If you’re eager to visit Germany — and want to do so in style — you’re going to want to pay attention.

Right now, you can book business class tickets with a few Star Alliance carriers, including Lufthansa, United Airlines, and Singapore Airlines, from cities across the U.S. to Germany from just 63,000 miles each way, plus taxes and fees.

Here’s a look at everything you need to know!

Fare Details

Here are the details about these business class award flights to Germany.

  • Class: Business
  • Routes: Atlanta (ATL), Chicago (ORD), Denver (DEN), Detroit (DTW), New York (JFK), Newark (EWR), Philadelphia (PHL), Seattle (SEA), St. Louis (STL), and Washington, D.C. (IAD)
  • Dates: March 2024 to March 2025
  • Rates: As few as 63,000 miles one-way

The easiest way to search for flights is by heading over to United’s website, where the 30-day calendar function makes it simple to see which dates have saver-level availability.

However, booking the ticket itself shouldn’t be done with United (unless you have miles to spare). Instead, you’ll want to book through Avianca LifeMiles for 63,000 miles or the Air Canada Aeroplan program for 70,000 miles.

How To Book

Since these airlines are all members of the Star Alliance, this means you can use miles from United, Lufthansa, Air Canada, Avianca, ANA, Turkish Airlines, and more.

Through LifeMiles, you can book these saver business class awards for just 63,000 miles and

However, Aeroplan is also a solid bet for booking these tickets as the mileage rates are reasonable and it’s easy to earn Aeroplan miles. The program has partnerships with several transferable currency programs including American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One Miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Marriott Bonvoy.

Points from all programs can be transferred to Aeroplan at a 1:1 ratio, with the exception of Marriott Bonvoy points, which transfer at a 3:1 ratio, with a 5,000-mile bonus for every 60,000 points transferred.

You’ll want to pay your taxes and fees with a card like the Chase Sapphire Reserve® since doing so will make you eligible for the complimentary travel insurance that it offers. This can protect you from things like trip delays, lost luggage, and trip cancellations.
