Lufthansa Business Class Sitz

Star Alliance member Lufthansa is selling cheap business class flights to Bogota for people departing from the UK (sadly, except London). The flights merely cost £1,177 (~€1,373).

Info

Worldwide travel restrictions are in place to slow the spread of Covid-19. We strongly recommend gathering detailed information about the travel and quarantine restrictions that apply to your desired origin and destination.

A good start is the International Air Transport Association (IATA) website. It provides current updates on a country’s immigration policies. Even better, the Covid-19 Travel Regulations Map is one of the most useful tools you can find.

There’s almost daily availability from April onward.

You can fly from the following cities:

From the UK, you would first fly to Frankfurt, from where you’d continue your trip to the Colombian capital – all flights operated by Lufthansa.

Warning

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.

Search & Book

This deal expires on February 28, 2021. Until then, you can purchase flights for any time, as long as it’s before December 12 and your trip is at least 6 days (or a Sunday) long.

You can find all available dates on Google Flights but as there’s almost daily availability, why bother? Simply use our search form above, which will redirect you to Lufthansa’s booking site.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

The tickets are all issued in booking class P, meaning that, e.g. a roundtrip from Glasgow would get you:

  • 25,276 CV Points on Vistara Club Vistara
  • 15,798 Miles on Singapore KrisFlyer
  • 12,792 Award Miles + 480 Points on Miles&More
  • 12,792 Points on SAS EuroBonus
  • 12,638 Award Miles + 2,528 PQP on United MileagePlus
  • 12,638 Miles on Copa ConnectMiles
  • 12,638 Miles on Thai Royal Orchid Plus
  • 12,638 Award Miles on LATAM Pass
  • 11,966 Miles on Air Canada Aeroplan
  • 8,846 Miles on ANA Mileage Club

Lufthansa’s Business Class on Long-Haul Routes

Lufthansa is rated as a 5-star airline through Skytrax and is the only European airline amongst the other 5-star airlines.

Business class with Lufthansa typically includes the following amenities:

  • Business check in
  • Priority borading
  • 2 checked bags each up to 32kg
  • 2 items of carry-on baggage each up to 8kg plus a personal item
  • Access to business lounges across the Star Alliance network
  • Access to welcome lounge in Frankfurt on the way back

All airplanes that Lufthansa utilizes for long-haul have a 2-2-2 seat configuration in business class. However there is one exception which is the single-aisle upper deck of the Boeing 747-400 that comes in a 2-2 seat configuration. All seats are fully lie-flat. Window seats do not have direct aisle access.

Service, food, inflight entertainment and the amenity kit are of high quality.
