In the coming days and weeks, Business Class passengers traveling on Lufthansa will be greeted by a new and improved Amenity Kit. Considering the Business Class kits used in the past, this looks like a fairly good upgrade.
The kit, from Samsonite, will feature a few minor updates to the contents as LH shifts to ‘Korres’ products. The kit will be available in Black and White versions and should be showing up on long haul flights very soon, if not already in circulation….

For those of you residing in the United Kingdom (or at least have a valid mailing address within it), Lufthansa is giving you the opportunity to win an iPad. The contest celebrates the recent launch of their JetFriends app which is specifically geared towards entertaining young children with travel and airplane related games, challenges, etc.
The contest is a relatively easy one to enter. All you need to do is to capture a funny quote from your child and submit it as the entry. The top 6 quotes as determined by Lufthansa will win a prize. The overall 1st place winner will receive an Apple iPad. The remaining finalists will receive a Beach Goodie Bag.
The contest runs through September 15 and you are allowed only one entry per person. You may want to start keeping track of all the precious things that little ‘Ruttiger’ has to say and then submit his funniest comment near the entry deadline. Use this link to visit the Contest’s Entry Page.
In addition to this contest, if you sign up for JetFriends, you’ll find another contest within the website that will give away a child’s snorkel set for the funniest travel or holiday related photo. You’ll find details for that contest here.
To find out more about the JetFriends app, please visit the JetFriends homepage where you can learn more and sign up so that your child can be entertained and educated for hours!
by Lufthansa Flyer | Aug 6, 2014 | Business Class, Fare Sale, Featured, Swiss |
SWISS is running a fare sale for Business Class travel from the USA to several cities in Europe with pricing start at $2200-2300 (New York – Zurich). Most East Coast and Midwest departures (Chicago) range between $2200 and $2400 while departures from San Francisco and Los Angeles range between $2900 and $3400.
Like most Business Class fare sales, these rates are approximately 50% off of their normal price and are actually very good deals. Traditionally you’ll find the best premium fares of the year during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Take advantage of them if you plan on visiting the Christmas Markets that start in Europe at the same time!
According to the terms/conditions (which were not provided in detail), it looks like the fare sale covers travel between November 22 through December 5. However, you may find variances based on specific city pairs.
Also pay attention to the operating carrier. Some of my search results gave me the option of flying United or Edelweiss. Make sure that if you are going to spend $2500 on the ticket, that you make certain that SWISS is operating your flight! I say this because SWISS has one of the best Business Class products between the USA and Europe and it would be a shame for you to spend the money and not experience their hospitality!
