Miles & More, the loyalty program of the Lufthansa Group, now awards miles and points for more sustainable flying with bookable CO2-offsetting packages. By choosing to fly more sustainably, according to an announcement, customers can now achieve frequent flyer status more quickly.
Since 2023, Miles & More members have been able to earn extra miles and points when booking the Green Fares tariff. This is now also possible with CO2-offsetting packages, which can also be redeemed with miles that have already been earned. With this step, said an announcement, Miles & More aims to encourage its customers to make more sustainable travel choices and thus contribute personally to climate protection.
The offers include the full offset of calculated individual flight-related CO2 emissions: through the subsequent use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and a contribution to the Lufthansa Group’s high-quality climate project portfolio.
Depending on the SAF share booked, up to 80% more points and qualifying points and up to 20% more HON Circle points can be collected when choosing a CO2-offsetting package in addition to the points credited for the flight. HON is the group’s highest tier of loyalty. The higher the SAF proportion, the more points are credited. Additionally, members can earn up to six miles per euro spent.
Dieter Vranckx, chief commercial officer, said, “We want to further raise awareness among our customers for more sustainable flying.” The goal, he said, is to respond to passengers’ wishes with a wide range of offers and to provide them with attractive benefits.
CO2-offsetting packages can be booked directly during flight booking, before departure in the personal booking area, and even after the flight on the websites of Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Lufthansa and Swiss. They can also be booked after the flight via the Miles & More app or on miles-and-more.com. Additional miles and points are now automatically awarded for all newly booked additional packages.
