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.

This morning, Lufthansa loaded discounted First Class fares into their reservation system that reflects a 40-50% discount off of typical First Class fares. The best deal looks to be between Houston and Stockholm for only $5600. Otherwise, most departures from the East Coast range from the high $5000 to mid $6000 range while departures from the Midwest and West Coast range between the mid $6000 and mid $7000 range.
These fares are valid for departures between June 27 and August 30, 2014 with return flights needing to take place between June 29 and November 30, 2014. This is fantastic window since it covers the high peak summer travel season to Europe. Tickets must be purchased by July 2, 2014 and 60 days prior to departure.
🙂 Included at no additional cost 🙂 is access to the fantastic First Class Terminal if you connect through Frankfurt where you can enjoy private car transfers to your connecting flights and even grab your very own First Class Duck souvenir! 🙂 Of course you will also have access to the First Class Lounges inside the airport in Frankfurt or in Munich. If you depart from NYC, you’ll have a First Class Lounge experience waiting for you there as well.
Normally, First Class tickets will typically range from $9000 to $12000 or more, so when they are discounted like this, it offers a fantastic opportunity to take advantage of one of the finest First Class experiences that you can have with any airline.
