After yesterday’s brief surprise ‘fare sale’ that was giving away Business Class travel between the USA and Europe for only $1500 R/T , it looks like the deal is back in a limited manner.
Last night you could have booked travel to most of Europe from non-major US gateways for $1500 or less in some cases. The fares were basically bought up within 6-8 hours after being released but it now looks as though a limited number of opportunities has re-emerged.
As of an hour ago or so, I noticed that Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian, Brussels, Air Canada and United are once again offering business fares that are equal to or below economy fare tickets. This time though the options are fewer and further between and primarily focus on most of Italy and France. There are however a few pockets available to London and Amsterdam.
The key to finding this unadvertised special is to book travel from non-hub cities in the USA. In other words, you won’t find these fares as easily from places like NYC or ORD. Its not to say that you won’t but the odds are not with you.

EDIT: Initially I wrote about Business Fare deals only to Italy, but after looking at more options, other European destinations such as Paris and London have similar deals available!
EDIT 2: This is not a Fare error situation. The fares are valid as long as seats are available.
This certainly looks to be a fantastic but short term offer, but for the time being you can book BUSINESS CLASS travel on Lufthansa from the USA to several cities in EUROPE for only $1500 R/T. This is about 25-30% of what the normal Business Class fare would be between the US and Italy. It’s almost like getting Business Class for the price of economy!
When pricing like this happens, it may be very short lived so you may want to take advantage of the deals in the next few hours. Looking at sample bookings, available is fairly wide open from late June through early August and a variety of cities in Europe seem to be eligible, including Paris, Rome, Venice, London and others.
Let me know if you have any luck taking advantage of some excellent pricing! It looks like booking is also possible Swiss, Austrian, Brussels, United and Air Canada.
Looks like a 60 day advance ticket purchase is required as well as a Saturday or Sunday night stay.
H/T – Pat with a bunch of #’s!

Here is a link to Austrian’s YouTube Channel that shows additional details. For some reason I could not get the video to imbed on this post.
