Star Alliance airlines Lufthansa, SWISS, and Air Canada currently have a companion sale which is absolutely fantastic. As long as you book at least 2 seats, you’ll be paying unbeatable prices, flying for prices starting at only €1,036 per person! That’s an amazing price for these airlines. You can start from Milan, Rome, Venice, or Bologna.
We found flights from Milan to the following destinations:
- São Paulo: €1,036
- Singapore: €1,039
- Bogotá: €1,062
- Bangkok: €1,133
- Malabo: €1,156
- Nairobi: €1,163
- Miami: €1,173
- Dar es Salaam: €1,186
- New York: €1,219
- Boston: €1,373
- Chicago: €1,408
The prices are almost identical from the other Italian airports.
Not only are the prices extremely cheap, but the flights are very good, in the sense that they usually only have a short layover in Frankfurt or Zurich, from where you’ll directly continue to your final destination (with some exceptions).
Search & Book
This companion sale is set to expire on March 23, 2020. Until then, you can book these cheap flights for March until December (not all dates are available, of course), as long as you respect the minimum stay requirement of 6 days, and your trip does not exceed 3 months.
Again, this is a companion sale. To get these great prices, you have to book at least 2 seats!
You can find the available dates using Google Flights, and should then book via our Travel-Dealz flight search to get the cheapest available price. Alternatively, you could also book directly on Lufthansa’s website.
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.
Miles
The tickets are all issued in the lowest business class, P. A roundtrip from Milan to Sao Paulo, via Zurich, for instance, should get you:
- 15,246 Miles on Singapore KrisFlyer
- 13,542 Miles on Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
- 13,442 Award Miles + 480 Points on Miles&More
- 13,142 Points on SAS EuroBonus
- 12,942 Miles on Aegean Miles+Bonus
- 12,196 Award Miles + 2,438 PQP on United MileagePlus
- 12,196 Miles on Asiana Club
- 12,196 Miles on Avianca LifeMiles
- 12,196 Miles on Copa ConnectMiles
- 12,196 Miles on Ethiopian ShebaMiles
- 12,196 Miles on EVA Infinity MileageLands
- 12,196 Award Miles on LATAM Pass
- 12,196 Miles on TAP Miles&Go
- 12,196 Miles on Thai Royal Orchid Plus
- 12,196 Miles on Egyptair Plus
- 12,192 Miles on Air Canada Aeroplan
- 8,538 Miles on ANA Mileage Club

Hello,
It looks like the offer is also available in First class and Premium Economy (different promo in Economy class)! And also with more destinations – found Japan and South Africa for example.
Happy travels!
Thanks for the heads up, Firenze!
