flight booked with Singapore Airlines over the phone or a United Airlines flight booked through United.com.

The number of miles earned depend on the length of your flight and your booking class. Simply find your partner airline on the Miles & More website, look at the chart underneath the "Status miles / Booking class system" header. Then, find the fare class of your ticket in the chart and multiply the number under the Miles column to see how many miles you'll earn.

For example, a South African Airways fin M fare economy class would earn 790 miles on a flight between Cape Town (CPT) and Johannesburg (JNB). This is because the flight is 790 miles one-way and M fares earn 1x the distance flown.

Spend on a Miles & More credit card

In the U.S., Lufthansa and Miles & More offers a cobranded credit card issued by Barclay's called the Miles & More World Elite Mastercard . You can use this card to earn Miles & More miles on all of your purchases and it includes some added benefits, like two Lufthansa Business Class Lounge passes and an annual companion ticket.

Further, the card has a welcome bonus that usually hovers around 50,000 Miles & More points after you spend $3,000 in the first three months of account opening. Plus, you'll earn 2 miles per dollar spent on Miles & More ticket purchases and 1 mile per dollar everywhere else.

This card has an $89 annual fee and can be a good option for those set on earning Miles & More miles. However, if you frequently fly on other airlines, you may want to consider the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card instead. This card earns 2x Ultimate Rewards points on travel purchases, and the points can be transferred to airlines like United, Singapore Airlines and others. TPG values these points at 2 cents per point, 0.6 cents higher than Miles & More points.

The information for the Miles & More World Elite Mastercard has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

Book hotel rooms and rental cars

You can also earn Miles & More miles when you book hotel rooms with the Miles & More hotel booking platform. You'll earn a minimum of 1,000 miles per night and more expensive hotels generally earn more points. Just note that you generally won't be able to earn hotel points or use hotel elite status benefits on these bookings, since you're booking through an Online Travel Agency (OTA). However, many boutique and independent hotels are listed on the Miles & More portal, so it may be worthwhile to use it to book hotels that you wouldn't otherwise earn points with.

You can also book rental cars through the portal, but you may not be able to use car rental status benefits or earn rental car status. As always, make sure to wage whether earning Miles & More points outweigh these possible exclusions.

One thing to keep in mind: always cross-check hotel and rental car prices when using the Miles & More hotel portal. While the prices are usually comparable to booking direct, sometimes the price can vary. Additionally, all prices are listed in euros, so make sure to use a card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees .

Redeeming with Miles & More

We generally recommend redeeming your Miles & More miles for award travel. While you can redeem for merchandise, hotels and gift cards, this isn't recommended as you'll get a much lower redemption value than for flights.

Here's how to redeem for flights as well and a list of some of my favorite Miles & More redemptions.

Redeeming Miles & More miles for award flights

Miles & More employs a standard award chart, meaning that flights don't fluctuate in price. Award flights are priced based by zone and class of service, and you can book any Star Alliance flight that has award space. As for pricing, award flights are surprisingly reasonable. For example, transatlantic flights are 30,000 points in economy, 46,000 in premium economy class, 56,000 in business class and 91,000 in first class. You can view the complete Miles & More award chart on the loyalty program's website .

Do note that Miles & More adds fuel surcharges for most tickets — in practice, this is about $320 per ticket for intercontinental flights. The only exception are Air Canada flights within North America and United Airlines flights within North America, South America and Oceania; these awards incur minimal taxes and fees.

Redeeming points for flights is easy — head to the Miles & More website and navigate to the spend miles page . Scroll to the center of the screen, enter your flight details and click the blue Search flights button at the bottom of the screen. Then, your flight options will appear at the center of the screen; click on the flight you want to book and follow the on-screen prompts to book.

In my research, I've found that nearly all Star Alliance partner flights show on the Miles & More booking website. This means that there's no reason to call in to book award tickets, and you can rely on the Miles & More search engine to show reliable flight results.

The best uses of Miles & More flights

Redeeming Miles & More miles is one thing, but finding a great redemption is another. The award chart is very reasonable and there are some real sweet spots to be found. Here's a look at a few of my personal favorites as a U.S. based traveler — use them as a jumping-off point for redeeming your Miles & More points.

Lufthansa First Class

Miles & More doesn't offer the best redemption value for transatlantic tickets in Lufthansa first class , but it does have the best available award space. Lufthansa only opens first class award space to its partners two weeks prior to departure, but this isn't the case for Miles & More. You can access Lufthansa first class award space months beforehand, so it's easier to plan vacations on one of the world's best first-class products.

North America to Oceania

Flights from the U.S. to Australia, New Zealand and the rest of Oceania cost just 71,000 miles one-way. If you book these awards on United Airlines, you won't pay high fuel surcharges either, given you a great way to fly Down Under on points and miles.

North America to Southeast Asia

Likewise, flights from North America to Southeast Asia cost just 71,000 miles one-way in business class. You'll have to pay fuel surcharges on these tickets, but you can fly awesome business class products on carriers like Air Canada , All Nippon Airways (ANA) and EVA Air for a fraction of the price of a revenue ticket.

Bottom line

Lufthansa Group's Miles & More program is one of the most rewarding loyalty programs on the market. HON Circle and Senator status offer standout benefits, and its redemption rates for premium class awards are some of the best out there. However, it's also one of the hardest mileage currencies to earn, especially for those of us that are based in the U.S.

A niche card that may appeal to diehards of the airline notorious for its difficult-to-accrue miles but a dud for most other travelers. 

About the Lufthansa Miles & More® World Elite Mastercard® * The information for the Miles & More® World Elite Mastercard® has been collected independently by Blueprint. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

The $89-annual-fee Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard is geared toward frequent flyers of Lufthansa and its Miles & More integrated airline partners (AirDolomiti, Austrian Airlines Group, Brussels Airlines, Croatia Airlines, Eurowings, LOT Polish Airlines, Luxair and SWISS), earning 2 miles per $1 spent on ticket purchases directly from Miles & More integrated airline partners and 1 mile per $1 spent on all other purchases.

A niche benefit for Lufthansa frequent flyers is the ability to convert award miles to elite status miles at a 5 to 1 ratio, although that’s not the most lucrative way to use your miles. Like many airline loyalty programs, using Lufthansa miles for award travel — especially in a premium cabin — will give you the most value per mile. 

One of the biggest benefits of the Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard is the ability to keep miles from expiring as long as you make at least one mileage-qualifying transaction per month using your card. Without the card, only Lufthansa elite status members don’t have to worry about their miles expiring.  

Cardholders also receive a companion ticket and two complimentary Lufthansa Business Lounge vouchers upon the first use of the card after each account anniversary. The companion ticket is only valid for economy class on Lufthansa operated flights departing from the U.S. and does not include taxes and fees, which can add up to hundreds of dollars. These rules and restrictions make the perk decidedly difficult to use. 

The two complimentary one-time-use Lufthansa Business Lounge vouchers are more straightforward but there are only three Lufthansa Business lounges in the U.S. so if you don’t fly out of Boston, Detroit or Washington D.C. you may struggle to use those vouchers.  

The card is offering a welcome bonus of 50,000 miles after spending $3,000 on purchases and paying the annual fee, both within the first 90 days of account opening.

The card also comes with a 2 miles per $1 spent on ticket purchases directly from Miles & More integrated airline partners and 1 mile per $1 spent on all other purchases.

Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard basics

• Annual fee: $89 but waived for Senator and HON Circle Members, as long as they maintain their Senator or HON Circle Member status.
• Welcome bonus : 50,000 miles after spending $3,000 on purchases and paying the annual fee, both within the first 90 days of account opening. 
• Rewards: 2 miles per $1 spent on ticket purchases directly from Miles & More integrated airline partners and 1 mile per $1 spent on all other purchases.
• APR: 0% introductory APR for the first 15 billing cycles on balance transfers that posts to the account within 45 days of account opening. After that, a variable APR of 21.24%, 25.24% or 29.99% applies to purchases and balance transfers. There is a balance transfer fee of $5 or 5% of each transfer, whichever is greater.
• Other perks and benefits : A companion ticket and two complimentary Lufthansa Business Lounge vouchers for each account anniversary.
• Does the issuer offer a pre-approval tool? No.

Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard other details

Lufthansa miles & more world elite mastercard rewards.

With no rewards category bonus other than 2 miles per $1 spent on ticket purchases directly from Miles & More integrated airline partners and 1 mile per $1 spent on all other purchases, your options for earning miles with the Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard is limited. That makes the welcome bonus all the more valuable and maximizing redemptions key.

A chief benefit of having Miles & More miles is the ability to book Lufthansa’s highly sought-after first class awards far in advance as Lufthansa is known to release award space to partners only 15 days before departure. You’ll need a minimum of 7,000 miles in your Lufthansa account to search for award flights and 91,000 miles to book a one way flight from the U.S. to Europe, but with steep taxes and fees totaling over $800, that redemption will not come cheap.

For most people, the better use of Lufthansa Miles & More miles is to book Star Alliance partner flights. For 56,000 Lufthansa miles you can book a one way flight from the U.S. to Europe in business class on various airlines depending on your departure city with reasonable taxes and fees — one example being Los Angeles (LAX) to Zurich (ZRH) on SWISS. If you’re looking to stretch your points while still flying in a premium cabin in the U.S., a transcontinental business class flight like Seattle (SEA) to Newark (EWR) on United can be redeemed for 20,000 Lufthansa miles with low taxes and fees.

And while it’s not the best use of miles, the Lufthansa Miles and More World Elite Mastercard allows cardholders to convert award miles into status miles. Miles can be converted at a 5 to 1 ratio, starting at 5,000 award miles and up to 25,000 award miles. 

Becoming a Frequent Traveller, Lufthansa’s lowest elite status tier, requires 35,000 miles within one calendar year, while the Senator level requires 100,000. With 600,000 miles in two consecutive calendar years, you can reach Lufthansa’s highest status tier of HON Circle. The maximum of 5,000 converted status miles is hardly enough to get you near status, but can help those that may be on the verge. 

Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard rewards potential

Using government data and other publicly available information, we estimate that a household in the U.S. that would be in the market for this card has an annual income of $84,352 and $25,087 in expenses they are likely to be able to charge to a credit card.

Assuming that the estimated $1,188 a household spends annually on airlines was spent exclusively on Lufthansa or its partners, the Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard cardholder would earn:

Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard APR

The Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard offers a 0% introductory APR for the first 15 billing cycles on balance transfers that posts to the account within 45 days of account opening. After that, a variable APR of 21.24%, 25.24% or 29.99% applies to purchases and balance transfers. There is a balance transfer fee of $5 or 5% of each transfer, whichever is greater. This introductory APR offer does not apply to purchases and cash advances.

Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard pros

• Welcome bonus: Generous and valuable welcome bonus for a program that’s known for having hard-to-earn miles.
• Extend miles: If you don’t have elite status, the only way to keep Miles & More miles from expiring after three years is by making at least one mileage-qualifying transaction per month using your Lufthansa Miles & More credit card.
• Redeem awards on partner airlines: Using Lufthansa Miles & More miles for award redemptions on partner airlines can be very valuable, especially for premium cabin tickets.

Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard cons

• Average earning rate : It’s hard to earn miles when the only bonus earning category gets you 2 miles per $1 spent on ticket purchases directly from Miles & More integrated airline partners and 1 mile per $1 spent on all other purchases.
• Limited lounge access: Although the card comes with two annual passes, there are only three Lufthansa lounges in the U.S. 
• No transfer partners: Lufthansa doesn’t partner with any flexible rewards currencies. 
• High redemption fees: Even if you have enough miles to book an award flight on Lufthansa, the accompanying taxes and fees are so high that they are not the best-value redemptions.
• Annual fee: At $89 and with limited and hard-to-use benefits, it’s difficult to justify the annual fee after the first year.

Should you get the Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard?

If you’re a frequent flyer of Lufthansa or someone seeking to specifically earn Lufthansa Miles & More miles or extend your existing Miles & More miles, the welcome bonus makes this a good time to get the Lufthansa Miles & More World Elite Mastercard.

Lufthansa Miles & More Program Overview

Lufthansa’s frequent flyer program is called Miles & More, and the airline miles that you earn are called Lufthansa miles.

The Miles & More program can be a great way to fly a Star Alliance airline partner like United Airlines .

You’ll earn 3 different kinds of miles in the Lufthansa Miles & More program.

The first type is called Award Miles . These miles are for award flights and are valid for 36 months .

For Frequent Travellers (lowest elite level), Senators (mid-tier elite level), HON Circle Members (highest elite tier), and JetFriends (under 18 years old), award miles remain valid as long as you maintain your elite status.

The second type is called Status Miles . These miles determine your Frequent Traveller and Senator status, and are counted in the calendar year in which they are credited. Every status mile is also counted as an award mile.

The third type is called HON Circle Miles . These miles count towards achieving HON Circle status, and they are counted over 2 successive years .

Lufthansa miles can be earned in many ways; here are the 2 most common:

• Flying Lufthansa or its partner airline flights
• Earning with Lufthansa’s hotel, travel, and car rental partners

Joining Lufthansa Miles & More

The Lufthansa Miles & More program is free to join by simply completing this application .

Once you complete your application, you’ll have the ability to earn miles by flying with Lufthansa or its partner airlines, earn elite status, and redeem miles for award flights .

How to Sign in to Your Lufthansa Miles & More Account

Head to the Lufthansa login page and enter your membership number and password.

Hot Tip:  Lufthansa requires you to have at least 7,000 miles in your account to search for an award flight. If you don’t have 7,000 miles, you’ll want to use the program’s mileage calculator to determine the number of miles required for your flight. 

Viewing Your Account Activity

The easiest way to check your Lufthansa mileage balance is to:

• Log in to your account
• Hover over My Miles & More on the right side of the page
• Select Mileage Account on the left side of the page

Points Expiration

Lufthansa miles expire at the end of the quarter 36 months after the miles were earned .

For example, miles earned in October 2019 will expire December 31, 2022.

The program does allow you to extend the expiration of your miles in 2 ways:

• Hold Lufthansa elite status
• Hold a co-branded Lufthansa credit card, make at least 1 purchase per month, and have an account that’s been opened for at least 3 months

Lufthansa Miles & More Mileage Program

Lufthansa Elite Status

Lufthansa’s Miles & More program has 3 elite tiers: Frequent Traveller, Senator, and HON Circle  (highest tier).

Once you qualify for elite status in a calendar year, the benefits begin immediately and are valid for 2 years.

Frequent Traveller:  The lowest elite tier offered by Lufthansa, which comes with the following benefits:

• No mileage expiration
• Earn up to 50% more award miles, 25% more miles towards elite Status
• Additional baggage allowance
• Access to the business class lounge

Senator:  After earning this status level, you’ll have access to additional benefits including:

• All of the benefits of Frequent Traveller, plus;
• 2 vouchers to fly one class higher
• Access to Senator and Star Gold lounges
• Additional flight award availability

HON Circle:  The highest elite tier that you can earn comes with the following benefits:

• All of the benefits of Senator, plus;
• 6 vouchers to fly one class higher
• First class check-in at the First Class Terminal in Frankfurt
• Access to the Lufthansa First Class, SWISS First, and Austrian HON Circle Lounges
• Limousine and transfer service for flights

If you’re interested in diving into more detail about the Lufthansa elite benefits at each tier, go here .

Value of Lufthansa Elite Status

Earning elite status with Lufthansa makes the most sense if you fly Lufthansa, Austrian, or Swiss regularly — or if you are looking for elite benefits when flying a Star Alliance partner like United Airlines .

If you meet one of these criteria, access to premium lounges , additional award availability, and mileage earning bonuses are all reasons as to why you might want to earn elite status.

Earning Lufthansa Elite Status

Miles & More is the free frequent flyer program for not only Lufthansa, but also major airlines including Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, and LOT Polish Airlines.

By signing up for a Miles & More membership, you’ll have the ability to earn and redeem Lufthansa Miles, as well as work your way toward elite status.

The Miles & More program requires you to earn miles or board a certain number of flights in a calendar year to reach elite status.

Miles & More calculates the miles you earn on flights differently for each airline that is a part of the program, using different factors to determine the number of miles you earn.

For Lufthansa, the Miles & More program calculates the miles you earn by multiplying the fare by a factor of 6 .

As an example, if you take a $290 round-trip flight from Frankfurt to Munich on Lufthansa, you’ll earn 1,740 Lufthansa miles ($290 fare x 6).

The best way to determine the number of Lufthansa miles that you’ll earn is to use the award calculator  on this page .

Lufthansa and its partner airline flights are eligible to earn Lufthansa miles.

When you qualify for elite status, the benefits begin immediately and continue through the following calendar year.

The elite tiers in the Miles & More program work as follows:

• Frequent Traveller: Earn 35,000 miles or 30 scheduled flights in a calendar year
• Senator: Earn 100,000 miles in a calendar year
• HON Circle: Earn 600,000 HON Circle miles in 2 consecutive calendar years

Find more details about the Lufthansa requirements for each elite tier level here .

How to Earn Lufthansa Miles

The Miles & More program offers 2 primary ways to earn airline miles:

• Earn miles from spending on Lufthansa credit cards
• Earn miles from flying with Lufthansa

While it’s challenging to earn Lufthansa miles, when you pair the options above together, you’ll at least have a couple of ways to  earn Lufthansa miles .

Earning Miles Through Flying

The Lufthansa miles you earn are based on the distance flown and the factor, which depends on your frequent flyer status and the airline operating your flight.

For example, if you fly a $290 Brussels Airlines flight from Brussels (BRU) to Berlin (TXL), you’ll earn 1,450 miles ($290 * 5 factor).

The Miles & More program calculates miles earned based on the distance flown and booking class.

For European flights, the booking class is a flat rate. For intercontinental flights, mileage is calculated by multiplying the booking class by the distance flown.

Earning Bonus Miles in Other Ways

The Miles & More program offers a few ways to earn Lufthansa miles that don’t involve flying.

For example, the airline partners with hotels like Hyatt and car rental companies like National.

Branded and Partnered Credit Cards

Lufthansa credit card.

Barclays offers a co-branded credit card for the U.S. market, and it often comes with a sizeable sign-up bonus.

Other Hotel Partner Credit Cards

Transferring other hotel points to Lufthansa will result in less than a 1:1 transfer ratio, so we don’t recommend this as a way to earn Lufthansa miles.

If you are topping off an airline account or are in a bind, transferring other hotel points to Lufthansa can be an option.

How to Redeem Lufthansa Miles

The Miles & More program uses both an award chart and a mileage calculator.

Before booking your award flight, it’s important to reference both to know the amount of miles required for your route.

Hot Tip:  If you’re looking for ways to use your Lufthansa miles, we put together a guide on the  best ways to use Lufthansa miles . 

Star Alliance Partner Awards

Since Lufthansa is in the Star Alliance, you can use Lufthansa Miles to fly on any other airline in the alliance as well.

The Lufthansa search engine requires 7,000 miles in your account to search for an award flight. Unless the miles are already in your account, we recommend using United or Aeroplan to find Star Alliance availability.

Oneworld Partner Awards

Lufthansa also partners with airlines outside of the Star Alliance like Cathay Pacific .

For Oneworld partner flights, we recommend using the British Airways and Qantas websites to search for award availability.

Booking Online

If you do not have the minimum required miles in your account, you’ll need to call Lufthansa Miles & More team at 800-581-6400 to confirm the award space you find and ticket the award flight.

Hot Tip: Child tickets for flights on Adria Airways, Austrian Airlines, Air Dolomiti, Brussels Airlines, Croatia Airlines, Eurowings, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Luxair, and SWISS can be booked at a 25% mileage discount.

Born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, Michael took his first international trip in 2013 with friends to the Bahamas. Although he didn’t travel much in his younger years, on that trip, he caught the travel bug and has been hooked ever since.

Michael first caught wind of the points and miles game in 2014 while at a bar in Washington, DC where the conversation amongst friends was quickly derailed because of an alert on a friend’s phone about a mistake fare.  That’s where the love affair with points and miles began.

Hello, how can we help you?

Loyalty is rewarded: lifetime status.

To show our appreciation for their long-term loyalty, we are rewarding our members with Frequent Traveller Lifetime and Senator Lifetime status . This means that you can now enjoy never-ending benefits that make travel more pleasant and comfortable.

How to achieve Lifetime status

Earn 30,000 Qualifying Points over the years, and you’ll automatically achieve Frequent Traveller Lifetime status. If you keep earning and accrue 40,000 Qualifying Points , you’ll achieve Senator Lifetime status.

Achieving Frequent Traveller Lifetime or Senator Lifetime status via Status Stars points

The basis for achieving Lifetime status is the sum total of all Qualifying Points that you earn over the years on flights with Lufthansa Group airlines and co-issuing Miles & More airline partners.

Naturally, your existing status membership will be taken into account. All the Status Stars points that you have earned by 31.12.2023 will be converted into Qualifying Points for achieving Frequent Traveller Lifetime or Senator Lifetime status.

One Status Stars point is equivalent to two Qualifying Points. All status customers with four or five Status Stars will therefore automatically become a Senator Lifetime at the beginning of 2024. Those who have achieved three Status Stars by the end of 2023 will be awarded Frequent Traveller Lifetime status. Your new status card will be sent to you automatically by the end of February.

From mid January 2024 , you will be able to see how many Qualifying Points you have earned to achieve Lifetime status, including the equivalent in Status Stars points, under your Miles & More status .

Frequently asked questions

Where can i see how many qualifying points i have already earned to qualify as a frequent traveller lifetime/senator lifetime.

The Qualifying Points earned towards achieving Frequent Traveller Lifetime or Senator Lifetime status can be found under your status on the Miles & More app or at miles-and-more.com from mid January.

What benefits do I get with Lifetime status?

You’ll get all the benefits of Frequent Traveller or Senator status.

Is Lifetime status really awarded for an entire lifetime?

Yes, there’s no time limit on Frequent Traveller Lifetime and Senator Lifetime status. The expiry date on your card relates solely to the card itself and not to your Lifetime status. All cards have a fixed term and are regularly exchanged. You’ll be sent a new card well before your current card expires.

As a Frequent Traveller Lifetime or Senator Lifetime, can I still achieve a higher status, for example Senator or HON Circle?

You can always go up a status, for example from Senator Lifetime to HON Circle Member or from Frequent Traveller Lifetime to Senator.

Are status customers who achieve Frequent Traveller Lifetime/Senator Lifetime required to hold a status in order to meet the criteria?

No, qualification as a Frequent Traveller Lifetime or Senator Lifetime occurs when the required number of Qualifying Points is achieved, regardless of the current status.

I already have Senator Lifetime status, so will anything about my status change after the switchover on 1.1.2024?

No, Senator Lifetime will continue to be valid for an entire lifetime under the new status programme. However, there will be a technical switchover. We’ll send you a new card with a new service card number by the end of February 2024. Miles & More Credit Card holders should be aware that when we send the new card, your credit card number will also change. Your current card will remain valid until you receive your new card. The great news is: you’ll also receive 4 upgrade vouchers (eVouchers) with the switchover.

Will there still be Status Stars?

Since Status Stars and Status Stars points will no longer exist, these will no longer be visible on your status card or the online channels. You will still have access to exclusive Status events, and long-term membership will be rewarded with Frequent Traveller Lifetime and Senator Lifetime status.

Will the card still featuring Status Stars no longer be valid from January 2024?

No, cards featuring Status Stars will remain valid.

Will I get a new bag tag without Status Stars on it?

No, bag tags will not automatically be exchanged. You can continue to use bag tags featuring Status Stars.
