Continuing its tradition of celebrating Oktoberfest each year, Lufthansa has announced plans to bring this great festival aboard several flights over the coming days and weeks.
Beginning today, September 15, Lufthansa will have certain flights operating from Munich ‘outfitted’ with special crews. These crews, known as ‘Trachten Teams’ will be dressed in traditional Bavarian attire and will bring a bit of Oktoberfest to each of these special flights. Something new for this year, passengers filing within Europe will also have an opportunity to experience LH’s Oktoberfest hospitality.
The following photo shows the variety of attire that you’ll find in Munich and on the special Tracthen flights. From left to right: Munich Customer Service Staff, Long Haul Flight Attendants (center 2), Lufthansa CityLine Flight attendants.

And lastly, if you are flying in First Class and transiting Munich, make sure you stop by the First Class Lounge to claim your special Oktoberfest Duck!

The 2014 World Travel Awards For Europe are taking place this weekend in Athens, Greece and Lufthansa and SWISS have been honored with a handful of awards!
First, Lufthansa took home the trophy for ‘Europe’s Leading Airline’ for the 4th consecutive year. Additionally, Lufthansa also took home the prize for ‘Europe’s Leading Airline Lounges’ for the First Class Lounges in Frankfurt Airport.
SWISS takes home the award for ‘Europe’s Leading Business Class’ for the 4th year in a row. It seems like SWISS’ formula is working wonderfully!
The World Travel Awards host a series of these Award Ceremonies around the World and break down their events on a regional basis. This year, these ‘Regional Qualifying Events’ will take place for the following areas: The Middle East, Africa & the Indian Ocean, South & Central America, North America & the Caribbean, Asia & Australasia, and Europe.
Winners from each of these ‘Qualifiers’ will move on to compete at a year-end event in Morocco that will eventually crown a ‘World Champion’ in a variety of travel related categories.
