ARN and GOT to SFO,LAX,EWR,JFK all for between $287-$333usd!

Haven't checked any mileage yet but couldn't help but share these great Lufthansa fares.

https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...018-02-28;eo=e

You can also play around with the dates and add CPH, OSL as the departure city and other North American cities like SEA, ORD,YYZ, and MIA. Basically the entire Lufthansa North American route map.
Please let me know what you think of this find and if it was of help to you!

Appreciate the enthusiasm but these are K class fares on Lufthansa which doesn't earn miles on most airlines. Not a MR.

Where is the appropriate forum for a fare like this then?

Deal Still Alive and Well

This will earn 100% PQM on UA since you're flying a normal *A carrier (namely LH). It's a pity that LH doesn't reward as many PQMs as UA does on their FFP given they are the ones operating this flight (I thought that's the whole point of FFPs and loyalty in general?)

Also of note, this deal also alive and kicking! As a Canadian I'm half tempted to book this flight as it's actually a cheaper fare than for me to fly to LAX from YYZ and I'll be in the area during that time.

Safe Travels,

James

Doh! The moment I make the statement that flying K on LH earns 100% PQM is the moment UA decides to change the rules and mention it no longer earns milage credit.

That being said, still good flight if you care about getting a great deal as opposed to maximizing the BIS.

On flights flown on or after March 1, 2018, you will earn 100% PQM with UA of K flights with LH: https://www.united.com/CMS/en-US/mar...spx?ItemId=298

Seems UA keeps modifying the earning rates for K. The link above now shows 25% earning for LH Deep Discount Economy in K. Better than nothing but not MR worthy

It looks like on that link the RDM is 25% for K fares, PQM is at 100% but 0 PQS for flights after 3/1/18.

Its 100% PQM, most people on this subforum don't care about RDMs

According to the chart K on LH will earn 25% RDM (after March 1st) and 100% PQM.
