<\/a><\/p>\n Per an email to their members, and the Lufthansa’s Miles and More website; you can now redeem Miles and More miles for flights on California based carrier Surf Air. The offer is for a limited time (until March 31st, 2017) and other than the time line there seems to be no other restrictions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Surf Air is the California startup that is frequently referred to as the Netflix of private flying. The model is a \u201cmember\u2019s only\u201d airline\u00a0with an all you can fly approach for\u00a0a single monthly fee. They utilize\u00a0mostly secondary private municipal locations, and the fleet is a single type aircraft that uses the PC-12 Pilatus Aircraft. The plane seats a total of 8 passengers.<\/p>\n I’ve written about Surf Air several times including:<\/p>\n Surf Air is an expensive proposition at $1,000 up front fee and then\u00a0$1,950 per month, but for that you\u00a0receive all you want flying as long as there is an available seat. It now seems that there is another option for those of you who want to experience Surf Air. From now until March 31st 2017 you can use your Miles and More miles for either a single\u00a0round trip, or an entire\u00a0month flying membership.<\/p>\n From the Miles and More website<\/p>\n Costs per the Miles and More website<\/p>\n On the one hand these costs seem a little high. If you were to value Lufthansa miles at 1.5 cents a piece, a single monthly membership would run you $2,050 to $2,250; or a single flight would range $825 to $920. Keep in mind the single flight is a round trip with only 2 segments. On the other side of the argument, both of these items can be had with no on-going contractual commitment. I totally see the novelty\u00a0of this redemption, but aside from some unique situations I’m not\u00a0sure how practical it is.<\/p>\n With\u00a0the link from the Lufthansa email, you are sent directly to the Surf Air website. With my Lufthansa membership account number and pin I was able to log directly\u00a0in, and review the membership options available for purchase with Miles and More miles.<\/p>\n\n
