Tip: Lufthansa €99 Deals
It may surprise many on here to know that often Lufthansa can work out the same or even slightly cheaper than many budget carriers. For example I recently got a €99 return ticket from Frankfurt to Edinburgh, the only extra was a few €'s booking fee via Expedia. This often works out cheaper than their own Germanwings. You need to book well in advance (4-8 weeks) but the plus side is there are no nasty surprises like with some of the other budget airlines.

Nothing new here. Sometime ago it used to be possible to book these on the LH USA site for 119$ and that´s even less than the 99€. Then there was the possibility to book these on www.lufthansa.ie without TSC, so for 89€.
And these used to be quite refundable as only the base fare was not refundable. Then LH started to lower the YQ fuel surcharge on these and increased the base fare from a few euros to 30 or so. Then they also started charging a refund fee of 30 or so euros. So, these aren´t as good as they used to be, but still a good deal.
