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.

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

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.

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
