Simple and transparent – the new status programme from 2024
In 2019, we announced that we would be revising our status programme – then everything changed.
On 1 January 2024, the modifications will finally be coming into effect. Our aim is to offer you an attractive and transparent programme – clear and simple. These changes will not affect the awards programme. You will still be able to earn award miles in the usual way.
Summary of the changes from 1 January 2024
Transparent Points system will replace status and HON Circle miles
To achieve status, you will earn Points, Qualifying Points and HON Circle Points for each segment flown with the Lufthansa Group airlines and the co-issuing Miles & More airline partners
Earning period and status term will be one year in the future
Frequent Traveller Lifetime and Senator Lifetime status will be rewarded for long-term loyalty
Complicated programme components will be ceased

There are now only two criteria that determine the number of Points, Qualifying Points and HON Circle Points earned on each flight segment: the distinction between continental or intercontinental flights and travel class.
For both continental and intercontinental flights, first select which travel class you will be flying. Then, in the next step, please enter how many flights you are planning with the airlines listed below.
