Lufthansa Group’s Discover Airlines, which took over flying between Calgary and Frankfurt from Air Canada will now be adding flights to Munich, Germany as well. For the summer 2025 season Discover will operate up to 5 flights per week between YYC and the Bavarian capital.
Calgary – Munich
This route will be operated three times weekly starting on April 12, 2025 and will move to five times as of May 4, 2025. The flights will be operated with an Airbus A330-300. The aircraft features economy class, premium economy class and business class with lie flat seats.
Here are the flight times (per Aeroroutes)
4Y090/LH4546 MUC1325 – 1525YYC 333 x35

Earning points & miles on these flights
You can choose to credit these flights to Lufthansa’s own program, Miles&More but I would think most Canadians will opt to have these credited to their Air Canada Aeroplan account. You can also choose to credit these flights to any other Star Alliance partner.
Miles&More does not have a co-brand credit card however you can book these flights on AirCanada.com so can use an Aeroplan co-brand card to pay for these flights – the best one is the American Express Aeroplan Reserve Card which earns 3 points per dollar for purchases made on Air Canada website.
If you don’t book via Air Canada your best bet is to pay with a card that has a travel accelerator like The Platinum Card from American Express or the American Express Gold Rewards Card as you can transfer those points to Aeroplan afterwards.
Booking these flights with points & miles
Through Aeroplan, Discover Airlines is not available for redemption, so your best bet is Miles & More or using a proprietary credit card program like Amex Membership Rewards, RBC Avion Rewards and so on.
