Since Lufthansa launched BLUE LEGENDS, I’ve had many USA based Blue Legend users email me voicing their disappointment that they could not participate actively when flying on non-Lufthansa operated flights in the USA. In order to “Check In” for a flight on Blue Legends, a Lufthansa flight number is required. This included codeshare flight numbers for flights operated by United and US Airways.
To that end, I’ve been able to assemble a complete list of codeshare flight numbers that Lufthansa uses for flights operated by United and US Airways. I’ve made these lists available as dedicated pages on my website.
For United Operated Flights: “BLUE LEGENDS: Lufthansa Codeshare Flight Numbers For United Flights”
For US Airways Operated Flights: “BLUE LEGENDS: Lufthansa Codeshare Flight Numbers For US Airway Flights”
If you are unfamiliar with Blue Legends, I encourage you to visit the app’s website or read my post on Blue Legends.
There are a few things to keep in mind with these lists:
Lufthansa does not have a codeshare flight number for every United or US Airways operated flight.
Lufthansa updates their codeshare flight numbers monthly and I’ll update my list to reflect the changes (I’ll let you know when I’ve updated the pages).
The list only contains the LH codeshare flight number, origin and destination and does not contain departure or arrival time information. You’ll need to cross reference your own itinerary and match it up to the appropriate LH code share flight number.
If you have any questions or need help with Blue Legends, feel free to e-mail me or leave a comment on this post.

Austrian is running a 48-hour fare sale for fall and winter travel from Austria to a variety of North American destinations. In addition to OS’ North American gateways such as New York, Washington DC, Chicago, etc. the fare sale covers destinations such as Las Vegas, Seattle, Ottawa and other cities throughout the US and Canada.
Fares start as low as €450 for travel between Vienna and Atlanta and go as high as the mid €700 range for destinations such as San Francisco or Las Vegas.
The fare sale has a blackout period between December 19 and 22 and again between January 2 and January 6. This is typical because of the peak Christmas travel period that takes place right before and shortly after the holiday. Outside of these blackout windows, the fare are valid for travel beginning October 1 through March 31, 2014.
The fare sale requires at least a Saturday night stay. The maximum stay for this fare sale is 3 months.
