Starting tomorrow, passengers traveling on Lufthansa (or other eligible carriers / status holders) can enjoy a new lounge opening in Milan’s Malpensa Airport.
The lounge continues the introduction of a new look in Lufthansa lounges that focuses on privacy, comfort, and casualness. With the lounge in Milan, the focus will be on Italian flavors and inspirations such as locally sourced foods as well as beverages that are Italian favorites.
For those of you familiar with the SWISS Lounges in Terminal E in Zurich, the look of the new LH lounge may remind you of the Swiss Lounges when it comes to having food prepared in front of you as well as having a large selection of beverages available to you. There is even a dedicated Barista that will be available for custom coffee specialities.
The lounge, located in Terminal 1A, will afford fantastic view of the airport thanks to glass walls that reach from floor to ceiling. The lounge will have seating for 117 guests and will cover nearly 6,000 square feet (550 sq. meters).

Lufthansa announced that it has begun what it refers to as expedited security screening for certain flights that depart from Munich at certain times of the day.
Specifically, the new program called ‘Smart Depart’ creates an expedited security process for flights departing Munich for Berlin, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, and Frankfurt during peak travel times. The nature of this program allows the gates for these flights to be located closer to the security check points in Munich’s Terminal 2 and dedicated check points will only process passengers flying to the cities listed above.
The program will be available on weekdays only, between 6a and 8:30a, and between 4p and 6:30p.
To locate these special checkpoints, look for the ‘Smart Depart Fast Lane’ signage when approaching security.

Lufthansa Group has launched an incredibly attractive BUSINESS CLASS Fare Sale to the USA from Germany with fares starting as low as €1339 ROUNDTRIP! The fares are not expected to stay at these levels for more than a few days (if that!) so you might want to take advantage of them sooner than later.
The fare sale covers flights operated by LUFTHANSA, SWISS, AUSTRIAN, BRUSSELS, United, and Air Canada.
The travel windows seem to be fairly wide open with many travel dates available for travel between April and January 2019. But like I said, this fare sale may only last hours or days. Once the allotted fare classes are booked, the pricing will go back to normal. The fares would required midweek departures and arrivals but that’s an insignificant hurdle to cross for this kind of deal!
Example fares include:
Munich to Los Angeles for €1339
Frankfurt to New York for €1339
Munich to Houston for €1339
Dusseldorf to Boston for €1339
and many other combos between German and US cities.
