Fly Lufthansa A380 New Business Class for 60K Miles

Fly Lufthansa's New Business Class to Europe on the new A380 from 60,000 points per person until October on select flights from Boston and Washington, DC, and from San Francisco in fall 2026 and winter 2027. Most Detroit and some Chicago to Frankfurt flights are on the 787, and Montreal flights are on the A350 with direct aisle access for all seats. Other flights are Lufthansa's older 2-2-2 seating configuration.

Reserve with Aeroplan points for 60K-70K points each way. It's also possible to reserve with 88K United MileagePlus miles (80K miles for United cardholders) or 69K Avianca LifeMiles, although we avoid LifeMiles due to typically terrible customer service.

Flights are to Munich MUC on the new A380 with 1-2-1 seat configuration, where every seat has direct aisle access; there are also dates on the older A380 with 2-2-2 configuration.
