LUFTHANSA:  Newark – Copenhagen For $525! (November – February)

LUFTHANSA: Newark – Copenhagen For $525! (November – February)

Lufthansa, along with several Star Alliance partners is running a fairly attractive fare sale from the east coast of the USA to Copenhagen for travel between November and February.

Most of Lufthansa’s fares are coming in around the $525 range for Newark departures. There are some minor variances that bring fares down to as low as $510 and as high as $650. Fares from JFK are $30-$80 higher than they are from Newark.

Other Star Alliance partner fares are showing SAS for as low as $497, Air Canada and United are in the low $500s.

There does not seem to be a pattern for fare validity. I found sample fares that were valid for 2 day trips all the way out to 2-3 month stays. Availability is widespread and relatively easy to find!

As this is an un-advertised fare special there are no specific terms or conditions that exist and I do not know how long the fares will be available at this rate.

What I do know is that these fares make it very easy to start planning ahead for the fantastic Christmas Markets that take place throughout Europe from late November through Christmas!

LUFTHANSA:  USA East Coast To Johannesburg Still Only $900 In November!

LUFTHANSA: USA East Coast To Johannesburg Still Only $900 In November!

 

Scouring a few fare search engines tonight,  I found that LH is still offering $900 fares between the East Coast of the US and Johannesburg, South Africa.

I first wrote about this back in February, but 3 months later the fares are still widely available for November travel from Boston, Washington DC and Newark. In addition Business Fares are still only in the $5000 range for the same period!

The fare sale seems to go beyond just LH as the operating carrier.  You’ll find similar fares for flights operated by United, South African and Air Canada, but I think you can guess who I would recommend you fly should you be interested in booking this deal!

There are no apparent minimum days/stays required as I was able to find the $900 fares for 2 and 3 day trips.   The absolute best fares are found for departures taking place between Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Keep in mind that these are deep discount economy fares, so the miles that you will earn for your FF program can vary dramatically.  In some cases you may earn 0 miles!

However, if you are planning a Safari trip for the peak Safari season in South Africa, these fares will be hard to beat!
