Sometimes we can talk about good news here, sometimes we have to talk about bad ones - but today we have an outright catastrophe: bmi will terminate its Frequent Flyer Program Diamond Club towards June 2011 and merge it into the program of its new owner Lufthansa, Miles & More. While miles and elite status will be honoured, the problem is that one of the most attractive programs will disappear from the market like that. Instead of 38,000 miles for Gold status, one will then require 100,000 (130,000 for members in Germany), Economy Class award flights within Europe will then no longer start at 9,000 miles, but cost up to 40,000 miles for same-day returns etc. The only solution for the big number of Diamond Club members can therefore only be to use all miles prior to the merger in order to avoid a massive devaluation - and then to reposition themselves within or outside of the Star Alliance.
