Lufthansa

Germany's flag carrier, Lufthansa operates hubs in Frankfurt and Munich and is a founding member of Star Alliance. The wider Lufthansa Group includes Swiss, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines, which helps travellers connect across Europe on a single ticket. Its Miles & More programme is shared across the group and with partner airlines. Lufthansa is rolling out its Allegris cabins on long-haul aircraft, though older interiors remain on many routes, so the seat a traveller gets depends on the aircraft. Fares on European routes come in options such as Economy Light, Classic and Flex, with differing baggage and change rules. Lufthansa suits passengers flying between Europe and the rest of the world who value Star Alliance connections. Check cabin type, fare option and connection times at the hubs before booking.
