The Miles & More program has significantly more partner airlines then the Avios program. Miles & More partners include SWISS - the largest Swiss airline - and 37 other airlines. The Avios program includes British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus.

The value of Miles & More miles and Avios is similar, although value varies based on current offers.
