Lufthansa launches a 2-4-1 sale from Amsterdam
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
A few weeks ago we covered a strong 241 sale that Lufthansa and SWISS were running from the UK.
The action has now moved on to Amsterdam. This clearly adds an extra element of risk – you need to able to access the Netherlands AND Germany or Switzerland to connect AND your final destination – but the prices may tempt you for later in 2021.
It is good for travel dates up to 16th December 2021.
You can see full details here.
Deals include, and this is only a small sample:
- Sydney for €1,700 return
- Johannesburg for €1,250 return
- Dubai for €999 return
These prices are for Business Class flights, return, for a party of 2-6 people.
First Class deals are also available.
You cannot refund these tickets but you can change the date, subject to any fare difference. The fare difference could be chunky, of course. Lufthansa’s rebooking policy is here.

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.
