At Miles&More, there are several destinations with reduced mileage rates every month, called Mileage Bargains. As a rule, the long-haul flights in business class are the most interesting. This month, Lufthansa and SWISS each have one destination in the US on sale, charging 55,000 miles + around €850 in fees & taxes for a business class round trip.
You can fly to these two cities:
- Boston: 55,000 miles + €807 with SWISS
- Detroit: 55,000 miles + €849 with Lufthansa

Officially, you should also be able to fly to Chicago with SWISS, but we weren’t able to find any availability.
Taxes and fees vary, depending on your origin and destination. While we weren’t able to find availabilities from all European countries, maybe you might. These are the countries, from which you can officially depart (with an estimate of how much you’ll pay in taxes & fees):
- Belgium (roughly €825)
- Croatia (roughly €860)
- Czech Republic (roughly CZK 20,175 (~€796))
- Denmark (roughly DKK 6,090 (~€816))
- Estonia (roughly €825)
- Finland (roughly €835)
- France (roughly €885)
- Greece (roughly €825)
- Hungary (roughly HUF 320,300 (~€816))
- Italy (roughly €820)
- Ireland (roughly €810)
- Latvia (roughly €845)
- Lithuania (roughly €845)
- Luxembourg (roughly €810)
- Netherlands (roughly €870)
- Norway (roughly NOK 9,575 (~€800))
- Poland (roughly PLN 3,540 (~€826))
- Portugal (roughly €820)
- Spain (roughly €805)
- Sweden (roughly SEK 9,560 (~€813))
- UK (roughly £1,230 (~€1,457))
With SWISS, it very much depends on the specific seat, as SWISS has a throne seat in every row. While the double seats share a platform in the middle, the throne seat has its own platform on each side, which you won’t have to share with anyone. Those seats thus offer privacy and comfort to an extent that the other seats cannot compete with. Therefore, you may be disappointed if you don’t get one of the throne seats, even if the other seats obviously also have a very high standard. In the future, SWISS will have a new business class, called “Swiss Senses”, which is basically Lufthansa’s Allegris cabin, but in red.
Generally, Travel-Dealz writers and readers are not big fans of the Lufthansa business class, even though it is definitely not bad. One reason for that is that the service is too inconsistent: From extremely friendly and quick to unfriendly and slow – everything is possible with Lufthansa, even in business class. Regarding the seats, they are mostly fine, though not really on-par with the competition anymore. That’s why the airline is now slowly installing their new Allegris seats.
Search & Book
The flight date must be between October 15 and November 30. These mileage bargains expire on July 31, 2024, however, the flights will most definitely be sold out before then. Book the flights on Miles&More’s website.
You can use our search form to try out some dates that may suit you. However, don’t be surprised if you need to try more than once, as the availability is fine, but far from daily.

I think I saw a Mileage Bargain Warsaw-Miami for 55k plus tax as well
Yeah, but we couldn’t find any availability at all
Does (and how does) this tarif work if using Star Alliance (TG) miles ?

Seems like it’s over since 01.08.21, no?
Sorry I misread it 🙁
You are right. Purchased tickets from 02.08.21…
I’d have booked it for south korea FRA-ICN but not my 1st choice business.
From BRU for 15xx with lounge wide available.
Hope they’ll go down with the prices… hopefully when the borders officially reopen.
Let’s stay alert everyone ^^
Hi. You say the flights can be rebooked but in the T&Cs it clearly says “Reduced flight awards cannot be rebooked or cancelled. Please note the Miles & More Terms and conditions.”. Is there a special dispensation related to Covid?
Hi
Yes, this is a Corona-specific rule that has recently been adapted.
