Frequent flyer programme management company, Miles & More, and workspace solutions provider, Regus, have confirmed that they are entering into a partnership agreement to provide an enhanced reward service for business travellers.

Miles & More is Europe's leading frequent flyer programme, offering loyalty points to travellers who fly on participating airlines, including Lufthansa (who runs the programme), SWISS, Austrian airlines and many other carriers. The programme currently has over 20 million members.

Regus is a global provider of flexible workspace solutions, running over 1,100 facilities in 88 countries worldwide. Business travellers can take advantage of Regus' offices, meeting rooms and airport business lounges, as well as numerous business support services and communication technologies.

All Miles & More members will now be able to earn reward points when they book Regus' services and products, at a rate of 1 mile for every €1.

Regus CEO, Mark Dixon, explained: "This partnership between Regus and Miles & More is an exciting development for our company which will allow millions more business travelers to work more easily and cost-effectively in 500 cities in 88 countries all over the world, using Regus' diverse range of work-anywhere products and services. Regus now partners with more than three quarters of the world's leading airlines, including Delta, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Air France KLM. The extent of these partnerships shows our commitment to mobile working, and understanding of the needs of mobile workers. We will continue to look for ways to support businesses of all sizes as they explore new markets and revenue opportunities worldwide."

MD of Miles & More International GmbH, Carsten Schaeffer, added: "This partnership fits perfectly to the business needs of Miles & More members - we're extending Miles & More benefits helping members to work more productively and efficiently on their business trips while also collecting award miles. The arrangement with Regus will significantly raise their ability to do business on the move and benefit from that on their Miles & More mileage account."
