I am a frequent traveller and fly a lot within europe worh lifthansa, reaching more than 60 flights per year. Give me a strategy to go to senator status as fast as possible

Flying a lot within Europe gives you plenty of opportunities to collect the qualifying points Lufthansa uses for its Senator tier, and you can accelerate the process by focusing on the right cabins, partners, and ancillary benefits.

Target the cabins that earn the most points

• Book Business Class on Lufthansa or any Lufthansa Group carrier (including Swiss, Austrian, and Lufthansa City Airlines). Business‑class seats on short‑haul routes still count as a full‑fare product and generate the highest point multiplier per flight  Points Miles and Bling The Alviator .
• When you fly intra‑Europe Business Class on an Airbus A319‑100, the middle seat is blocked, giving you a true business‑class experience while still earning the same points as longer‑haul business‑class legs  Points Miles and Bling .

Use the Lufthansa City Airlines short‑haul network to increase flight count

• Take advantage of the expanding Frankfurt‑based short‑haul schedule (e.g., Berlin, Valencia, Düsseldorf, Málaga) to stack many qualifying flights without long travel times  The Bulkhead Seat .
• Since you already exceed 60 flights a year, routing some of those legs through Lufthansa City Airlines adds more Miles & More‑eligible segments to your tally.

Leverage credit‑card lounge access to stay productive and comfortable

• An American Express Platinum card lets you enter the Senator lounge when you’re flying Business Class on any Lufthansa Group airline  The Bulkhead Seat . This gives you a quiet place to work or relax while you wait for connections, making high‑frequency travel less taxing.
• Even if you’re not yet a Senator, the AmEx Platinum benefit effectively gives you the same lounge experience as a Senator member on Business‑class trips  The Bulkhead Seat The Alviator .

Keep your Miles & More account active and verified

• Make sure your Miles & More number is linked to a valid account; otherwise you can’t accrue the qualifying points needed for Senator status  One Mile at a Time . If you ever lose access to your number, follow the recovery process through the website and upload a copy of your ID  One Mile at a Time .

Prioritize flights that count toward status

• Focus on Lufthansa Group flights (including Swiss, Austrian, Eurowings, and Lufthansa City Airlines) because they automatically credit points to your Miles & More profile  The Alviator .
• When possible, choose routes where you can combine multiple short‑haul legs in a single day, maximizing the number of qualifying segments without adding excessive travel time.

Track progress and plan upgrades

• Regularly check your Miles & More account for the qualifying‑points balance and compare it against the threshold for Senator status (the exact number isn’t listed in the sources, but the tier is awarded based on accumulated points).
• If you’re close to the threshold, consider upgrading economy tickets to Business Class on eligible flights; the upgrade cost is often lower than buying a full Business‑class ticket and still yields the higher point earnings  Points Miles and Bling The Alviator .

By concentrating on Business‑class bookings within the Lufthansa Group, exploiting the dense short‑haul network from Frankfurt, and using the AmEx Platinum lounge perk to stay comfortable, you can convert your 60‑plus annual European flights into the fastest path toward Lufthansa Senator status.
