Guests at who spend at least 30 days in one of Vision's 1,100 apartments in Germany, Austria and Switzerland will be credited with one bonus mile per euro or Swiss franc sales revenue. In the start-up months of November and December 2017, 1,000 extra miles will be given away.

Alongside the 40 or so partner airlines - including SWISS, Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines - plus 25 hotel groups, eight car rental firms and a cruise operator, Vision Apartments is now the first and only serviced apartment company to belong to the Miles & More network.

"We are striving to expand and add new partners to the SWISS Miles & More portfolio. We were impressed with the high standards of service at Vision Apartments, and feel that the company perfectly meets the needs of our business travellers," said Sven Lareida, director, head of loyalty commercial & partnership management.

"In choosing a new partner, we felt that it was important that its services offer a tangible added value for our customers. The opportunity to collect air miles with Miles & More when staying with Vision Apartments will make a visit even more attractive," said Bastiaan Don, group head of communications, development & IT at Vision Apartments.
