Shoulder season (April-May and September-October) typically prices 20-30% below peak summer. November-March is the cheapest window but weather is the trade-off. Through a consolidator, 3-6 months ahead of travel is the value window for cash; for miles redemptions, 9-11 months ahead is the saver-award sweet spot.
Direct on Lufthansa Allegris is the cleanest path when available. One-stop alternatives via European or Middle East hubs occasionally price 10-20% below direct, especially in shoulder season. The trade-off is total transit time (typically 4-8 extra hours via connection) and the connection hub experience. For sleep-prioritized travelers, direct wins; for budget-prioritized travelers, one-stop is worth considering.
