Lufthansa companion sale: incredible business and first class deals

Lufthansa’s companion sale is back, with some incredible deals! As airfares have soared over the last few years I’m very surprised to see deals that are on a par with, or even better than what we got pre-covid.

The UK promotion page is here.

  • Two passengers travelling together, return only
  • Applies to premium economy, business and first class
  • Operated by Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian or Brussels Airlines
  • Book by September 3
  • Travel by June 30, 2025
  • No stopover is allowed

On the page there are participating routes with suggested prices. Here are what I think that stand out (prices are total for two passengers):

  • (premium) Manchester – Hong Kong £1,219
  • (business) London – Dubai £1,419
  • (business) London – Johannesburg £2,079
  • (business) London – Rio de Janeiro £2,199
  • (business) London – Seoul £2,309
  • (first) Manchester – Hong Kong £4,449
  • (first) Manchester – Buenos Aires £3,989

Well, £700 to Dubai and £1,000 to South America from London, you can’t really get any better than that! The best deal however is arguably the first class ones, as paying £2,000 for Lufthansa’s highly-rated first class is a rare chance, and I’m looking to cross that off my list at some point.

Manchester – Hong Kong, Jan 24 – Feb 9, First

The search engine on the offer page displays a price calendar which is useful. I couldn’t get Google Flights to work though which is a shame. There are other bargains which are not listed – for example Birmingham – Dubai for two in business class is also around £1,500.

Besides the UK, similar offers are available for departures from Northern Europe. For example (prices are per person):

Make sure you understand the fare buckets before you book: Lufthansa uses the special P bucket for business promo fares like this, which don’t credit to many of its partner programs.
