Lufthansa and Swiss have just kicked off a tiny first class flash sale that offers first class travel to a handful of destinations for the price of a business class ticket. Once again, Stockholm is the golden departure point for these offers.
Destinations
Return prices in first class from Stockholm
- Bogota from £2,150 return
- Johannesburg from £2,200
- Muscat from £2,198
- Dubai from £1,942
The Catch
There are 2 sectors on the outbound with some journeys having a painful 3 sectors on the return – a couple of intra-European hops after the long-haul return back into either Zurich or Frankfurt. Jo’burg looks the nicest option and best value, with it being bang-on our £85/flying hour target for first class on a 4-star carrier, yet including 5-star Lufthansa First in one direction!
Travel Dates
Availability is looking great between mid-October 2019 and early-June 2020 – loads of scope to take advantage!
