As a founding member of Star Alliance, Lufthansa offers innumerable advantages in the world's biggest global network. Its regional strategy under the Lufthansa Regional brand connects Europe's regions with one another and with the world beyond. Bilateral partnerships augment and enhance the services portfolio.

Yes, Lufthansa is not only a member of the Star Alliance, but it is also one of the five founding members of the organization. Established on May 14, 1997, Lufthansa helped create the alliance alongside United Airlines, Air Canada, SAS, and Thai Airways to offer passengers a seamless global travel experience. As a cornerstone of the alliance, Lufthansa provides its passengers with extensive benefits, including the ability to earn and redeem "Miles & More" points across all 26+ partner airlines, access to a global network of over 1,000 lounges for Star Alliance Gold members, and coordinated flight schedules that simplify international transfers. Lufthansa’s primary hubs in Frankfurt and Munich serve as major connecting points for the entire alliance network. Furthermore, Lufthansa's subsidiary airlines—including SWISS, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines—are also integrated into the Star Alliance framework, making the Lufthansa Group one of the most powerful and influential contingents within the world's largest airline alliance.
