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 bargains in my humble opinion are Rio, Hong Kong, Seoul and Osaka for 70,000 miles RETURN in Business Class, which are typically quite expensive destinations…

Bottom line
There are some really interesting destinations up for grabs this month – though, yes, you will still pay a ludicrous 4xx-5xx GBP in taxes and surcharges.
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.
If you’re looking to stock up on M&M Miles, don’t forget that Hilton is currently running a very generous promotion.
Could you confirm how I could book these flights from UK airport? I have followed the link from your article but the only options available were German airports.
