Just a quick reminder that September 15th is the last day to enter the competition that Lufthansa is running to promote the new website and app for their JetFriends childrens club.
There is an iPad up for grabs as the main prize.
The competition is UK-only so you have a decent chance of winning.
About JetFriends
If you are in your 40’s and had parents wealthy enough to pay the cost of flights in the 1970’s and 1980’s, you may remember Junior Jet Club. This was the last time that British Airways tried seriously to build a long term relationship with young flyers.
Fast forward 30 years, and Lufthansa is the best European airline when it comes to having a dedicated club for children. Their JetFriends scheme has been running for many years as part of the Miles & More programme.
Lufthansa recently relaunched the JetFriends website at www.jetfriends.com. It is split into two areas – a part for children aged 2-10 with educational games and an interactive sticker album, and an older section for 11-17 year olds which allows them to explore the concept of freedom and travel. Older kids can complete My JetWorld with online pins to show where they have visited, as well as uploading photographs and discussing their experiences.
Enrolling your kids (aged 2-17) for JetFriends has another advantage. Their membership card doubles as a Miles & More membership card. This allows your children to collect miles when flying on Lufthansa and other Star Alliance airlines. These miles do not expire as long as they remain members of JetFriends which is an advantage over a standard Miles & More account.

How to earn Star Alliance miles from UK credit cards (January 2025)
None of the Star Alliance airlines currently have a UK credit card.
There is, however, still a way to earn Star Alliance miles from a UK credit card.
The route is via Marriott Bonvoy. Marriott Bonvoy hotel loyalty points convert to over 40 airlines at the rate of 3:1.
The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points is via the official Marriott Bonvoy American Express card. It comes with 20,000 points for signing up and 2 points for every £1 you spend. At 2 Bonvoy points per £1, you are earning (at 3:1) 0.66 airline miles per £1 spent on the card.
There is a preferential conversion rate to United Airlines – which is a Star Alliance member – of 2 : 1 if you convert 60,000 Bonvoy points at once.
The Star Alliance members which are Marriott Bonvoy transfer partners are: Aegean, Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Avianca, Copa Airlines, Singapore Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines and United Airlines.
