This morning I received the annual email from Lufthansa regarding their Cyber Monday special. This year, as in the past, it is a voucher code good for €30 off of your booking.
For some reason, I have yet to see the US version even though I live in the States.
Anyway, the code is good for travel between January 8 and March 22, 2018. The code has to be redeemed by midnight your local time in order for it to count.
If you did not get your voucher via email today, you can use this link to request the code. I think it’s a universal code and will be the same for everyone.
If you don’t have the ability to access that link, try the following code when booking your ticket: ZCN69RMJ0OK6
I tried the code on the LH’s USA website and it did calculate the discount.

Lufthansa today release their first official photos that unveil the new Business Class concept coming with the new Boeing 777-9 that will be introduced to the fleet in 2020.
The new seat appears to be a dramatic departure from the current version and feature increased privacy and comfort. Though specific details have yet to be released, the first images look promising.
According to LH, the seats will be designed to offer passengers either more privacy, or more room as far as desk space goes. Think of the SWISS, Austrian, and Brussels ‘Throne Seat’ when it comes to having more room.
As you’ll see in the photos below, the design will angle SINGLE seats that are positioned for privacy against the fuselage and provide seats in the center of the cabin that have more room to work.
With the 777-9, Lufthansa will have one of it’s widest Business Class cabins ever which make the new seating concept extremely attractive.
Here are the first looks:
In addition to the new seat, Lufthansa also provided an updated on improvements coming to the existing Business Class product we know today. Beginning in 2018, Lufthansa will be providing mattresses and thicker blankets to increase comfort on long haul flights. In addition, LH will also be offering ‘Pajamas’ for the first time to Business Class passengers as well.
I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about the new Business Class cabin in the coming weeks and months.
So far, I think I like what I see.

Normally, it’s quite hard to find a good Miles & More deal for earning miles that doesn’t involve flying anywhere. However, when these rare non-flight related deals come up, they’re usually quite good.
That’s the case at the moment.
getAbstract has long been a partner of Miles & More and typically provides a deal where you get 15,000 miles for signing up for their ‘Pro’ Subscription. Until November 30th, they’ve sweetened the deal and will award you 20,000 miles for signing up.
What is getAbstract?
Call it ‘ Cliffs Notes ‘ for adults. It is a service that provides executive summaries for thousands of books across the non-fiction space including Business, History, Self-Improvement, Biographies, etc.etc. Using their app or desktop you can easily access their library no matter where you are.
It’s actually a useful program whose benefits I think may even out weigh the value of the miles that you’ll receive.
The cost of the subscription is $299/year so when doing the math, it distills down to 1.495 cents per mile. I’ve been hard pressed to find anything that comes close to getting this many miles in one deal for such a low cost. Considering ‘Meilenschnappchen’ deals let you redeem Economy roundtrips for 30,000 miles or 55,000 miles for Business Class Roundtrips between the USA and Europe, getting 20,000 miles for only $299 works out quite nicely.
The deal for the 20,000 miles expires on November 30, at which point the offer will probably revert back to only getting 15,000 miles.
If you do decide to sign up, here’s a tip:
Normally, getAbstract gives you a 30 day money back guarantee period which delays your miles from crediting until after 30 days. However, if you email them asking them to waive the return period, they’ll credit your miles within a few days.
To learn more about the deal, please visit the getAbstract promo on the Miles & More website. Scroll down to the bottom of that page and you’ll see the ad box showing an additional 5k miles bonus being advertised.
