New conditions for Miles & More flight awards in Europe
Flight awards are Miles & More’s most popular awards. We are now focussing even more on the wishes of our many members and offer award flights with improved conditions from 15 September 2016.
Lower additional payment for award flights
For award flights on Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines and SWISS within Europe, Miles & More members will pay a significantly lower surcharge from 15 September 2016 - just 5 Euro instead of 40 Euro per flight segment in Economy Class and just 20 Euro instead of 43 Euro per flight segment in Business Class.*
All Miles & More flight awards, including mileage bargains, will require an additional 5,000 award miles for an outbound and a return flight.**
An example of a Lufthansa flight award from Frankfurt to Rome
(outbound and return flight) in Economy Class (as of May 2016)
Up to 14 September 2016: 30,000 miles + additional payment of €157.26 (taxes, fees and surcharge)
From 15 September 2016: 35,000 miles + additional payment of €87.26 (taxes, fees and surcharge)
Maintaining proven benefits for you
If you decide to take an award flight within Europe at short notice, the Fly Smart Flight Award will also be available in future for 20,000 miles in Economy Class as well as for 30,000 miles in Business Class. In addition, award miles can, as usual, be redeemed to pay for taxes, fees and surcharge. From September, only 15,000 instead of the previous 18,000 awards miles will be sufficient for all Economy and Business Class flight awards, including transfer connections within Europe. This reduction is valid for all Lufthansa and selected Miles & More airline partner flight award bookings.***
All above mentioned changes will come into effect for bookings (ticket issuance) of flight awards within Europe from 15 September 2016. Award flights booked (issued) before then, even if they are for departures after 15 September 2016, are subject to the currently valid conditions.

* National/international surcharge.
** Valid for the outbound and return flight in Economy or Business Class on all Miles & More partner airlines; one-way flight awards and children’s flight awards will be increased proportionally.
