Short of Miles&More Miles?
If you are short of more miles, you can buy them for during the promotion.
How much Taxes would you pay?
Miles & Miles have significant tax & fuel surcharges.
Let’s take an example of an economy flight between Bangalore (BLR) & Munich, which costs 38.5K. This 38.5K includes a carrier-imposed surcharge (YQ) of 14827, which is charged for all economy flights from India by Miles & More. This will be increased by other charges, excluding YR.
The good thing is that business Class carrier-imposed charges (YQ) are not very significant compared to Economy flights.
