Miles & More Targeted Offer:  Earn Up To 2,000 Bonus Miles For August-October Flights

Miles & More Targeted Offer: Earn Up To 2,000 Bonus Miles For August-October Flights

Finally, a promo I actually qualify for with upcoming travel….

Miles & More has announced a small promo that will award members up to 2,000 award miles for flights taken between August 1 and October 31, 2017.

If you have flights scheduled during this time frame, you’ll earn an extra 500 miles for 2 flights and 2,000 bonus miles if you have 4 flights during the promo period.   Like I said, it’s not much, but it’s something.   You can’t earn more miles if you have more than 4 segments scheduled during the promo. 4 flights are the maximum that are eligible for the bonus miles.

The credit can be earned on flights operated by Lufthansa, Austrian, Brussels, SWISS, Eurowings, Croatia and Luxair.   Fare class doesn’t matter (award tickets do not qualify).  Multiple segments within an itinerary count as individual flights (i.e. flying ORD to JNB via ZRH counts as 2 flights).

The only catch is that you have to register by August 17 in order to be eligible, and it appears to be a targeted offer being made by email.  There’s no link that I can provide that would take you to the registration page, so check your email/spam folders for the offer.

SWISS First Class Ex-UK….Buy One, Get ONE FREE!

SWISS First Class Ex-UK….Buy One, Get ONE FREE!

Swiss has extended their current promotion for First Class travel to most of Asia, Africa, South America, and the Middle East.   The promo basically a 2-for-1 with fares ranging between €2200 and €3000 ( £1900 and £2600).   Perhaps the best deal is the €2400 fare to Shanghai or the €2900 fare to Sao Paolo.

The sale has been extended and now ends on 12 July 2017.    Valid travel dates for this deal extend all the way out to 31 March 2018 so there is plenty of availability for the deal.

So, as long as you can originate your travel from the UK, you can take advantage of this decent offer.    Keep in mind you flights from the UK to Zurich will be in Business Class and can include flights operated by Lufthansa or Austrian that ultimately get you to ZRH.

If you play your cards right, you can book your UK flight to Frankfurt via Lufthansa, visit the First Class Terminal, and then fly to Zurich where you can enjoy the SWISS First Class Lounge before your First Class flight!
