Earlier this week I wrote about the Lifemiles award sale, which is valid for bookings made through tomorrow.

I tested pricing on many of the routes, but I failed to find anything in business class from JFK to Brussels on Brussels Airlines, even when United.com showed there was availability. The pricing on the sale page was also wonky, showing that it was normally 22K miles in business class and was on sale for 18,700 miles. Chalking it up to a glitch, I didn’t mention it in the post.

However, DDF member yanky1 pointed out that although the outbound leg isn’t bookable in business class, the return leg from Brussels to JFK is bookable and it’s on sale for just 25,500 miles one-way in business class!

Brussels Airlines flies A330s on the route with staggered lie-flat seating in alternating 1-2-1 and 2-1-2 configuration.

When you search on Lifemiles’ site, change from Smart Search to Star Alliance:

Best of all, availability is wide open, with up to 6 available seats per flight as per United’s legacy award calendar, which is my preferred method for searching for Star Alliance availability. While United charges 75K miles for the flight (or more close-in), it’s just 25.5K when booked via Lifemiles!

While flights from Brussels to JFK can easily be had for 25.5K Lifemiles in business class, the JFK to Brussels flights don’t appear to have any business availability via Lifemiles. I was only successful in getting the JFK to Brussels flight to show as available in economy for 22K Lifemiles.

If you want to fly in business class from JFK to Brussels, there is availability to book with other Star Alliance airline miles, such as for 60K Air Canada miles each way.
