USA from £987 / €1,081 in Star Alliance Business Class From UK

Polaris Business Class 767

Virgin and its SkyTeam partners were offering business class tickets from London to the US from €1,100 since last Monday. Now, Star Alliance followed and offers reasonable business class tickets from London to the US as well. Travel is possible until June 2021.

Info

Travel to the US is restrcited right now. Travellers from Europe are not permitted to enter the US (apart from a few exceptions). There are some rumours that the US may open again soon, but those rumours have turned out to be just that in the past.

If you have to rebook travel, all airlines are offering corona related policies. Lufthansa, United and Air Canada permit a rebooking without fees, however the fare difference will be due. This can unfortunately end up in having to pay a few hundred Euros more than initially planned. Air Canada even permits full cancellation of the tickets including the issue of a voucher in the amount of your ticket price.

With Lufthansa, United, Air Canada etc. prices start at £987 (~€1,156) from London to various destinations in the US:

The nonstop flights in United’s Polaris business class are surely the most interesting part of this deal. However, this nonstop flight is even cheaper (not in Polaris):

LH C LHR SFO GBP986
Business Class from London to San Francisco for £987 (~€1,156) – nonstop with United

United will operate these flights in their Boeing 767, Boeing 787 and Boeing 777. Boeing 767 and 777 mostly feature the new Polaris business class, but not in every case. Flights from Edinburg are operated in United’s Boeing 757. These aeroplanes will at least feature lie-flat business class seats.

If you are deciding for a flight with a connection, you can also fly with Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian, Brussels Airlines or Air Canada.
