The latest set of Miles & More Mileage Bargains (Meilenschnaeppchen) discounted mileage awards are here for this month. A little later than usual but they have been finally released. Once again we see a lot of routes from around the world where you can save 50 to 51% off award flights. For those in the U.S. there are over 560 options to fly on Lufthansa, LOT, SWISS, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings and Austrian Airlines across all fare classes. For those Germany you have over 145 options on almost every Lufthansa Group airline including the likes of Air Dolomiti, Lufthansa, SWISS and Luxair and the list goes on for many countries around the world.
The typical discounts are as follows across the all the airlines and offers:
- Economy Class 50% off (for example a transatlantic round trip is 30,000 miles instead of 60,000)
- Premium Economy 50% off (for example a transatlantic round trip is 40,000 miles instead of 80,000)
- Business Class over 50% off (for example a transatlantic round trip is 55,000 miles instead of 112,000 or 60,000 miles instead of 127,000)
Most of this month’s offers must be booked by October 31, 2022 and depending on the route and airline are good for flights between October and February with the majority being in January and February.
To find what offers are available from your country simply scroll down on the Mileage Bargains page and click on the ‘Filters’ tab:
And then you can select your country right under the ‘Flights From’ heading and the page will update with all the offers available for that location. You can then further narrow down your search by departure airport, service class, airline etc.
Here are some examples of this month’s offers:
If you live in a country where they have Miles & More credit cards these discounted offers are truly within reach and something to really consider taking advantage of. The reason being is that outside of Miles & More’s home countries there aren’t a lot of options to earn Miles & More miles unless you travel frequently and credit your flights and hotel stays to Miles & More.
Once upon a time you could convert Marriott Bonvoy points to Miles & More so that made it relatively easier to get their miles but that conversion option ended and the only hotel conversion option is from Radisson Rewards and it’s not a good value. However for the month of October there is a 50% bonus for converting Radisson Rewards Americas points to Miles & More.

Is there a way to check LH availability without having enough miles in my account? I wouldn’t want to transfer any points without knowing availability first.
Unfortunately no, not that I am aware of. Do you have any miles in your Miles & More account? It used to be you only needed a small amount to search. If that is still the case there are some offers for some free miles like 500 Bonus Miles & More Miles when you download and log in to the Miles & More app for the first time. https://www.miles-and-more.com/de/en/program/at-a-glance/app.html
Seems like no longer the case. I have about 7k miles in my account, but when I search just get a message that I don’t have enough mikes for that itinerary.
It really boggles the mind why airlines and programs do this. They are potentially losing business by not allowing people to search for flights.
My only suggestion would be to call them and see if your itinerary is available with the Mileage Bargains.
