LUFTHANSA Premium Economy Fare Sale To Europe….

LUFTHANSA Premium Economy Fare Sale To Europe….

For next several days, Lufthansa is running a relatively attractive Premium Economy fare sale from the USA to most of their European destinations.

This sale also includes flights operated by LH’s Low Cost Carrier flights operated by their ‘Cityline’ unit.    For example Tampa Bay, Florida to St. Petersburg, Russia can be had for only $950 in Premium Economy.

Other attractive fares for this sale include Chicago – Krakow for $1350 and Houston – Milan for $1400.   Otherwise most fares from the East Coast starting in $1400-$1500 range and West Coast departures range between $1700 and $1900.

 

The fare sale details:

Sale ends on December 15, 2015

Departures can take place between December 24, 2015 and March 17, 2016.

Return flights can take place between December 27, 2015 and June 17, 2016.

Tickets must be purchased 14 days prior to departure.

 

For those of you who have not flown LH’s Premium Economy, I can recommend it from personal experience.   This year I flew a handful of Premium Economy segments including runs between the US and Frankfurt as well as between Frankfurt and Johannesburg.   Though not a Business or First Class seat, they are quite acceptable, even for a 10 hour run between FRA and JNB!

LUFTHANSA Passenger, Citing ‘Allah’, Attempted To Open Door During Flight

LUFTHANSA Passenger, Citing ‘Allah’, Attempted To Open Door During Flight

In reports coming from the AP, Reuters, and Yahoo,   a Jordanian passenger traveling on an American passport aboard a Lufthansa flight between Frankfurt and Belgrade had become unruly and attempted to open one of the aircraft’s exterior doors.

According to the reports, the passenger was witnessed as crying out that he wished to take the passengers along with himself to join ‘Allah’.

After the passenger was subdued by the crew, he was restrained by members of a Serbian handball team that was aboard the flight.

The passenger was taken into custody by Serb officials after the plane arrived safely in Belgrade.

According to LH, passengers were not at risk due to the fact that the aircraft’s doors can not be open while an aircraft is in flight.
