Earning miles
•
Earn Mileage Plus miles on all qualifying Lufthansa flights, except as noted in the chart below. You'll earn miles according to the booking class that you purchase.
•
The miles you earn on Lufthansa qualify toward Mileage Plus elite status, and you'll earn 50% bonus elite status miles for all paid first, business or full economy class flights. (You'll also earn the 50% bonus if you traveled on a Lufthansa transatlantic flight on or before March 31, 2010.)
•
Also, non-elite members will earn actual miles flown on Lufthansa. (For flights prior to April 1, there is a 500-mile minimum award.)
•
It's easy to earn miles for your flight. Simply provide your Mileage Plus number when you make your reservation, and make sure that it appears on your boarding pass at check-in.
•
Save your boarding pass until flight miles have been credited to your account. If your miles haven't been credited within three weeks, you may request credit online within 12 months of your travel date.

Exceptions
•
If you purchase a ticket on a flight that is marketed by Lufthansa but operated by another airline (known as a code-share flight), the operating airline determines how many miles you earn for your flight.
•
Note that the booking class that appears on your ticket may differ from the booking class that the operating airline uses to determine flight miles earned.
