looking at the updated offers, it shows OS VIE-NRT until Sept 3 (the actual last return from NRT is on Sept 4, but that seems to be excluded). However there is no availability shown in August/September at all for the discount mileage when I try to search for flights. May it be that it is not yet loaded in the GDS even though it's listed on the meilenschnaeppchen site?

I wish I could figure out in what order destinations are listed.

Well I also like it and the promotion in Business class are there again.
But anybody actually tried booking one of the bargains?
Because when I try to it get stuck on the second page saying I need to choose an airport of departure, but it is not possible to make changes to that field.
I wonder if everybody is having the same problem or if its just me?

Have the same problem, but I just book them on miles-and-more.com directly and not via the promo-site.

Nothing was wrong with the old site... on the new site I miss the option to sort the results.

On the old one the slider for country of departure didn't work much for my Chrome.
New one filters work, and top that with specific departure and destination cities from a drop down menu.
Filter by airline could be useful too, but only LH is available in the menu (while there are others available).

Choice of pictures is interesting and for whatever reason some destinations are available for 20-25k (maybe due to the upcoming price hikes)?

Nice, but a bit annoying you can't see the time to book and travel time in the overview anymore.

I think 55k round trip to Capetown in business is a good deal in the latest round of bargains. Osaka for 70k in business is pretty good, too. More here:

Indeed, tempting ! But I can't find any availability on M&M. Tried numerous dates from TXL and HAM but all I can't find is economy for 60k between 01/02 and 15/03/17.

Cape Town dissapeared from the list.
Was just finally planning to use the miles I've saved for.

Will wait another month, hopefully i get lucky

When I go to the page, however, it is blank except for the titles (Miles and More...) at the top.

Is this because there are no bargains currently available?
Or is it because of my browser (Safari), or something else?

I'd assume it's browser-related since I have no trouble seeing the various mileage offers (using Firefox here).
