Eurowings launching low cost flights from Germany to Dubai

If you’re looking for a low cost way to get to Dubai, Lufthansa’s Eurowings subsidiary is launching flights in November.
Flights will operate from Stuttgart and Berlin.
There will be two flights per week from Stuttgart (Thursday and Sunday) and, after a ramp up, four per week from Berlin (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday).
The snag is that Eurowings will use an A321neo aircraft. This is a single aisle aircraft.
It does NOT come with flat bed seats in Business Class, so anyone with a premium ticket will have a British Airways-style ’empty middle seat’ Business Class experience for six hours.
Economy is a different matter. Fares will start at €199 each way and if you could get a promotional deal it could well be cheaper than a direct flight from the UK. Seats will also be available for Miles & More miles.

How to earn Star Alliance miles from UK credit cards (April 2025)
None of the Star Alliance airlines currently have a UK credit card.
There is, however, still a way to earn Star Alliance miles from a UK credit card.
The route is via Marriott Bonvoy. Marriott Bonvoy hotel loyalty points convert to over 40 airlines at the rate of 3:1.
The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points is via the official Marriott Bonvoy American Express card. It comes with 20,000 points for signing up and 2 points for every £1 you spend. At 2 Bonvoy points per £1, you are earning (at 3:1) 0.66 airline miles per £1 spent on the card.
There is a preferential conversion rate to United Airlines – which is a Star Alliance member – of 2 : 1 if you convert 60,000 Bonvoy points at once.
The Star Alliance members which are Marriott Bonvoy transfer partners are: Aegean, Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Avianca, Copa Airlines, Singapore Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines and United Airlines.
