Ex-US it's showing Baku at 30k from Seattle in Y or 55k in C, but from IAD (like other European destinations). The other way around, it's only IAD in C @55, no sign of SEA.

Oddly, I thought the mileage bargains worked in both directions, but maybe it's different for flights to and from the US.

I noticed that too. They seem to be getting slower and slower to update the special offers page. I think they would be better making special offers every two, or even three, months.

I think the policy of having mileage bragains far in advance is very stupid policy limiting the access to these bargains for short notice travel.

The bargains are in the 'exclusive' magazine mailed out to elite members each month, and there are offers for may 2016.

Yep, German mailing address only. Even I don't get it mailed. They are available in the lounge though.

There aren't really any bargains for short notice travel anyway (flysmart isn't really such a bargain).

Are there any hoops involved in booking those?

Well, FlySmarts can be, for last minute travel. I've made good use of them in the past. I'm just surprised that nothing has been loaded on the website so far, although it is a Sunday today.

They can be, but of a different kind - no long haul C, minor discount for long haul Y and the best price short haul isn't really that impressive for the Meilenschnäppchen as advance purchase fares often can be had for lower then the taxes&fees.

Except there aren't any mileage bargains right now, they seem to have stopped them for the moment.

The offers are loaded into the booking system, but not on the webpage. The VFTers are keeping track: http://www.vielfliegertreff.de/miles...ai-2016-a.html

Those deals are still not up on the website. What's wrong with them? Have they really given up the ghost? I feel M&M is becoming very corpse like.
