20% Mileage Bonus for Miles & More members: Now through March 31, 2013, Lufthansa is offering a 20% mileage bonus on award miles for their Miles & More members. They are offering this promotion as a way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Miles & More program. To be eligible, you must be one of the first 20,000 people to register for this offer and fly Lufthansa operated flights in any class of service. The offer only applies to award miles – HON Circle miles as well as status miles are excluded. There is no limit to the amount of bonus miles you can earn through this promotion.

Delta Increasing Service From Los Angeles: Delta announced that it will be adding new flights on various routes to and from Los Angeles including to Nashville, San Jose, California, and Spokane, Washington, this summer. It will also be offering service to San Jose, Costa Rica and increasing other route frequencies to markets including Puerto Vallarta and New Orleans. In addition, the airline will be offering full flat-bed BusinessElite seating on four of its seven daily transcontinental flights from New York JFK. Delta recently renovated their SkyClub at LAX, and is really trying to focus on the Los Angeles market. By this summer, Delta will have 118 daily departures to 40 nonstop destinations out of LA.

Singapore Airlines/Virgin America Partnership Announced: Earlier this year, Singapore Airlines and Virgin America began codesharing flights, and now the two airlines have announced the full details of the partnership, which includes accrual and redemption of miles on both airlines. Take a look at Virgin America’s accrual chart for  Singapore as well as Singapore’s accrual chart for travel on Virgin America. Singapore KrisFlyer members will earn 100% base miles on all Virgin America fares, whereas if you chose to credit to Virgin America your points-earning will be based on your fare. However earning Elevate points when flying Singapore Airlines isn’t as good of a value since the lowest economy classes only earn 40% mileage.
