Hi

Last week I bought my first Award Tickets from São Paulo to Vienna. It was really cheap, I wrote a lot about how bad is MM program, but found business class for 48 EURO!!! I did not believe that it is possible, before that I called to German MM and asked for a ticket from VIE to RIO or SAO Paulo, 'support' told me that I have to pay 135k miles and 500 euro taxes for Business if I want to fly with Portugal or Swiss, so I decided to end my trip with BRAZIL.

Anyway, I am happy, but I wounder, is it always so? From Brazil to Europe is it always cheap? and does anyone know any other destinations with price not more than 100 EURO for a business class? I would like to buy for a Winter a trip to Costa Rica, but nothing found anything yet. Any inside info?

Fuel surcharges are banned for flights starting in Brazil, hence why it was so cheap.

I hope they do the same here in the US as M&M and BAEC YQ are skyrocketing

Can you still book those if your M&M address is based in Europe? Or does it reprice at the 'normal' rip-off tax level when you get to the stage when you actually pay?

You can book it from Europe as well, I have a German address.

500€ difference, yikes!

The bottom line here is that LH openly rip us off an additional €500 !!

I thought LH has axed MUC-GRU.

The bottom line is that we can rip LH off 500€ when flying ex Brazil. I know pretty well that I have to pay YQ and getting such relief is a windfall profit for me.

What prevents other countries from doing this?

Flights to/from Brazil also have higher baggage allowances as well!
