How are award miles calculated under the revenue-based system? Under the revenue-based system your award miles will be calculated as follows: fare (ticket price + surcharges levied by the Miles & More partner airline) x factor = number of award miles earned. You will find information about flights on which miles cannot be earned here.Which multiplying factor applies in the revenue-based system to Miles & More members? If you are a Miles & More member, but not yet a Frequent Traveller, Senator or HON Circle Member, then a multiplying factor of 4 will always be used.Which factor applies to Frequent Travellers, Senators or HON Circle Members? For members with frequent flyer status, the criterion is which airline operates the flight. If the flight is operated by Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, United Airlines, Air Canada, LOT Polish Airlines, Croatia Airlines, Adria Airlines or Air Dolomiti, then the multiplying factor is 6; for Brussels Airlines and Eurowings and all other Miles & More partner airlines, the factor is 5. You will find information on the Miles & More partner airlines here.
Interesting that they don't give preference to higher status members.Multiplier of 4 is less than United IIRC. Also, price is based off Euros, making it even less
they do, 5 or 6 miles per euro depending on the operating airline
But all status is the same, nothing extra for higher levels of status
