[PREM FARE GONE] LH VCE to BOG 920-950 USD per person minimum of two
 
Just booked this great fare for Jun next year. Still waiting for e tkts to arrive.
After finding here a fare from Vienna for about 1100 eur, I checked for curiosity from Venice which is much closer to me. Hey, what a surprise! Great deal. I played a little with Kayak and Momondo which redirect you to others like Expedia, Orbitz and others. Fares vary, sometimes get higher and I finally booked through Expedia. I picked in June, but I think it is highly available through other months as well
On one leg you get direct Fra-bog on 346, on other leg you get an extra stop in PTY or SJC or MIA where you can also combine with LX or OS. So I choose bog-mia on Av 330 connecting to Zrh on LX 330. So all lie flats I suppose anddifferent products to compare.
Just hoping they are not cancelling this fare!

I can't replicate. Do you have GFlights links?

The fare is there, but I can't get it to price...

Works on Kayak. 2 pax min

I see PAXCNIA as a companion fare:

NOTE - THE FOLLOWING TEXT IS INFORMATIONAL AND NOT
VALIDATED FOR AUTOPRICING.
LUFTHANSA COMPANION FARE
APPLICATION
AREA
THESE FARES APPLY
FROM AREA 2
TO AREA 1.
CLASS OF SERVICE
THESE FARES APPLY FOR BUSINESS CLASS SERVICE.

This fare does show up for me when searching on ITA for 2 passengers, but the a.i. price per passenger is ~US$1500. The base fare (per passenger) is indeed ~US$780, but there also is a YQ of US$575 and then some taxes. On ITA, I cannot replicate the cheap a.i. price the OP found, not when looking for two passengers and certainly not when looking for just one passenger.

Edited to add: OP is correct, the price does show up when searching for 2 passengers on kayak, and it can also be pulled up on expedia e.g. Nov. 14 - 21 when doing a simple VCE-BOG search for 2 passengers in business.

Have played around with this and I also see the fare. Works out of MXP too (probably other) and for a single passenger too.

Was about to pull the trigger, but I'm alarmed by the fact that I can only find one TA, Bravofly, that offers the flight. Other OTA's that I see on Expedia, Kayak etc charge the advertised sale-price, so seems this Bravofly has not included YQ!?

Reading this particular OTA's poor online reviews with regard to bad customer service, I'll pass on this, even though a trip to Columbia over Easter was very tempting.

Fingers crossed for all of you who jump on this.

It looks like a self-dump when an AV segment is included...the same happens on first class (fare basis AAXCNIA) which costs ~2.300€ pp.
These companion fares are also availalbe to other destinations (GRU/GIG/EZE/etc) but the routing table doesn't seem to include AV.

thanks just booked MXP-BOG for last week of September and just ticketed. Lufthansa and avianca metal £1400 for 2 people. Great deal!

TerryK Oct 10, 2018 11:39 pm

Great fare. ^ Unfortunately cannot stopover in USA. :(

toppi5000 Oct 11, 2018 12:34 am

possible routing
mxp-zrh-mia (lx p)
mia-bog (av d)
bog-mia (av d)
mia-zrh-mxp (lx p)

fe 6.-13.6.

2 pax, 956 usd pP, travelocity via kayak

thanks to the op for reporting this great fare!

Sorry, forgot to mention that I searched for three pers, so I guess min is two.
i got e tkt numbers which I can see on expedia, as well as on LH and LX my bookings.
So I guess everything is fine.
Go to momondo which redirects you to expedia. When I tryed expedia alone, the price was almost doble.
Good luck to everyone!

Kajetan Oct 11, 2018 2:56 am

Fare also available out of other Italian airports BLQ, FLR, TRN. You can easily find one without going through MIA. Some through PTY.

On on a side note FLR routes via GRU and it’s only $909.

Thanks for sharing. Does anybody have access to the fare rules around minimum stay and travel periods?

klausa Oct 11, 2018 6:38 am

It's been gone for a while now, it has 500E of YQ tacked on now. Still a pretty good deal at ~1300E, but not as amazing as it was before.

Looks like maybe not completely... I just booked using OS on outbound, AV ticketed.
