Flying and travelling in today’s environment might not be appealing. But why not snap up a deal in the Q4 2020 when things will hopefully return to normal?
Lufthansa and its partner airlines are offering a massive business class sale from Kiev allowing you to travel to multiple Asian destinations from just EUR 1,030 per person. When choosing to travel to Singapore, you can fly with Singapore Airlines on their A330 and A380, which is an amazing offer for such a product!

Lots of availability throughout the year.
Remember about the generous LH offer lasting until end of March allowing you to rebook for free -> LINK
Lufthansa:
You do not have a reservation yet but like flexible travel options: Book a new ticket until 31 March 2020, and the airlines of the Lufthansa Group will waive the rebooking fees for all newly booked flights worldwide and offer a one-time rebooking – regardless of condition of the original booking fare purchased. You can rebook to a new travel date until 31 December 2020 without rebooking fees.
The Miles

In the time of the global COVID-19 pandemia, booking flights and making travel plans is probably the last thing on your list. It shouldn’t be though – go ahead and book the flight now, reschedule it with Lufthansa for free (!!!) and enjoy your vacation in the last months of 2020 when the craziness is hopefully over.
I found an amazing fare which allows you to fly business class with Lufthansa or Swiss from Madrid to Bangkok (via Frankfurt or Zurich) for as little as EUR 1,092! Both airlines are rated 5* on Skytrax, so you’ll certainly enjoy their solid business class product (LH: on A340, LX: on 777).

Star Alliance is havving a massive business class sale from Paris. You can fly to Asia, South America, Australia and Oceania starting from as little as EUR 970! As this is not an error fare, this is by far one of the best deals in a long time to these regions (30-40% of their ‚normal’ price).
Play around with GF to find even more destinations, I have only posted an excerpt of those, but it seems that Dubai, New Delhi, Hong Kong, Singapore, Lima, Bogota and Johannesburg are all also price below EUR 1,000!
The Dates
In order to price the deal, you need to look for travel dates by June 30th 2020. As airlines are easing their rebooking policy amongs the COVID-19 crisis, you might treat it as an option to rebook and travel later in the year – read however carefully the rebooking rules, as LH (despite offering free rebooking) states, that the ticket must be issued in the same class, which could lead to significant charges if there’s no availability later in the year (note that these tickets go for EUR 2,500+ regularly).

While playing with GF, I came across a very good business class fare from Lisbon to Brazil (São Paulo) starting from EUR 1,468 travelling onboard of Air France.
You’ll departure from Lisbon and hop on a short flight to Paris (CDG), where you’ll board the AF’s 777 and enjoy 11h+ of a solid business class product.

You can take advantage of the COVID-19 outbreak and pre-book your flights already for the winter season, when hopefully the situation is well under control. Flying in business from London on a non-stop flight to Boston for under EUR 1,000? Well, that’s a steal!
Especially if you’re an avgeek and want to try out different cabins and aircrafts. Delta flies their 767 en route to Boston (pretty outdated product in my view). You can however choose to fly with Virgin on their 787 (decent option) or new A350 business class featuring an onboard lounge!

Guadeloupe-based Air Caraibes is offering amazing business class fares for direct flights between Paris and the Carribean from EUR 1,180! Interestingly, Air France matched their fares and is flying for just couple of euros more, e.g. to Havana for just EUR 1,226.
Without AF matching the fare, this would probably go without a fuss (Air Caraibes has only semi lie-flat seats on A330 and only their own mileage program), but with the great product (recently introduced new cabins!) and the mileage earned, why don’t pay up several bucks more and fly with Air France?

Really good prices for business class flights can be found from Warsaw to Malaysia onboard Qatar Airways. You can fly to Kuala Lumpur from EUR 1,452 with a short stopover in Doha.

Singapore Airlines launched a massive business class sale from Stockholm to East Asia and Oceania region. You can travel from as little as EUR 1,437 e.g. to Singapore on their shiny A350-900 with just a technical stopover in Moscow.
When travelling from Singapore onwards, you will most likely have a chance to experience Singapore’s regional business class in their 787-10 (and I mean true business class, not the economy-a-like seats offered by the European carriers!)
