Some of you friends can tell me about a FF program that takes LTU, as I think they don't have their own, I flew them for the first time in late March and will fly them again soon: My route FRA or Stuttgart to Palma de Mallorca 2 or 3 times a year.
Thanks for your help and advise

LTU caters primarily to the charter passengers, and as far as I know does not have its own FF programme or connect with any alliance.
Believe me; I've tried the same with its Scandinavian counterparts Premiair, Britannia, Sterling Airways etc.
Maybe you could try Condor, Lufthansa's subsidiary??

VIKING:
Will Condor credit my flying with LH if I use them from Germany to Mallorca?????
NO (and LTU is a Swissair daughter - troubling the SR Group Holding with big losses in the past two years) http://216.167.74.240/forum/frown.gif
and NO - you wwill not get SR-Qualiflier miles either http://216.167.74.240/forum/frown.gif
but ... enjoy the flight and holidays anyway http://216.167.74.240/forum/frown.gif
Yes, Lufthansa will credit M&M miles for your Condor flight. (Info from the LH web page, I have not tried it myself)
Have a nice trip

LTU: no miles earning possibilities, but you can use your qualiflyer miles on LTU
Condor: reduced miles earning possibility with LH, and you can use your LH miles on Condor

LTU or Condor don't have a FF program. Having an account with M&M will get you miles when flying Condor and you can get free fligths using your M&M miles - that's it.
Here is the skinny on LTU (flew them 1st class on my honeymoon to the Maldives awesome) You cannot EARN miles on LTU flights but you can SPEND your Qualiflyer miles for LTU flights.

I was very impressed with their service on both DUS-MLE and MLE-FRA. I would gladly fly them again.

I usually have to fly LTU when I buy a vacation from germany and I have to say in coach the seats are very narrow and tight. i prefer any other european or american airline anytime. Well it is a charter so for short flygts to spain or tukey it is ok.
Food is ok.
Some figures:
A300-300 first 22
coach 323 !!!
B757 coach 210 !!!!!( no first)

Condor appears to give appx 50% miles (they give fixed amounts for specific groups of city pairs--e.g. 2500 M&M for Germany-Florida.)
