Lufthansa Cargo has launched a new contest that will award the lucky winner 2 Business Class tickets to anywhere on the Lufthansa network. It appears that the contest is open to anyone, anywhere.
The catch?

Out of all the photos entries, 200-300 finalists will be selected for a book that Lufthansa Cargo will publish for use with their clients and employees. These finalists will all receive a copy of the book as well.

You can enter as many time as you wish, which only increases your odds of winning.
The contest runs until November 15. Terms and Conditions can be found here.

AUSTRIAN has announced that it has begun work to update and upgrade their current Business Class cabin on their Airbus A319, A320, and A321 aircraft. In all, 29 aircraft will feature the new look.
Over the course of the next 2 years, the Business Class cabins for these aircraft will be upgraded with improved seat cushions as well as increased legroom. Currently, the Business Class cabin seat pitch is 30 inches, just at it is for Economy but this will increase to 32 inches. This marks the first time that a narrow body business class cabin will actually have a different seat pitch than the rest of the aircraft’s seats.
Traditionally, short and medium haul Business Class cabins for Austrian (as well as for the Lufthansa Group & most major European airlines) meant that you had the same type of seat as an economy passenger, but the middle seat would be left open giving passengers a bit more room. A curtain hanging from the luggage bins would act as the divider between Business and Economy class seats. For Austrian, this now goes away and in essence they are creating a dedicated Business Class cabin for their narrow body aircraft. However, the middle seat will continue to be left open.
All this new space was found by decreasing the size of storage and galley areas on the aircraft.
At the same time, Austrian also has announced that it will reduce the seat pitch on their A319 and A320 aircraft from 30 inches to 29 inches. According to OS, this brings them in line with European standards but at the same time will also allow Austrian to install an additional row in Economy Class.

Travel must originate in Zurich, however for only $4000 you can fly LX’s outstanding First Class product from Zurich to Montreal for $4000, $3700 to Muscat or Dubai or to Sao Paulo for $6300!
Business Class fares begin at $2000 for travel between Zurich and Beijing or Bangkok and go up towards $3000 for travel to Johannesburg.
As I mentioned, the fare sale seems to cover the entire SWISS network and great prices exist for each destination. With a little bit of planning, its not to difficult to position yourself in Zurich to take advantage of the deals.

Its been quite a week for fare sales. This particular one comes on the heels of LUFTHANSA’s $2000 Business Class deal between the USA and London. All of a sudden we’re given a ton of options to enjoy some of the best seats in the air!
