Lufthansa is currently offering extremely cheap premium economy flights from the United Kingdom to Hyderabad and Bangalore. Starting at £560, you can fly from Manchester and Edinburgh, and not only do these tickets include 2 items of luggage, but the seats are far more comfortable than normal economy class seats. Also, you will earn a lot of miles with most Star-Alliance frequent-flyer programs.
Our calendar displays all available dates for trips of up to 28 days for all routes. Once you’ve selected the dates that suit you best, we’ll redirect you to Lufthansa’s booking site:
To Bangalore:
- From Manchester: £560 (~€642)
- From Edinburgh: £562 (~€644)
To Hyderabad:
- From Edinburgh: £568 (~€651)
- From Manchester: £571 (~€654)
From your departure airport in the UK, you’ll have a short economy class flight to Frankfurt, from where you’ll continue your trip to India in premium economy. If you’re flying to Bangalore, you can also fly via Munich.
Lufthansa’s Premium Economy
In comparison to other airlines, Lufthansa’s Premium Economy is solid, but not outstanding. The reclining seats and legroom are above average. Still, cabin service and entertainment are almost the same as in LH’s economy class product.
In contrast to its regular economy seats, Lufthansa offers broader and more comfortable seats in Premium Economy, switching from a 3-4-3 / 3-3-3 seat alignment to 2-4-2 (Boeing 747 and Airbus A380) or 2-3-2 on its other wide-body aircraft. Furthermore, you can check two bags up to 23 kg at no additional cost. While the food is identical, it’ll be served on chinaware instead of plastic.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, the only restriction is that your stay in India has to be at least 8 days long. Using Google Flights, we found out, that there seems to be pretty good availability throughout 2024, especially until March. Once you’ve found your preferred dates, we recommend booking your flight directly on lufthansa.com.

Information & Tips for India
India is a large and diverse country with major tourist sights like the Taj Mahal in Agra, the forts and palaces of Rajasthan, the backwaters of Kerala, and spiritual cities like Varanasi and Rishikesh. The currency used is the Indian Rupee (INR). Prices vary widely—budget travel is possible, but mid-range and luxury options are also common, especially in tourist-heavy areas. Weather depends heavily on region and season: winters (Nov–Feb) are generally pleasant, while summers (Mar–June) can be extremely hot, and the monsoon (June–Sept) brings heavy rainfall in many parts.
India’s transport infrastructure is a mix of modern and outdated systems. Within cities, getting around can be chaotic but manageable—options include auto-rickshaws, taxis, metro systems in larger cities like Delhi and Mumbai, and app-based services like Uber and Ola. Between cities, India has an extensive railway network that’s affordable but often crowded and prone to delays; domestic flights are common and relatively inexpensive for longer distances. Roads connect most places, but traffic and conditions can be unpredictable.
