Lufthansa Miles&More Status Match For British Airways/Iberia Elite Members (99 Euro Fee)

A few months ago we reported about a status match opportunity for British Airways and Iberia Elite members to the Lufthansa Miles&More Program which is currently available for a 99.00 Euro fee.

The status match is available from corresponding BAEC Silver/Gold and Iberia Plus Oro/Platino/Infinita to Miles&More Frequent Traveller (Star Alliance Silver) or Senator (Star Alliance Gold) at a small fee.

You can access this offer on the designated StatusMatch website here.

This is one of the more useful and valuable status match offers as it’s usually quite difficult to obtain Lufthansa Status due to the high requirement for flying activity.

The nice thing about this match is that participation is now available globally, for residents of ALL countries:

The Frequent Traveller doesn’t come with many Star Alliance benefits, but it does include lounge access when flying in economy for Lufthansa’s integrated airlines’ business lounges.

Senator is Star Alliance Gold, which includes business class check-in, an extra luggage allowance (not always on zero-bag fares), priority security, lounge access, and priority boarding on all alliance airlines.

Lufthansa Match Process:

You need to indicate your status with either British Airways or Iberia.

The form then requires you to upload proof of status and complete payment.

I didn’t proceed, at least not yet, as I already have Star Alliance Gold with Singapore Airlines this year.

Lufthansa Miles&More Elite Benefits:

The benefits for Senator members are vast and for Frequent Traveler members at least acceptable.

Conclusion

The Lufthansa Miles&More program is undergoing some changes that were announced recently, which I previously covered (read more here and here).

If you fly around Europe, escaping Lufthansa integrated airlines (Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings) is difficult, given the route network and all the carriers they have gobbled up.

This is an easy opportunity for Iberia and British Airways elite members to have their tier matched with Miles&More. I would try to get the Senator tier due to Star Alliance-wide benefits.
