LUFTHANSA 48 Hour Mega-Sale: Ex-Germany to USA 50% OFF!!

Just received note that Lufthansa has launched a 48 hour Economy Fare Sale that knocks fares down up to 50% for travel from Germany to the USA.    The sale ends Thursday so make a decision quickly!

A lot of USA destinations from Frankfurt and Munich are pricing as low as €449.    Destinations at this price point include Charlotte, Boston, and Philadelphia.   Most other east coast destinations price around €479-499.  West Coast is slight higher.

Keep in mind that these fares are eligible for the myOffer upgrade program that allows you to bid to sit in Premium Economy when booking an Economy seat.

In addition, you can still apply to get the €20 voucher good towards bookings made for travel originating in Germany.  This makes a good fare sale that much better!

 

The details for the fare sale are as follows:

Departures must take place between April 13 and June 30, 2016.

Return travel must take place between April 14 and September 30, 2016.

LUFTHANSA Launches Summer Fare Sale

LUFTHANSA Launches Summer Fare Sale

Lufthansa has launched a summer fare sale that runs until April 8 and at first glance it looks like the savings range from 10-30% off of normal summer fares.

Some of the best deals involve Frankfurt.   Flying to Frankfurt from NYC can happen for only $789, while Chicago, Washington DC or Denver to Frankfurt prices for only $989.   Typically these are $1300-1500 fares during the summer.

Otherwise most East Coast departures to Europe range between $1100-1300 and fares from the midwest start at $1200 and work their way up to the mid $1500 range.   Remember that these fares are upgradeable to Premium Economy using Lufthansa’s myOffer bid program.

The terms of the sale are as follows:

Sale ends April 8, 2016

Departures must take place between July 4 and August 22, 2016

Return travel must take place between July 4, 2016 and February 22, 2017.

Mid-Week departure/return required.   Weekend flights will incur a surcharge of $200.

Ticket must be purchased 50 days ahead of departure.

Fare valid on flights operated by Lufthansa, Austrian, Brussels, Swiss, United, and Air Canada.

LUFTHANSA Premium Economy Sale:  Ex-USA For As Low As $1300……

LUFTHANSA Premium Economy Sale: Ex-USA For As Low As $1300……

Lufthansa has started a Premium Economy fare sale that runs for the next 7 days with fares as low as I’ve ever seen since the roll-out of the product.    For example, New York – Milan can be had for as low as $1329, and Chicago – Athens for only $1479.

Attractive fares exist from all of LH’s North American gateways to most European destinations.   Most east cost fares range in the $1400-1600 area, the mid-west ranges in the $1500-1700 area, while the west coast runs about $1700 to $1900.    These fares are not much higher than peak economy class fares and you certainly pick up a much better value with Premium Economy seats.

The fares book into ‘N’ class so you’ll earn 100% of miles flown towards your Miles&More account balances.  Premium Economy tickets also allow you to check 2 bags (50 lbs each) free of charge.

 

The fares cover Spring and early Summer travel.  Specifically:

Departures must take place between April 13 and May 12.

Returns must take place between April 13 and August 12.

Weekend surcharges apply (so book Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday travel for best pricing).

Tickets must be purchased 28 days prior to departure.
