Frequently asked questions

Select your departure and arrival airports using the search fields (IATA code, city name, or country). Choose your cabin class and airline, then click "Add Flight". For a return trip, switch the toggle to "Return" — both legs are added at once.

If your itinerary has a connection (e.g. ZRH → FRA → JFK), click "+ Add Via" and enter the connecting airport. MileHunter splits the trip into individual segments and calculates points for each leg separately.

Yes — the date field is optional. When left blank the flight is included in the currently selected qualifying year. For accurate year-filtering we recommend entering the travel date.

Miles & More awards bonus status points when you book a flight with a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) contribution. The bonus ranges from +5 % to +80 % of your base points (and QP). The HON Circle bonus is capped at +20 %. This option only appears for Lufthansa Group airlines (SWISS, Lufthansa, Austrian, Brussels, etc.) and Eurowings (via PlanetBlu).

Yes. Every entry in the flight log has an edit (✎) and a delete button. Editing reopens the full form so you can change the route, cabin, airline, date, or points; deleting removes the entry after a confirmation.

Use the pause (⏸) button on any entry to temporarily exclude it from your status totals. The flight stays in the log, greyed out, and you can resume (▶) it anytime — handy for cancelled or "what-if" flights.

Status points (pts) are the primary currency for reaching Frequent Traveller, Senator, and HON Circle status. Every eligible flight earns a fixed number of points based on your cabin class and whether the route is continental or intercontinental.

Qualifying Points are a second requirement alongside status points — you need both to reach Senator or Frequent Traveller. QP are only earned on M&M partner airlines (Lufthansa Group, LOT, Croatia Airlines, Luxair, ITA Airways). Non-partner airlines earn regular status points but zero QP.

HON Circle Points are required to reach and maintain the exclusive HON Circle status (6,000 HCP per year). They are earned only in Business or First Class on QP-eligible airlines. The HON status card on the dashboard tracks your HCP progress separately.

A flight is continental when both airports are in the same M&M region (e.g. Europe → Europe, or Asia & Pacific → Asia & Pacific). When the two airports are in different regions the flight is intercontinental and earns significantly more points. North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya) counts as Europe for M&M purposes.

Economy: 20 pts continental / 60 pts intercontinental · Premium Economy: 20 / 80 · Business: 40 / 200 · First Class: 40 / 400. QP are equal to status points for QP-eligible airlines. HON Circle Points equal QP for Business and First Class only.

Frequent Traveller: 650 pts + 325 QP · Senator: 2,000 pts + 1,000 QP · HON Circle: 6,000 HCP (no QP requirement). All thresholds reset on 1 January each year.

Miles & More counts status points from 1 January to 31 December each calendar year. Points do not roll over — you start fresh every year. MileHunter defaults to showing the current year so your progress cards always reflect your real standing.

The pill buttons above the status cards let you switch between years. Selecting a year filters the status cards, the timeline, and the flight log to only show and count flights from that period. Flights without a date are always included in the selected year.

Select "All" in the year filter to see your lifetime totals across all recorded years. Year buttons appear automatically as soon as you have flights with dates from more than one calendar year.

Open your Miles & More account, go to the Status Activities page, select all entries, and copy them. In MileHunter click "Import" → "M&M Portal Import", paste the text into the box, review the preview table, and confirm. Points, QP, and HON Circle Points are parsed automatically — including promotion bonuses.

"Export" saves all your flights as a JSON file to your device. "Import" → "JSON Backup" restores from that file. Note: importing a JSON backup replaces all existing flights, so use it for migrations or fresh setups rather than as a sync mechanism.

Three types: regular flights (calculated from route + cabin), bonus entries (manual point adjustments for promotions or status matches), and M&M Portal imports (parsed directly from your activity history). All three count toward your status totals.
