Lufthansa Miles & More Experiences

Redeem points for experiencesRedeem with milesEurope

Miles & More Experiences (the program's "event awards") lets Lufthansa Group loyalty members spend miles on exclusive cultural, culinary, and sporting events across Europe instead of cashing them in for flights. Think opera nights at Frankfurt's Alte Oper, productions at the Arena di Verona, gourmet menus, and up-close motorsport - each bundled with member-only extras. It is a rotating, access-flavored use for miles that would otherwise just buy economy seats.

What you can redeem for

The event awards portfolio rotates but consistently spans three lanes:

  • Cultural - concert evenings at Frankfurt's Alte Oper and world-famous opera at the Arena di Verona, plus other performances.
  • Culinary - haute cuisine and gourmet menus, plus curated sommelier/wine tastings.
  • Sporting - motorsport racing experienced up close and chances to meet top sporting legends.

Every event comes with "that little bit extra" - exclusive guided tours, catering, and other member-only touches built into the package.

How it works

It is a fixed-miles redemption, not an auction. You browse the live event highlights on the Miles & More site, pick one that is currently available, and pay with your miles - "only your miles make participation possible." Each listing shows its own mile price (inventory and pricing rotate by event). Across the wider program, Cash & Miles lets you top up with euros if you are short, though core event pricing is mile-based. Many packages let you bring up to three additional family members or friends on the same redemption.

Who's eligible & how to access

Open to all Miles & More members - no elite tier or specific co-brand card required. Membership is free to join on the Miles & More site, and the program is the loyalty scheme for Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, and other Lufthansa Group carriers. You just need a mile balance and an account; browse and book the event awards directly while logged in.

Standout examples

Specific listings rotate, but recurring marquee categories on the official events page include:

  • Concert evenings at the Alte Oper Frankfurt.
  • World-famous opera productions at the Arena di Verona.
  • Up-close motorsport experiences and meet-and-greets with sporting legends.
  • Haute cuisine gourmet menus and sommelier-led tastings.

Good to know

Inventory is a rotating set of "highlights currently available," so the catalog changes - check back rather than expecting a fixed menu. Events skew heavily European (Frankfurt, Verona, and other Lufthansa Group home markets), which matters if you are redeeming from the US. Packages frequently include extras (guided tours, catering) and let you bring up to three guests. Mile prices are set per event. Refund and change terms are event-specific - confirm before booking, since event tickets are typically far less flexible than award flights. Find inventory under Spend > Events at miles-and-more.com.

Our take

Worth knowing because it turns miles into genuine access - opera, motorsport, and gourmet experiences with member-only extras and guests included - rather than another economy seat. The catch is the European concentration, so it shines most when you are already traveling there or based nearby.
