Lufthansa has loaded an additional 1 million tickets in deep-discount fare classes for travel within Europe during late summer / early fall. The tickets will be available at these discounted rates until July 12, 2015.
Attractive rates include Munich – Rome for only €99, Frankfurt – Nice for €129, and many other European destinations from LH’s hubs in Germany.
The fares are available for departures between August 1 and October 31, 2015 and return travel must take place between August 2, 2015 and January 31, 2016.
A 1 night stay is required for destinations within Germany. A 3 day (weekday) stay is required for European destinations OR a Friday night OR a Saturday night stay. In other words, a weekend trip within Europe only requires one night.
The fares are non-refundable and are subject to a €65 rebooking fee.

Lufthansa has postponed the launch of new service between Frankfurt and Panama City by approximately 3 months.
Originally, Lufthansa was set to begin 5x/week service on November 16, 2015. It has now rescheduled the launch to March 2, 2016.
I suspect that the delay is due to low load/booking factors for the flights when reservations for the route opened back in February of this year.

Earlier today in Germany, the union representing Lufthansa’s pilots has announced that recent mediation efforts have failed. Talks have broken down to such an extent that the union has threatened to strike despite its earlier commitment to not strike at least until the end of July while giving mediation efforts a chance to work.
The union has stated that no strike has yet been scheduled because it will be up to their committees to determine the exact timing and target of the strikes. I suspect that the first strikes can come as early as this week based on their posturing.
In the past, the union has usually given at least 24 hours warning prior to any work stoppage. Should a strike impact your travels, you will be able to easily rebook your tickets through LH, or request a refund of your fare.
