A new way to achieve elite status in Miles & More
As of September 1, 1997, you can also achieve Frequent Traveller or Senator status based on the number of segments you have flown on Lufthansa and our Star Alliance partners within a calendar year.

Each Business or First Class segment you fly will count as two points, one point for each Economy Class segment. Once you have reached 40 points you will have achieved Frequent Traveller status and 120 points earns you Senator status.
