Points and miles enthusiasts are likely familiar with Flying Blue Promo Rewards and Singapore Airlines Spontaneous Escapes. However, these are not the only monthly award flight discounts. Lufthansa Group also runs a similar set of offerings for a number of airlines each month too, called Miles & More Mileage Bargains.
For those unaware, Miles & More is the loyalty program for not only Lufthansa but also for a number of other airlines in the Lufthansa Group. Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, LOT Polish, and SWISS all participate in Miles & More Mileage Bargains.
What Is Miles & More Mileage Bargains?
Miles & More Bargains offer discount 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.
Discounts are specific to each destination. That's different from Flying Blue Promo Rewards, where just the transatlantic route is advertised between the U.S. and Europe.
Travelers can filter available routes based on origin, destination, cabin, airline, and more. Through Mileage Bargains, transatlantic travel generally costs just:
- 30,000 miles round-trip in economy class.
- 40,000 miles round-trip in premium economy.
- 55,000 miles round-trip in business class.

Earning Miles & More Miles
Unfortunately, the Miles & More program does not partner with any transferable points currency, so earning opportunities are limited. However, Barclays issues the Miles & More® World Elite Mastercard® in the United States. This $89-annual fee card comes with a 100,000-mile sign-up bonus if you spend $3,000 in purchases and pay the annual fee, both within the first 90 days.
You also can buy Lufthansa Miles & More miles (including infrequent bonus offers) to top off your account with up to 130,000 Miles & More miles.
Our Take
Miles & More Mileage Bargains offers travelers deep discounts on flights between a wide variety of origins and destinations across several airlines and cabin classes. The list of destinations available in October offers hundreds of opportunities for U.S.-based travelers to travel to Europe for significantly fewer miles, thanks to the wide array of available transatlantic routes.
The travel window for these bargains only extends through the end of February 2024. However, that still allows plenty of time to plan out successful redemptions.
Be advised that you can't cancel or change these awards, so be sure your travel plans are firm before booking. Additionally, while the mileage requirements for many of these award opportunities can be over 50% lower than usual, the taxes and fees are not discounted. Those taxes and fees can add a hefty sum to the overall cost of flights.
The biggest limitation to taking advantage of Mileage Bargains is the lack of points transfer options with Miles & More. You'll need to earn miles through the Miles & More World Elite Mastercard or through paid flights you credit to your Miles & More account.

Great deal, but no availability for dates I could fly.
Good to see some of these deals returning! It feels good to start settling back into normal and collecting passport stamps again 🙂
I can’t wait to redeem my miles for a business class flight!
Great deal, if only you can find availability. Sometimes I feel like they tend to pull the rug from under you. Still, not bad deal if you can get the availability. Enjoy
For years, my wife and I used to fly on Lufthansa from DFW roundtrip to Frankfurt (FRA), Munich (MUC), or even Dublin (DUB) using United Airlines Miles. All of a sudden, availability has disappeared from United’s website (except economy is still displayed as available on Lufthansa. Any idea why one cannot use United miles to fly on Lufthansa (other than economy)? Both airlines are in the same alliance (Star Alliance). I spoke with United and was told Lufthansa did something (but they were not sure what. I contacted Lufthansa and it has not replied.
Any information would be appreciated.
Ugh seems that Lufthansa reduced the award availability that it offers to partners. That’s something we’ve seen more and more airlines do, and it’s really frustrating since those can be the best uses of miles!
Incredible deal with FB but never shows availability!!!!!!
Such a great deal – I only wish they would include Philadelphia as a departure airport!
Im looking for clarification on this quote: So, you’ll need to earn miles through the Miles & More® World Elite Mastercard® or through flights on partner airlines.
So most of miles are through Chase UR. If I were to transfer my miles from UR to Luthsana to Miles and More, would that work to get me the flight I need?
Thank you so much!
I wish that was possible! Unfortunately, Chase points don’t transfer to Lufthansa Miles & More. In fact, no transferrable points transfer to Miles & More! That’s the major limitation of this promotion.
Doesn’t seem like much of promotion if can’t transfer in partner earned miles.
Indeed, it does have limited use. However, we have lots of AwardWallet users with Miles & More miles!
