After an absence last month, the Miles & More discounted
mileage awards “Meilenschnaeppchen”. have returned! This set has two set separate travel options. The first is a 50,000 miles discount on business class travel on Lufthansa
between Montreal and Europe in March while the second is a 50% discount on economy class travel for the remainder of this year on Austrian Airlines between Toronto and Austria.
You can redeem Miles & More miles for round trip tickets from Montreal to Europe for only 55,000
miles in Business Class. This is nearly a 48% discount off the
normal Business Class award ticket price of 105,000 miles. As mentioned before the Toronto option is a full 50% discount. Granted all
these tickets will also have fuel surcharges but this is still a pretty
good deal when you look at it as a whole in terms of miles+cash outlay.
Simply book your tickets by November 30th for travel between March 1st and 25th for Montreal departures and from now until Dec 31st for Toronto departures. Full details can be found here
As always with this post:
If you don’t have enough miles you can convert points from the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express
(C$1 = 1 Miles & More Mile) If you do try, remember your best bet
is to transfer in 20,000 Starpoints increments as you’ll get a 5,000
mile bonus meaning you’ll get 25,000 Miles & More miles.
