Miles & More is the loyalty program for Lufthansa and several other airlines in the Lufthansa Group. Each month, the program offers what it calls Mileage Bargains, giving travelers the chance to book discounted round-trip award tickets for about half the usual mileage.
However, the March 2026 edition of Mileage Bargains looks a little different than what you might be used to. Last year, Miles & More switched to dynamic pricing and announced it was eliminating the Mileage Bargains program altogether to simplify its award options. Surprisingly, the program was brought back after a short hiatus, but the deals since the relaunch have been underwhelming.
That said, if you're wondering what deals are available through Mileage Bargains this month, here's what you need to know — and what you might consider booking instead.

What Is Miles & More Mileage Bargains?
Miles & More Mileage Bargains — also referred to as Lufthansa Mileage Bargains — offer discounted award flights on select routes, sometimes by over 50%. Miles & More offers discounts on economy, premium economy, and business class awards, depending on the route.
These monthly discounts apply to specific origin and destination pairs. Travelers can filter available routes by origin, destination, cabin, airline, and other criteria.
And although dynamic pricing throws a wrench into things, you can book awards from North America to destinations in Europe starting at the following rates (plus taxes and fees) — if they're available to begin with.
- 25,000 miles round-trip in economy class.
- 42,000 miles round-trip in premium economy.
- 61,000 miles round-trip in business class.

Miles & More Mileage Bargains Examples
If you remember the heyday of Miles & More Mileage Bargains, with hundreds of eligible routes in business, premium economy, and economy class, we’re sad to report that the March 2026 offers are, well, nonexistent.
This time around, there are absolutely no routes from the U.S. (or anywhere in North America, for that matter) to Europe.
However, there are some cheaper alternatives you can use to get to Europe for fewer miles, some of which cost even less than the lowest Mileage Bargain rates.
Cheap alternatives to Miles & More Mileage Bargains
So, about those cheap Miles & More Mileage Bargains alternatives…
You don't have to believe it, but Miles & More charges as few as 3,161 miles (and sometimes less) from the U.S. to Europe per way plus taxes and fees. That means you could book something like Lufthansa economy from Boston (BOS) to Munich (MUC) for 3,161 miles plus $192. Cheap awards like this are the biggest benefit of the program adopting dynamic pricing.
Business class is more expensive, starting at around 40,000 miles per way through Miles & More. These aren’t Mileage Bargain rates, but they're still pretty decent. The catch, though, is that taxes and fees are on the steeper side. But there's a workaround, as you can redeem more miles for some flights and pay less out of pocket.
For instance, you could book Toronto (YYZ) to Warsaw (WAW) in SWISS business class for 40,535 miles plus $925 (ouch) — or instead book EuroAtlantic Airways business class (operated on behalf of LOT Polish) for 62,500 miles plus $115. Here, redeeming the extra miles might be worth it.
Earning Miles & More Miles
Earning Miles & More miles is now a little easier than it used to be. On November 3, 2025, the program became a 1:1 transfer partner of Rove Miles. This is a big deal, as there aren't many other ways to earn Miles & More miles.
If you're short on Rove Miles, remember that you can always apply for the Miles & More® World Elite Mastercard®. This $89-annual-fee card comes with an 60,000-mile sign-up bonus after spending $3,000 on purchases and pay the annual fee, both within the first 90 days.

You can also buy Miles & More miles (sometimes with a bonus or discount) to top off your account with Miles & More miles. Alternatively, you can sign up for ASmallWorld Prestige membership to get a couple hundred thousand Miles & More miles in one fell swoop.
If you need to combine forces with a “player 2“, the Miles & More program supports mileage pooling for families.

Our Take
Miles & More Mileage Bargains offer deep discounts on flights across a variety of routes, airlines, and cabin classes. Sometimes these discounts extend to routes from the U.S. to Europe, but not this month.
On the bright side, there are some cheap alternatives from the U.S. to Europe starting at 3,161 miles plus taxes and fees. And if you're already in Europe and have a stash of miles to burn — and can make this month’s intra-Europe options work — keep in mind that the booking window closes on March 31, and the travel window runs from April 15 through May 31, 2026.
Most importantly, be aware that these awards are non-changeable and non-refundable, so you should be certain of your plans before booking. Although the mileage requirements can be significantly lower than standard rates, taxes and fees are not discounted and can add up quickly, even in economy.
