Miles & More introduces miles and Points for CO₂-offsetting packages - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

Miles & More, the loyalty programme of the Lufthansa Group, has introduced new incentives for sustainable travel. For the first time, members earn miles and Points when purchasing CO₂-offsetting packages. The new service complements existing “Green Fares” and allows travellers to achieve their desired status or rewards more quickly while supporting climate protection.

Incentives for sustainable choices

Offsetting packages cover the full flight-related CO₂ emissions through a combination of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and contributions to the Lufthansa Group’s certified climate project portfolio. Depending on the SAF share booked, members can earn up to 80% more Points and Qualifying Points and up to 20% more HON Circle Points, in addition to the regular flight credit. Up to six award miles per euro spent are also available.

Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer of Lufthansa Group, said:

“We want to further raise awareness among our customers for more sustainable flying. Our goal is to respond to passengers’ wishes with a wide range of offers and attractive benefits. By choosing to offset CO₂, Miles & More members can collect additional miles and Points and reach their status or desired reward faster. With our numerous offers for sustainable flying, the Lufthansa Group is a global pioneer.”

Flexible booking before and after flights

Packages can be booked during flight booking, in the personal booking area before departure, or even after the flight – on the websites of Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Lufthansa, SWISS, via the Miles & More app, or on miles-and-more.com. Retroactive credit will also be granted for all offsetting packages purchased since January 2025.

SAF and climate project portfolio

SAF is blended with fossil kerosene before reaching airports and reduces lifecycle CO₂ emissions by at least 80% compared to conventional jet fuel. The Lufthansa Group ensures the purchased SAF amount is introduced into flight operations within six months.

For compensation, the Group draws on a diversified climate project portfolio, currently comprising 18 projects certified to the highest international standards (e.g. Gold Standard). In addition to nature-based projects, it also supports innovative technology-based solutions such as CO₂ capture and storage in concrete and biochar projects, helping to advance long-term CO₂ removal methods.
