Rather than moving to a spend-based program like its U.S. counterparts, Lufthansa settled on a different approach. Two travelers, flying the same cabin and same route, would earn the same number of status points regardless of how much each ticket cost. Under these conditions, business travelers who book flights on short notice (paying high prices for their tickets) would earn status points at the same rate as their leisure traveler counterparts who book far in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the most glaring opportunity to rack up the most Qualifying Points and HON Circle Points comes from short flights between Europe and nearby areas outside of Europe. Business class costs far less for short-haul flights than for long-haul flights. But, provided both routes are intercontinental, they earn the same amount of points.<\/p>\n<p>Some airline programs group Israel into Europe for award chart purposes. However, Lufthansa does not, providing a nearby destination for inexpensive business-class flights. Travelers probably want to avoid travel to Israel in the near future given current events, but the point remains regarding (relatively) inexpensive short-haul business class flights:<\/p>\n<p><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/146\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-134798 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NewMilesMore_ExampleItinerary-1024x199.png\" alt=\"Example of a short-haul, intercontinental business class flight under Lufthansa's new status program, paying $442 for Tel Aviv to Frankfurt\" width=\"750\" height=\"146\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NewMilesMore_ExampleItinerary-1024x199.png 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NewMilesMore_ExampleItinerary-300x58.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NewMilesMore_ExampleItinerary-768x149.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NewMilesMore_ExampleItinerary.png 1298w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The same applies to the example above, where the calculator said Panama to Colombia counts as intercontinental travel.<\/p>\n<p>Changes shouldn't affect the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/news\/airlines\/miles-more-mileage-bargains\/\" rel=\"noopener\">monthly Mileage Bargains award deals<\/a>.
