The Big Picture

A wave of new award space just opened on the Lufthansa A380-800 route from Denver (DEN) to Munich (MUC) for Summer 2026, with business class seats available nearly every day. All confirmed dates have at least two seats, and some show as many as six or more—making this an excellent opportunity for couples or small groups planning European travel next summer.

Nonstop business class flights can be booked through Air Canada Aeroplan for 70,000 miles each way, with taxes and fees of $57 outbound and $199 on the return. These flights are operated by Lufthansa aboard the double-decker A380, with the business class cabin located on the upper deck for a quieter and more spacious experience.

Be aware of the cancellation policy: Air Canada charges CA$100 to change and CA$150 to cancel an award ticket. If you prefer more flexibility, consider booking the same flights through United’s website, which has a more lenient cancellation policy. United’s rates are slightly higher—88,000 miles each way (or 80,000 miles if you hold a United co-branded credit card)—but taxes and fees are lower at $6 outbound and $146 return.
