Look forward to flexible mileage amounts and a greater choice of fares with Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City and SWISS

Dear Mr. Dierickx,
The miles you’ve earned can help you make your travel dreams come true. That’s also why our Award Flights are so popular. For bookings from 3 June 2025, you can look forward to changes that will give you more flexible fare options.
For flights with Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City and SWISS, the fixed mileage amounts in the Award Flight chart will be replaced with flexible mileage amounts. The 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 – exactly the same as when you book flights through the airlines.
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.
In future, you’ll be able to decide whether you want your Award Flight booking to include baggage, a seat reservation or the option to rebook. You’ll be able to see all available options along with the relevant mileage amount as soon as you make a booking request.
For Brussels Airlines, Eurowings and all other Miles & More airline partners, the Award Flight chart (with updated mileage amounts) will continue to apply. |

New Award Flight chart for Miles & More airline partners
|
|
The current Award Flight chart hasn’t changed since 2019. For bookings from 3 June 2025, we’ll be adjusting the fixed mileage amounts in line with current price trends.
This means that for the higher travel classes in particular, you’ll need higher mileage amounts for Award Flights. At the same time, many Award Flights in Economy Class will cost less, so you’ll need fewer miles than before.
From 3 June 2025, the amounts in the Award Flight chart will no longer apply to bookings with Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, Lufthansa City and SWISS. Mileage bargains will also no longer be available for these airlines. Instead, we’re working hard to bring you more offers, features and fares that will improve your booking experience. |
|
|
We’re looking forward to creating a new era of Award Flights with you. Our goal is to offer you a more personalised travel experience that helps you fulfil your travel dreams with miles as often as possible.
Your Miles & More Team |
