Search & Book
The fare rules are quite similar for all alliances. You cannot fly on Fridays or Saturdays, and have to stay at least one Sunday in the USA. Merely the Star Alliance will require you to stay for at least 6 days.
You can use Google Flights to find the exact availability of each route. You can also use our search forms to be redirected to the Airlines’ websites (e.g. KLM, Lufthansa, or British Airways).
We expect further shakeups in the airline industry over the following months. Some services might be cancelled, aircraft changed or downgraded. The schedule we describe may very well change.
