Variable mileage amounts instead of a fixed Award Flight chart
For Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City and SWISS, the mileage amounts for flight bookings from 3 June 2025 will no longer be determined by a fixed chart, but will instead be based on the ticket price set by the airline. Miles will then be calculated on the basis of the fare you choose, travel class, route, the timing of your flight and when you book.
More fare options
The changes mean you’ll also be able to choose between Light, Classic and Flex fares for flights within Europe and Light, Basic, Basic Plus and Flex fares for intercontinental flights. Depending on the fare, you’ll be offered various baggage and seating options. Different rules and fees for cancellations and rebookings will also apply. You’ll then be able to tailor your Award Flights to your travel needs more flexibly.
For bookings from 3 June 2025, your status benefits as a frequent flyer will depend on the Award Flight fare as well as the terms and conditions on which the airline fares are based.
Mileage amounts and availability
These changes may lead to greater availability on some routes. You’ll also benefit from particularly low mileage amounts for Economy Class on some routes. On the other hand, you may need higher mileage amounts on certain routes that are in high demand.
Further simplifications
We’ll also be simplifying the way we structure our offer. Products like Flex Plus and mileage bargains will no longer be available for Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City and SWISS. Of course, we’re working hard to continually expand our offerings and make them more attractive for you.
For the time being, it will not be possible to redeem miles for taxes, fees and airline surcharges with any airlines.
Changes to the Award Flight chart
The Award Flight chart will continue to determine the mileage amounts for Star Alliance and Miles & More airline partners (except for Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City and SWISS). For bookings from 3 June 2025, we’ll be adjusting the mileage amounts in line with current prices for the first time since 2019.
Updating the chart means we’ll be able to offer you lower and more attractive mileage amounts on some routes in Economy Class. It also means that on certain routes, in the higher travel classes in particular, the mileage amounts will be higher.
The most important changes
Economy Class
In future, you’ll need fewer miles in Economy Class within Europe and up to 10,000 miles less for Award Flights on many long-haul routes. A slight increase in mileage amounts will only apply to flights to the Middle East, North and Central Africa, the Caucasus, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
Premium Economy Class
In Central America, the Caribbean, South America, North and Central Africa, the Middle East and the Caucasus, mileage amounts will remain the same in Premium Economy Class. For other regions, you’ll need 5,000 miles more for an Award Flight.
Business Class
On European routes, mileage amounts will remain the same in Business Class. Outside Europe, the amounts will increase depending on the destination and distance. For example, the mileage amounts for flights to the Middle East and Africa will only increase slightly by 5,000 miles, while you may need significantly more miles for longer routes, such as flights to South East Asia.
First Class
First Class Award Flights are exclusive offers that are only available with a few airline partners. Due to the exclusive nature of these offers, you’ll need to redeem more miles.
World Award Flight and 3-region Award Flight
The mileage amounts for World Award Flight and 3-region Award Flight bookings will depend on the booking class. You can find the exact amounts in the Award Flight chart valid from 3 June 2025.
With these changes, we’re taking further steps towards a new world of Award Flights. We’re also constantly working on additional features to enhance your booking experience.
