OK, this Business Fare sale is not nearly as good as the “Great Fare War of April 2014” where we saw a myriad of Business Class fares to Europe for as low as $1500. However, the fares in this sale are still attractive and are about 50% lower than usual. Additionally, the travel window is quite large giving you plenty of opportunities.
The fare sale runs until July 2, 2014. Departures must take place between June 27 and August 30 and return flights must take place between July 7 and November 30. Tickets must be purchased 60 days ahead of your desired departure date.
Most fares from Lufthansa’s East Coast Gateways start in the high $2000 range, with the best deals coming from New York to Munich for only $2900. Otherwise, you’ll see fares along the east coast ranging in the low $3000 area. West Coast departures (LAX and SFO) run in the mid $6000 range making it less attractive than an East Coast departure.
In looking at some sample bookings, there are several instances where the flights are actually operated by United or Air Canada, so be mindful when booking your tickets especially if you are looking to enjoy LH’s hospitality. Another reason to pay attention to the operating carrier is because of the miles that you may OR MAY NOT earn for your frequent flyer program. The fares for this sale are booking into ‘P’ class which is a deep discount Business fare class. As the saying goes, Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV) based on the frequent flyer program that you credit miles to.

Lufthansa has announced a new First Class amenity kit that will begin to appear on long haul flights in mid-April. They also announced a limited edition kit coming to Business Class for May and June.
The First Class kit, made by ESCADA will replace the different variations of kits that passengers find onboard currently.
A nice feature of the new kit is that the case is designed to be used as tablet cover once it has served its purpose as an Amenity Kit.
Beginning in May and running for a VERY SHORT TIME there will also be a new Business Class Amenity Kit that will celebrate Germany’s World Cup Team. That kit will only be available for Long Haul flights departing Germany in May and June.
Here is a photo showing the new First Class kit:

EDIT: Initially I wrote about Business Fare deals only to Italy, but after looking at more options, other European destinations such as Paris and London have similar deals available!
EDIT 2: This is not a Fare error situation. The fares are valid as long as seats are available.
This certainly looks to be a fantastic but short term offer, but for the time being you can book BUSINESS CLASS travel on Lufthansa from the USA to several cities in EUROPE for only $1500 R/T. This is about 25-30% of what the normal Business Class fare would be between the US and Italy. It’s almost like getting Business Class for the price of economy!
When pricing like this happens, it may be very short lived so you may want to take advantage of the deals in the next few hours. Looking at sample bookings, available is fairly wide open from late June through early August and a variety of cities in Europe seem to be eligible, including Paris, Rome, Venice, London and others.
Let me know if you have any luck taking advantage of some excellent pricing! It looks like booking is also possible Swiss, Austrian, Brussels, United and Air Canada.
Looks like a 60 day advance ticket purchase is required as well as a Saturday or Sunday night stay.
H/T – Pat with a bunch of #’s!
