Lufthansa has announced a fare sale (Ends October 11) for travel between the US and Europe through the end of November. Now that we are entering the off-peak travel season, this is a great time to see some of Europe’s greatest cities and attractions with far fewer tourists and crowds, not to mention airfares that are about half off of their normal peak rates!

Attractive sample fares include :

New York-Dusseldorf for only $688.
Chicago-Istanbul for only $799.
Los Angeles-Berlin for only $789.
Seattle-Istanbul for only $949.

Most of the fares are lower than competitor fares based on a search using Kayak.com. Most competitor fares were ranging $100-$300 more for the same origins and destinations. This is a good opportunity to see Europe in the fall and add miles to your Frequent Flyer accounts as the year starts to wind down.

Depart between: August 29 & October 31, 2012
