Among Lufthansa’s current offerings of discounted economy fares, New York – Milan stands out as one of the best deals. Currently, you can book travel between NYC and Milan for as low as $629 with excellent availability all the way out to mid-April 2015.
Looking at Google.com/flights, I can see that the best days to find this low fare are on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday however there are several pockets where the other days of the week show availability as well.
Additionally to get the lowest possible pricing option, either a minimum stay of 3 nights or Saturday night stay is required, otherwise the fares sneak up into the high $600 / low $700 range.
As is typical for any Lufthansa fare sale that involves USA departures, these flights can be operated by one of LH’s Star Alliance partners that operates in the USA. For this specific offer, I’m seeing Lufthansa, Brussels and United as being options. United even offers a non-stop from Newark to Milan making it perhaps the most efficient option. Otherwise you’ll have the option to connect through Munich, Frankfurt or Brussels.

To celebrate Germany’s victory at the World Cup Lufthansa is running a fare sale specifically to Berlin to mark the occasion. The fare sale runs until August 7 and covers travel into January 2015.
Most fares from the East Coast range in the low $1000 range (Miami – Berlin for $1,119) and move into the $1300-$1400 range from the West Coast. Chicago – Berlin is perhaps the most attractive at $1149 when you factor in distances, ease of hub access, etc.
Terms of the sale are as follows:
Departures must take place between August 24 and October 25, 2014.
Returns must take place between August 31, 2014 and January 25, 2015.
Tickets must be purchased 14 days prior to departure.
Minimum stay is 7 days.
Maximum stay is 3 months.
Keep in mind as you book your trip that flights can be operated by Lufthansa, Austrian, United, Swiss, Brussels or Air Canada. Depending on the carrier who is operating your flight and the frequent flyer program that you credit your miles to, you may or may not earn miles for your trip. If you have any questions about this, please ask and I’ll help you make sure that you maximize the miles you earn for the booking!
