Booking Eurowings With Miles 2026: Award Flights From 7,500 Miles, Mileage Bargains & Cash & Miles

Quick answer: Eurowings flights can be booked with Miles & More miles in two ways. Via the Eurowings award flight tool (log in with your Miles & More service card) you get one-way flights from 7,500 miles in the Basic fare to 210 destinations, as BASIC, SMART or BIZclass and freely combinable for outbound and return. Via the Miles & More flight search, by contrast, the Star Alliance award table applies with 28,000 miles for a European round-trip in Economy. On top come mileage bargains from 6,000 miles (up to 50% cheaper, changing monthly) and Cash & Miles from 3,000 miles as part-payment. Taxes and fees are always added.

Eurowings is the Lufthansa Group airline that mile collectors overlook most often. Yet it is a perfect fit for smaller mileage balances: with 7,500 miles you already get a flight, while at Lufthansa itself even the cheapest European award costs considerably more. This guide explains the two booking routes, the fares, the mileage bargains and why Eurowings flights also count towards Miles & More status.

As of 6 September 2026: All values come from eurowings.com (award flight pages and the official award table) and the Miles & More Award Flights table (as of 3 March 2026). Mileage bargains change monthly.

Two Routes, One Program: Where to Book Eurowings Awards

The Eurowings award values refer to one-way flights. Anyone targeting a destination like Mallorca, Lisbon or Vienna gets away with 18,000 miles for a round-trip via the Eurowings tool (twice 9,000 in the Basic fare, within Germany twice 7,500), while the award table at Miles & More sets 28,000 miles for European round-trips in Economy (domestic 25,000, Business 50,000 or 40,000 within one country). For Eurowings flights, the Eurowings tool is therefore almost always the cheaper route.

For beginners: If you are just starting out and wondering where 7,500 miles are supposed to come from, the free guide explains the three points worlds and the best free cards in one PDF, the same basics that this article builds on.

The Three Eurowings Fares on Award Flights

Unlike at Lufthansa, on Eurowings awards you choose between the regular Eurowings products:

Zone (one-way)	BASIC	SMART	BIZclass
Short-haul / domestic Germany	7,500	12,500	20,000
Short/medium-haul / Europe	9,000	14,000	25,000
Long-haul / Middle East (incl. UAE and Saudi Arabia)	16,000	21,000	37,500

BASIC is the flight with hand luggage, SMART adds a checked bag, seat selection and a snack, BIZclass the free middle seat, lounge access, priority and catering. The products can be mixed freely for outbound and return, for example outbound BASIC with hand luggage and return SMART with a suitcase. All values are per direction and come from the Eurowings award table (as of 6 September 2026).

Fly Smart: Reduced SMART and BIZclass Awards

In addition, Eurowings offers “Fly Smart” award flights in the SMART and BIZclass fares that cost fewer miles than the regular awards. Fixed conditions apply:

• Online booking only, between two weeks and two business days before departure
• For intercontinental destinations a minimum stay of seven days
• Within Germany and Europe the earliest return is the Sunday after the start of the trip
• Outbound and return must be booked in the same fare (e.g. SMART and SMART)
• No rebooking, no cancellation

If you travel at short notice with a fixed weekend plan, you get SMART or BIZclass below the regular mileage price. The specific Fly Smart price is only shown in the flight search after logging in.

Important: As with every award flight, you pay taxes, fees and airline surcharges additionally by card. On Eurowings short-haul these are usually two-digit amounts, which still make the award flight considerably cheaper than a cash ticket in the holiday season.

Mileage Bargains: From 6,000 Miles

Every month Miles & More publishes mileage bargains (“Meilenschnäppchen”), reduced award flights on selected airlines. Eurowings is regularly among them, together with Brussels Airlines, Croatia Airlines, ITA Airways, LOT and Luxair. The offers apply to a fixed booking and travel period and, according to Eurowings, start from 6,000 miles and are up to 50% cheaper than the regular award price.

How to find them:

1. On miles-and-more.com under “Spend miles → Flights”, open the mileage bargains section
2. Filter by airline (Eurowings) and departure airport
3. Note the booking and travel period, the bargains usually only run for a few weeks
4. Availability is limited, popular destinations sell out quickly at the start of the month

If you are flexible, mileage bargains get you the lowest mileage price available anywhere in the Lufthansa Group.

Cash & Miles: Miles as Part-Payment

If your balance is not enough for a complete award flight, at Eurowings you can pay part of the ticket price with miles from a balance of 3,000 miles. This works directly in the normal booking on eurowings.com. The value per mile with Cash & Miles is lower than with a full award flight, but it is the easiest way to use up small leftover balances sensibly instead of letting them expire.

Eurowings Flights Count Towards Miles & More Status

A point that often gets lost: on Eurowings flights you earn not only miles but also Points, Qualifying Points and HON Circle Points for Miles & More frequent flyer status. Eurowings itself does the math: three round-trips in BIZclass on the medium-haul to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Jeddah plus one domestic flight are enough for Frequent Traveller, five BIZclass round-trips for Senator, 15 for HON Circle. HON Circle Points are only awarded in the BIZclass fare.

Two extras on top:

• PlanetBlu: Anyone who buys a package with sustainable aviation fuel when booking gets up to 50% additional Points and Qualifying Points (Light +5%, Plus +10%, Pro +50%) and in BIZclass up to 20% additional HON Circle Points.
• Eurowings Holidays: On package holidays with flight and hotel you earn 1 mile per euro spent on the entire trip price.

How the Points system has worked since 2024 and which thresholds apply is explained in the status section of the Miles & More credit card review.

Step by Step: Booking a Eurowings Award Flight

1. Check your miles. At least 7,500 miles for a one-way flight in the Basic fare, 15,000 for a round-trip.
2. On eurowings.com, open the “Miles & More → Redeem miles” section and log in with your service card number and PIN.
3. Enter route and date. The search shows the mileage prices for BASIC, SMART and BIZclass per direction, 7,500 to 37,500 miles according to the table depending on zone and fare.
4. Combine fares and book. The miles are deducted from your Miles & More account, taxes and fees paid by card.
5. Alternatively check mileage bargains on miles-and-more.com if you are flexible on the destination.

Where the Miles Come From

You do not need a frequent flyer career for 7,500 miles:

• Welcome bonus of the Miles & More Gold Credit Card*: 4,000 miles plus 40 Points (promotion until 31 December 2026). The Blue Credit Card brings 500 miles and, if applied for by 30 September 2026, comes with twelve months without a card fee.
