Travel periods vary by airline and route. For Eurowings, ITA Airways, Luxair, and Croatia Airlines, the travel period is from 15 October 2026 to 30 November 2026. LOT Polish Airlines flights are available for travel from 01 October 2026 to 30 November 2026. Brussels Airlines offers short-haul travel from 15 October 2026 to 30 November 2026, while long-haul flights are available from 15 December 2026 to 31 January 2027.

Since the introduction of dynamic award pricing, Meilenschnäppchen are primarily offered by these partner airlines, with Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, and Discover no longer participating.

Business Class long-haul redemptions are available with Brussels Airlines to New York (JFK) and with LOT Polish Airlines to Los Angeles, both priced at 61,000 miles for a return flight. Other Business Class offers include various Eurowings destinations such as Jeddah, Cairo, Amman, and Dubai for 43,000 miles, and ITA Airways to Algiers for 43,000 miles.

Premium Economy Class long-haul flights are available with LOT Polish Airlines to Los Angeles and Brussels Airlines to New York (JFK) for 42,000 miles. A range of Economy Class flights are also included with Eurowings to destinations like Jeddah, Las Palmas, Dubai, and Tel Aviv for 26,000 miles.

While the mileage requirement for these offers is significantly reduced compared to regular awards, taxes, fees, and airline surcharges remain applicable and are not discounted. These additional costs can vary considerably based on the airline, route, and departure airport. For long-haul Business Class, LOT Polish Airlines typically incurs surcharges of 200 to 300 Euros, whereas Brussels Airlines flights to North America can exceed 1,000 Euros in additional costs, such as the 1,496 Euros reported for a return Business Class flight from Brussels to New York (JFK).

Opinion

The latest Miles & More Meilenschnäppchen continue the trend of limited long-haul Business Class options from partner airlines. The mileage savings for routes like New York and Los Angeles are substantial, but the accompanying cash co-pays, especially with Brussels Airlines, are simply outrageous. Paying over 1,000 Euros in surcharges alongside 61,000 miles fundamentally undermines the value proposition of using miles. W
