1. What is Miles And More Points Calculation?

The Miles And More Points calculation determines award miles or points earned based on flight distance and fare class. This system helps frequent flyers track and maximize their loyalty program benefits across different travel classes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

\[ Points = Distance \times Class Multiplier \]

Where:

\( Points \) — Award miles or points earned
