During a press event in Rome today, Lufthansa reflected on it’s success with Italy over the past year as well as reviewed their strategy going forward.
Lufthansa’s director for Italy,Thomas Eggert, cited that Lufthansa increased passenger traffic by 10% between 2010 and 2011. In his comments, he also committed that Lufthansa will continue and increase their commitment to the Italian travel market and stated that Italy was Lufthansa’s most important European market (not including Germany) and third most important market worldwide.
With Lufthansa recently adding 27 new flights from Berlin to airports in Italy, it is obvious that they are delivering on the committment. In addition, new flights between Palermo (Sicily) and Munich as well as between Bologna and Dusseldorf further expand Lufthansa’s reach into Italy.
Aage Dünhaupt, Lufthansa’s Communication Director for Europe put things into an interesting perspective when he suggested that Lufthansa has more destinations to Italy (with 18) than it does to the North America. If that doesn’t put their commitment to Italy in perspective, I don’t know what would!

The Miles & More “Regional” website for Munich is currently sponsoring a contest that will award the winner a Helicopter Tour over Munich for 2. The contest is open for entries until July 11 and the winner will be notified via e-mail.
The helicopter ride will be provided by Heliflieger.com .
To enter, you need to answer a question regarding one of the benefits of being a Miles & More member and provide your Miles & More number along with your name. I would give a hint at the answer, but I am not sure if the question stays the same for any given entry.
After reading through the terms & conditions I did not see any exclusions as far as country of citizenship is concerned, so I ASSUME it’s open to all.
PLEASE NOTE: The sweepstakes is only for the helicopter ride and does not include any Lufthansa flights to and from Munich. You would have to arrange for all of your transportation. Since the date of the flight will be chosen by you, you might be able to build this into your travel plans.
Be aware that the website is in German and there is no option for any other language. This should not be a problem if your browser automatically translates a website into a language of your choosing.
To sign up for this sweepstakes, please visit the Sweepstakes Entry Webpage.
