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 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.

Miles & More devalued earlier this year. But the good news is that the mileage bargains are still going for the old rates.

This month, the list is excellent. The stand-out bargains in my humble opinion are San Diego for 55,000 miles RETURN in Business Class, and Hong Kong and Seoul for 70,000 miles RETURN in Business Class, which are typically quite expensive destinations… The other US destinations are decent, too, for 55,000 miles RETURN.

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+ on taxes and surcharges, check out this post here for ideas on how to save cash on Miles & More redemptions.
