Frequently asked questions

Tip: if you would like information about our wide range of flight award offers, just take a look at our helpful summary Benefits when you fly and travel.

How long does it take for my miles to appear in my Miles & More account?

How long the mileage credit takes depends on whether it is for a flight, a hotel stay, a rental car booking or a purchase. Our partners send us data for credits on a regular basis.

How can I earn award miles on flights?

In order to earn award miles on flights with our many airline partners, please quote your Miles & More service card number when you make a booking. You must use the flights to receive a mileage credit. Paying for the trip alone is not sufficient.

 

Certain booking classes do not entitle you to earn miles with Miles & More. We recommend that you visit our airline pages before making a reservation.

 

If all the conditions are met, the mileage credit is made automatically within 7 working days of departure.

Where can I find the mileage calculator?

The mileage calculator allows you to calculate the miles you can expect to receive quickly and easily. It is available in two modes.

 

You can calculate your potential mileage credit for your next flight booking in the Miles & More app.

 

In addition, there is a more comprehensive calculation method available on the website. This works out your award and status miles in detail, including and in particular for flights that you have already booked where you already know the booking class and operating airline.
