That’s not a typo….
Lufthansa has launched a fare sale targeting the Nordics with amazing deals. By far and away the best pricing is from Boston which has the lowest fare of the sale with a $349 deal to Copenhagen. On a per mile basis, Seattle comes in with an attractive value to Stockholm for only $469!
Aside from these good deals, most fares to the Nordics from the East Coast range in the $500-600 range and from $700-900 from the West Coast.
Before you say anything about traveling to the North when its the middle of Winter, ask yourself when was the last time you saw the ‘Northern Lights’ light up the evening sky as if it were day? Or where else on the planet can you take in the quiet beauty of Winter that is only possible in Scandinavia? Keep in mind that it’s ‘off season’ as well, so there will be great deals to be had on lodging as well. Like those Hotels made out of Ice for example!
The terms are as follows:
Tickets must be purchased by December 31, 2016
Tickets must be purchased at least 10 days ahead of depature date
You can depart between December 24 and April 6, 2017
You must return by October 6, 2017
If you book travel on Weekend Day you may be subject to a $60 surcharge.

Tonight’s flight from Houston to Frankfurt made an emergency landing at JFK in New York after the flight crew received word that a bomb threat was issued to the airline. The A380 had approximately 500 passengers and crew that exited the aircraft without incident.
The aircraft is still at JFK as of this post while Police and Security officials search the plane to confirm that no explosives are on board. It’s expected that the plane will continue on to Frankfurt later this evening.
Here is the flight path of LH441 as it approached the northeast. You’ll see the plane began its emergency decent while over New Jersey and made its turn back to JFK after dumping enough fuel and losing enough altitude while over Long Island, NY:

A few days ago I posted about Lufthansa’s special event to celebrate their first A350 that would take passengers on a round-trip between Munich and Hamburg.
For whatever reason, LH stopped accepting bookings for a few days, but now has communicated that tickets will be available beginning December 13. I’m not sure if that means midnights Central Europe Time, or not, but at some point tomorrow you can book a round trip ticket scheduled for February 9 for only €179.
The special A350 flight will operate as LH350 on the outbound and LH359 for the return flight. The flight from Munich will depart at 10:30a and return to leave Hamburg at approximately 5:00p for the return flight to Munich.
If your one of the lucky early bookers, you have a chance of sitting in Business Class. Tickets are the same price regardless of class, so the earlier to try to book the better odds you have of sitting in Business. FYI, the A350 fleet will not have a First Class cabin, so don’t look for those seats when booking.
The flight can be booked through Lufthansa’s dedicated A350 webpage.
