Regular readers will know that each month the frequent flyer scheme for Lufthansa, Austrian, Swiss etc – Miles & More – offers Mileage Bargains. I cover them once in awhile – sometimes there are some interesting destinations included, sometimes they are not so interesting.
These Mileage Bargains are essentially heavily discounted award tickets in Economy and Business Class to certain destinations. Because of the relatively high taxes and surcharges on Economy redemptions, I will only look at Business Class options from the UK. Miles & More long-haul redemptions include your feeder leg to Frankfurt or Munich.
This month, the list is excellent. The stand-out bargain is Los Angeles for only 55,000 miles return in Business Class!

Bottom Line
There are some interesting destinations up for grabs this month. I’d argue that the stand-out bargain is 55,000 miles to LA because such high-demand destinations are hardly ever discounted. And it is a long flight from Frankfurt, so you will get value for money. Yes, you will still pay a ludicrous 5xx GBP in taxes and surcharges, but you will only pay 55,000 miles.
If you’d rather not spend 500+ GBP on taxes and surcharges, check out this post here for ideas on how to save cash on Miles & More redemptions.
