New Lufthansa business class flight sale launched
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
Yesterday I flagged up the British Airways First and Club World sale, which covers the Easter and early Summer period.
Now it is Lufthansa‘s turn to try to entice UK travellers onto its sloping business class seats (on most planes, although you may get lucky! The new 747-800 aircraft do have the new fully flat business class seat installed).
Click here to see the full list of Lufthansa sale destinations.
You need to book by this Monday, the 12th. Some destinations are better than others – £1,599 to Dubai is a bit of a joke at a time when the temperature will be 45 degrees centigrade, especially as BA is offering it at £1,199 in their sale. However, some of the Asian cities at the £1,800-mark do look more interesting.
Regional departures from Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Manchester are also available.
Travel dates are 1st July to 31st August.

How to earn Star Alliance miles from UK credit cards (April 2025)
None of the Star Alliance airlines currently have a UK credit card.
There is, however, still a way to earn Star Alliance miles from a UK credit card.
The route is via Marriott Bonvoy. Marriott Bonvoy hotel loyalty points convert to over 40 airlines at the rate of 3:1.
The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points is via the official Marriott Bonvoy American Express card. It comes with 20,000 points for signing up and 2 points for every £1 you spend. At 2 Bonvoy points per £1, you are earning (at 3:1) 0.66 airline miles per £1 spent on the card.
There is a preferential conversion rate to United Airlines – which is a Star Alliance member – of 2 : 1 if you convert 60,000 Bonvoy points at once.
The Star Alliance members which are Marriott Bonvoy transfer partners are: Aegean, Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Avianca, Copa Airlines, Singapore Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines and United Airlines.
