Much like Air France-KLM Flying Blue Promo Rewards, Lufthansa Miles & More has a regular promotion offering discounted reward redemptions for flights on Austrian Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, and SWISS.

Lufthansa has launched its newest Miles & More Mileage Bargains (“Meilenschnäppchen” is fun to say) for October, and this version is an unfortunate continuation of the decline of what used to be a great monthly promotion. Now, there’s not much to speak of for U.S. flyers.

Here’s what you need to know.

Promotion Details

This month’s list of Miles & More Mileage Bargains comprises hundreds of deals on flights around the world. However, there is just 1 route available for flights between the U.S. and Europe. Yes, you read that right. There used to be hundreds every month.

However, savings are savings at the end of the day, and, speaking objectively, there are good deals on the single route (which has offers in 3 classes of travel) that’s available from the U.S. this month. If you want to take advantage, you’ll need to book before October 31, 2025, and fly between November 1 and December 31, 2025.

And before we go too far, understand that these flights can’t be canceled for a refund. Your travel plans should be firm before you confirm a reservation.

Business Class Deals

Fly with LOT Polish from Chicago (ORD) to Warsaw (WAW) round-trip in business class for 61,000 miles per person.

Economy Deals

Fly from Chicago to Warsaw round-trip in economy for 25,000 miles per person.

Earning Lufthansa Miles

When looking purely at the mileage cost, these flights offer some pretty incredible bargains. Unfortunately, earning Lufthansa miles can be difficult, as Miles & More doesn’t partner with any transferable point currency, and the taxes and fees can be very expensive.

However, if you’re interested in taking advantage of these monthly promotions, you may want to consider signing up for the co-branded Lufthansa credit card. Issued by Barclays, the Miles & More^® World Elite Mastercard^® currently features a generous welcome bonus offer after meeting the minimum spend.

Final Thoughts

This is a disappointing trend for Lufthansa’s monthly Mileage Bargains. Last month, we hoped the abysmal offerings from the U.S. were an anomaly, but apparently that wasn’t the case.

Still, if the available route suits your travel plans, there’s no denying it’s a good deal at just 25,000 miles for a round-trip flight from Chicago to Poland. Paying 42,000 or 61,000 for round-trip flights in premium economy and business class, respectively, also present good value.

However, taxes are high, and earning Lufthansa miles isn’t as simple as transferring your credit card points. Instead, you’ll want to grab the Lufthansa Miles & More card or take advantage of other methods to help build your balance. If you’ve got the required miles and can travel during the eligible window, these monthly offers present great value.

We just wish there were more of them — you know, like it used to be.
