Better Late Than Never: The Lufthansa First Class Easter Ducks

In a grievous oversight by yours truly, I forgot to post the images of the rubber ducks that Lufthansa featured for Easter 2016.     Most of you have probably already seen these little critters, but just in case here they are:

For those of you keeping score at home, there is one that is missing in the photo above.

In addition the 3 above, there is another one that comes with a red ‘Eggshell’ cap.   Thanks to FlyerTalk’s/VFT’s ClaudiSTR for helping complete the gallery!

LUFTHANSA 48 Hour Mega-Sale: Ex-Germany to USA 50% OFF!!

Just received note that Lufthansa has launched a 48 hour Economy Fare Sale that knocks fares down up to 50% for travel from Germany to the USA.    The sale ends Thursday so make a decision quickly!

A lot of USA destinations from Frankfurt and Munich are pricing as low as €449.    Destinations at this price point include Charlotte, Boston, and Philadelphia.   Most other east coast destinations price around €479-499.  West Coast is slight higher.

Keep in mind that these fares are eligible for the myOffer upgrade program that allows you to bid to sit in Premium Economy when booking an Economy seat.

In addition, you can still apply to get the €20 voucher good towards bookings made for travel originating in Germany.  This makes a good fare sale that much better!
