1. What is Miles & More?

Miles & More is a frequent flyer program that allows passengers to earn miles based on flight distance and fare class. These miles can be redeemed for flights, upgrades, and other rewards.

• \( Earning\ Rate \) — Miles earned per mile flown (varies by fare class and status)
