Star Alliance carrier Lufthansa has re-deployed its Airbus A340-600 on flights to Bogotá. That means the Colombian capital is a Lufthansa First Class destination again. With departure from Amsterdam, you can now buy first class tickets to a bevy of Colombian destinations; as well as Guayaquil & Quito, Ecuador for less than €3,000.

All flights include business class trips between Amsterdam and Frankfurt and first class flights from Frankfurt to Bogotá. From the Colombian capital, Star Alliance partner Avianca brings you to your destination in economy class.

The following destinations are available for less than €3,000:

While Lufthansa’s best price search (linked above) is the most convenient way to find availabilities, you can also use our Go2 form to search for dates. It will forward you to Lufthansa’s website. Flights are available in February and March 2024.

Flights to Bogotá, Medellín, and Lima for less than €3,000 are marked green. Availability to other destinations is pretty similar.

Schengen flights feature Lufthansa’s European Business on their Airbus A320 family aircraft. An Airbus A340-600 will host you during the eleven-hour flight to Bogotá, with all Lufthansa first class amenities. Avianca or LATAM will host you in their business class if you decide to continue your journey to another South American destination.

You have plenty of possible connections you can choose from at the same fare. In the end, it depends on how much time you want to spend in Lufthansa’s First Class Lounge. Take a look at this review to find out what Lufthansa’s top-notch product is like:

Lufthansa First Class

Lufthansa has its own terminal for First Class passengers! This and the food in Lufthansa’s First Class are widely considered to be among the best. The First Class terminal has its own airport security control, free food, hotel-like rooms with bed and bathtub, and so on. You get driven to the plane in a limousine.

The seat can be turned into a 210 cm long bed (roughly 80 cm wide) and has all the usual comforts, such as power sockets, inflight entertainment, WIFI, and so on.

Search & Book

The key data for this fare are the following:

  • Sales Period: Unknown
  • Travel Period: After October 2023.
  • Minimum Stay: Eight Days between arrival in and departure from your destination.

Since Google Flights displays these flights mostly accurately, you can use its calendar function to find suiting flight dates (instructions). Since we strongly recommend booking via lufthansa.com, the airlines’ best price search is the more convenient option.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

Lufthansa tickets short-haul segments in booking class J and transatlantic flights in booking class A. Both are full premium fare booking classes that generate awesome earnings. South American legs on Avianca are booking class H. A roundtrip ticket to Lima earns you the following mileage:

  • 41,396 Miles on Aegean Miles+Bonus
  • 40,222 Points on SAS EuroBonus
