Lufthansa Miles & More can be useful for Lufthansa Group travel and eligible Star Alliance awards, but the cash portion of a redemption and the program's current account rules deserve as much attention as the mileage price.

Evaluate the complete award cost

Search the exact itinerary and compare miles, taxes, carrier charges, schedule, and cabin with alternatives. The Miles & More award-chart data provides current context, but the all-in price at ticketing determines the value.

Earning and account rules

Eligible flights, co-branded cards and partners where available, and other supported channels can earn miles. Before transferring or buying miles, verify the program's current expiration, status, and account policies. The Lufthansa program page is the live CardCurator entry point.

Are high carrier charges always a deal-breaker?

Not necessarily, but they must be compared against the cash fare and other award programs. A low mileage number is not enough by itself.
