1. What is the Miles & More Award Calculator?

The Miles & More Award Calculator calculates the number of award miles earned in the Lufthansa Miles & More frequent flyer program based on flight distance, travel class, and member status level.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Miles & More award miles formula:

\[ Miles = Distance \times Class\ Factor \times Status\ Multiplier \]

Where:

\( Distance \) — Flight distance in miles
\( Class\ Factor \) — Travel class multiplier (1.0-2.0)
\( Status\ Multiplier \) — Member status multiplier (1.0-2.0)

Explanation: The formula calculates award miles by multiplying the base flight distance by factors that account for travel class and frequent flyer status level.

3. Importance of Award Miles Calculation

Details: Accurate award miles calculation helps members track their progress toward elite status, plan award redemptions, and maximize the value of their flying activity within the Miles & More program.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter flight distance in miles, select appropriate class factor based on your travel class, and choose status multiplier according to your Miles & More membership level. All values must be valid positive numbers.
