How many award miles does a Lufthansa flight earn with Miles and More?

4 award miles per euro of the airfare, or 6 per euro with Frequent Traveller, Senator or HON Circle status, and at least 125 miles per flight. The airfare is the ticket price plus the surcharges the airline adds, without taxes. The same applies to SWISS, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines, on a ticket bought from a Lufthansa Group airline.

What if my Lufthansa ticket was issued by another airline?

Then the miles come from the booking class, unless the ticket number starts with 220, 724, 257, 082 or 101. Within one European country M earns 500 miles, between European countries 1,250, and on Worldwide flights 100% of the distance, at least 500. A, F, I, O, R and X earn nothing on Austrian and Brussels Airlines; I, O, R and X earn nothing on Lufthansa and SWISS.

How many Points and Qualifying Points does a flight earn?

A fixed number per flight segment by cabin. Continental flights earn 20 in Economy and Premium Economy and 40 in Business and First. Intercontinental flights earn 60 in Economy, 80 in Premium Economy, 200 in Business and 400 in First. Business and First also earn the same number of HON Circle Points.

What counts as a continental flight?

A flight whose departure and arrival airports are on the same continent, domestic flights included. Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia count as Europe, so Casablanca to Frankfurt is continental.

How do I reach Frequent Traveller, Senator or HON Circle?

In one calendar year: Frequent Traveller needs 650 Points and 325 Qualifying Points, Senator 2,000 Points and 1,000 Qualifying Points, and HON Circle 6,000 HON Circle Points.

Does a connection earn more Points?

Yes. Each flight segment earns on its own. Zurich to Bangkok nonstop in Business earns 200 Points; via Munich it earns 240, 40 for the continental flight and 200 for the intercontinental one.

Lufthansa fare classes

With Miles & More, a Lufthansa flight earns award miles in one of two ways. A ticket bought from a Lufthansa Group airline earns on the fare you paid; a ticket issued by another airline earns by booking class, as in the table below: a fixed number of miles within Europe, and a share of the distance flown, with a minimum, everywhere else. Every flight also earns a fixed number of Points and Qualifying Points by cabin and by whether it is continental or intercontinental.

Miles & More's booking-class miles for flights operated by Lufthansa, as it publishes them. The table is used when the ticket was issued by another airline, or by an agency on a ticket number that does not start with 220, 724, 257, 082 or 101; see Award miles for the fare method. Worldwide means a flight to, from or between places outside Europe; it earns the percentage of the distance flown, or the minimum shown if that is more. Within Europe the miles are fixed, whatever the distance; Premium Economy and First are listed only for Worldwide flights. SWISS publishes the same table. Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines publish it too, without First: on them A and F earn no miles (Brussels lists no table for flights within Belgium). Points come by cabin and are the same whichever way the miles are counted; some flight numbers and booking classes earn no Points. Award tickets and industry discount tickets earn nothing.

Award miles

For a ticket bought from a Lufthansa Group airline, award miles are counted on the airfare in euros: the ticket price plus the surcharges the airline adds, without taxes. Miles & More converts a fare in another currency itself.

Your status	Award miles per euro	Minimum per flight
Member (no status)	4	125
Frequent Traveller, Senator, HON Circle	6	125

Which tickets earn by fare. Tickets bought from a Lufthansa Group airline (Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Air Dolomiti, Discover Airlines, Eurowings, Lufthansa City), agency tickets whose number starts with 220 (Lufthansa), 724 (SWISS), 257 (Austrian), 082 (Brussels Airlines) or 101 (Air Dolomiti), and Eurowings tickets. Any other ticket earns by booking class: the fare class table above.
The same on all four airlines. The factors apply to flights operated by Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines.
Upgrades bought online or by phone earn on the upgrade price at the same 4 or 6 miles per euro; seat, baggage and other extras earn nothing.
Example: a €1,000 fare earns 4,000 award miles without status, or 6,000 with Frequent Traveller, Senator or HON Circle status.
The final credit can differ by airline, booking class, status and fare.

Points, Qualifying Points and HON Circle Points

Each flight segment earns a fixed number of Points and Qualifying Points, the same for every member. Business and First also earn the same number of HON Circle Points.

Per flight	Economy	Premium Economy	Business	First
Continental	20	20	40	40
Intercontinental	60	80	200	400

Continental means the departure and arrival airports are on the same continent, domestic flights included. Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia count as Europe. Intercontinental means two different continents.
Each flight counts. Zurich to Bangkok in Business on SWISS earns 200 Points, 200 Qualifying Points and 200 HON Circle Points. Zurich to Munich to Bangkok earns 240 of each.
Lufthansa Group and co-issuing partners only for Qualifying Points. Points come from Lufthansa Group airlines, Miles & More's co-issuing partners and Star Alliance airlines; Qualifying Points and HON Circle Points only from the Lufthansa Group and the co-issuing partners. Frankfurt to Bangkok in Economy on Thai Airways earns 60 Points only.
