London to Milan £99 return for 2 people!!

ag120

Lufthansa are operating a new direct route between London Heathrow and Milan Malpensa. To promote the new route they are advertising a promotional fare of £99 return for 2 people travelling together. For a full service carrier that is a great price for 1 person but is an absolute steel for 2!!

Anyone fancy a long weekend in Milan?

Their web site does claim that their return fares to Europe begin at 49 pounds inclusive, but I have never managed to find one.

Malpensa is a long way out of town (perhaps an hour), but great if you are hiring a car and don't want to tangle with the traffic.

...their clain is actually 49 pounds ONEWAY. I got one about 3 weeks ago but they wanted a huge amount for the return trip so I came back with easyjet. The 49 one way fares seem to be available if you can book a long time in advance or are flying when demand is low

Malpensa isn't too bad. There is a direct train into central Milan (I lived there when there was only a coach service which was a pain) but it is direct. You can also change onto the line for Lake Como if you fancy going up to the lakes.

I assume the flight will go into the new terminal unlike Easyjet so the train station is under ther terminal and easy to use.

My wife has travelled to Milan recently on Ryanair (Bergamo) for 2p return. Yes you read that right - 2p. She had to use an electron card to do it.

Even without that as an absurd example I would consider £49.50 return as quite expensive with Ryanair. Even after adding the check in baggage, etc. we can normally find flights where she can travel at most for around £35 return.

ag120 you need to get out more.
