Every day of the week, the routine of Travel-Dealz editors begins with combing through countless offers and suggesting them to our colleagues. After evaluating them, only the best deals make it on our homepage and into our newsletter. In this post, we want to shine a light on offers that were discussed, but ultimately disregarded. But just because we didn’t feel they would be interesting for a broader audience, it doesn’t mean that some people won’t cherish them.
In this section, you can’t expect our usual service – we will give one example for each deal. We can only give hints about details like availability, travel period, other origins/destinations or fare rules.

€4,500 British Airways First Class to Shanghai
With departure from several European airports, you can currently find British Airways first class tickets to Shanghai for less than €5,000 r/t. It nets you roughly 24 hours in a first class cabin on a route that normally costs five digits on every other day.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: The price tag is still very high – too high to confidently call it a deal. And while British Airways’ First Class is no longer mocked as the “world’s best business class”, it’s still not among the best(-value) first class cabins out there.
IHG Points Sale with 100% Bonus
Until February 5, IHG One Rewards currently sells points with a 100% bonus when purchasing at least 26,000 points.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: In the past six months, these sales basically happened monthly, and good redemption options have been increasingly difficult to find. If you still want to it check out, have a look at our German site to find some good acceptable spots to redeem them.
Discounted Avios Prices for Iberia Plus Rewards
Until January 26, Iberia has lowered prices on Avios redemptions by as much as 40%, depending on your destination. The promotion is valid for flights until March 24, 2026.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: The discounted destinations are mostly short-hauls or long-haul flights with poor availability. While Iberia had some outstanding award sales in the past, this isn’t one of them.

Deals that didn’t make it the site and can be found on the site 🤣
Yeah, but as 2 short paragraphs instead of as a detailed and extensive post.
Many thanks for the clarifications provided. Well appreciated!

It’s something wrong with the Duolingo deal link
Hi Jakob, I’ve fixed the link. Thanks for noticing.
