Lufthansa is running a fare sale until this Sunday, September 28, targeting travel from Germany to destinatons througout Europe. LH has set aside 1 million tickets for travel between November 1 and March 18 with fares starting as low as €99.
The fare covers most, if not all, of LH’s European destinations and the only black-out period seems to be for departures surrounding the days around Christmas.
Specifically, departures must take place between November 1 and December 18 and return travel must take place between November 2 and March 18. The fare sale does allow you book return travel during the Christmas holiday period.
A one night stay is required if traveling to a German destination. If traveling to a European city outside of Germany there are 3 minimum stay options: 3 nights, a Friday night OR a Saturday night. This makes it relatively easy to book a weekend trip at reasonable rates.

LUFTHANSA is planning to celebrate it’s 60th Anniversary by dressing one of their 747-8i aircraft in a retro-livery set to debut in April 2015.
The livery will be carried by D-ABYS, which will be the 17th 747-8i delivered to Lufthansa. ‘Yankee Sierra’ was chosen as the canvas for the new livery because it’s delivery is scheduled for April, coinciding with the anniversary.
The livery will be the one carried by Lufthansa aircraft from the 1970s through 90s before the introduction of the current livery. For those of you who recall this classic livery, you’ll remember that this livery sported a polished/unpainted aluminum ‘underbelly’. Unfortunately this will not carry forward to the retro livery. However, all other aspects of it will be in place.
To give you an idea of what the aircraft and livery will look like, here is a photo from Lufthansa’s archive showing a classic 747:
Lufthansa’s D-ABYS, scheduled for April 2015 delivery will sport this classic look……
