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.
Here is the current list of flights that will have the special Oktoberfest enhancements.:
September 15: LH722 Munich – Beijing
September 20: Munich – Lyon
September 20: Munich – Copenhagen
September 21: Munich – Zagreb
September 21: Munich – Bremen
September 24: LH504 Munich – Sao Paulo (GRU)
October 4: LH520 Munich – Mexico City
October 5: Munich – Zadar
October 5: Munich – Geneva
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!

Lufthansa is running a First Class Fare sale for travel to Europe during the Thanksgiving Holiday period in the USA. Fares are attractive, starting as low as $5069 (Boston-Brussels).
The fare sale extends to a wide variety of European destinations too many to mention. Aside from the great Boston-Brussels fare, other fares run in the mid to high $5000 range from the East Coast while fares from the West Coast are ranging in the $6000-$6200 range.
A great reason to visit Europe during this time of year is to experience the Christmas Markets that get underway in late November and run through the Christmas Holiday season. I’ve been to several of them over the past few years and can recommend them highly. There’s nothing like sipping on a warm mug of Spiced Wine while browsing a market!
As far as the terms and conditions are concerned, the fare sale runs until September 29th. Outbound travel must take place between November 22 and 28th, while return flights need to take place between November 27 and December 3. Tickets must be purchased 60 days prior to departure.
AND PLEASE……
Pay attention to who is operating your flight. As is normal for ex-USA travel, your flights may be operated by Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian, Brussels, United or Air Canada. Please be mindful that only Lufthansa and SWISS offer First Class flights within the Lufthansa Group. Austrian, Brussels & Air Canada, while excellent, fly 2-cabin aircraft – Business & Economy. And of course there is NO COMPARISON between LH and United when it comes to the First Class experience to Europe.
By flying with LH or SWISS in First Class you’ll have access to the wonderful First Class Lounges in Munich, Frankfurt and Zurich as well as the First Class Terminal in Frankfurt. You’ll also find the limited edition Christmas Ducks being offered in the lounges during this time of year in Munich and Frankfurt.

Beginning in early August, passengers traveling in First Class with Lufthansa world-wide will be welcomed aboard with a new amenity kit.
The new kit comes from Braun Büffel, a German company focused on functional luxury with over 125 years of experience hand-crafting fine leather goods. The contents of the kit will be similar, if not identical, to what was found in recent kits from Escada and Bogner. Two versions of the hand-made kit will be available, one for men and one for ladies and will be available through November.
The new kit debuts in early August
