What happened
Lufthansa First award availability through partner programs has not returned one month after disappearing on June 1, 2026. Previously, travelers could book Lufthansa First via partner award charts (e.g., 192,000 Avianca Lifemiles plus taxes for Frankfurt to Mexico City), but now the primary option is booking directly through Lufthansa's Miles & More program, which uses dynamic pricing. While Rove miles transfer 1:1 to Miles & More, other major transferable currencies do not. Availability in Miles & More is described as scarce, with Seats.aero showing limited premium-cabin award space and mostly economy availability for partners. Lufthansa requires at least 1,500 miles in an account to search for awards
