Miles & More: Change of award miles

In the future, the price of flights will be the new basis of calculation, only in exceptional cases will miles continue to be awarded for routes.

Lufthansa, Austrian, SWISS, Brussels Airlines and Eurowings together with Miles & More will introduce a revenue-based system for calculating award miles for flight bookings. For flights booked from March 12, 2018, the fare will be the new basis of calculation (issued for airlines within the Lufthansa Group!). There are exceptions when booking through an Alliance partner. If, for example, a Lufthansa flight is issued with a ticket from a Star Alliance partner (e.g., “operated by Air Canada”), the existing route-based system will be used. The old calculation will also be used for status, select and HON Circle miles. When booking through our Business Travel Center, the same process applies. Details about the new calculation model from Miles & More can be found here.
