Frankfurt / Berlin, 5 October 2016 – Travelling has just got even more comfortable. Miles & More members can now earn miles from the professional driving service Blacklane.

Members with Senator status can earn 1.500 miles and HON Circle Members 2.000 miles. One mile is awarded for every euro spent for all subsequent bookings.

With its comprehensive network of licensed professional drivers, Blacklane offers a reliable, global driving service in over 200 cities and 400 airports across 51 countries worldwide. “With Blacklane, Miles & More members now have access to a global mobility programme. As we are striving to offer a holistic, consistent global service, the Blacklane product is tailor-made for international frequent flyers,” says Jens Wohltorf, co-founder and CEO of Blacklane.

The driving service is available for transfers, such as from airports to city centres, and for hourly bookings. Blacklane cooperates only with local professional driver companies who are available to guests as required, down to the exact minute. Private and business bookings can be processed at fixed prices at least one hour in advance via the website and the Blacklane app. The desired pick-up location, time and destination, as well as the relevant vehicle category just need to be specified. A driver will then pick up travellers at the agreed location. A large, top-class fleet of vehicles is available to customers, including business vehicles, first class vehicles and vans. Vehicles include the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the Cadillac DTS. Miles & More members will now be able to use the professional driving service to get from A to B comfortably and cost-efficiently.
