Lufthansa

Lufthansa has some of the most flexible and versatile global fares on the market, making it possible to turn a return trip to Europe into an incredible multi-continent journey. Their global fares offer an extensive range of cities that can be used as stopovers across North America, Asia and South Africa, allowing you to travel in one direction around the world rather than simply flying to Europe and back the same way.

With the right routing, you can combine destinations across several continents while taking advantage of Lufthansa’s extensive network and partner airlines. This creates opportunities to visit cities that would normally require multiple separate airfares, all built into one carefully constructed itinerary.

It’s possible to include up to five stopovers in total on selected Lufthansa airfares, with up to two stopovers in each continent. This gives us plenty of flexibility to build a genuine round-the-world journey around the destinations you actually want to visit.

• Qantas (Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo)
• Singapore Airlines (Singapore)
• Thai Airways (Bangkok)
• British Airways (Singapore)
• ANA (Tokyo)
• Asiana (Seoul)
• Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong)

Lufthansa fares are available year-round rather than being restricted to specific seasonal fare periods. Peak travel dates can still be more expensive due to availability, so flexibility with dates and routing can make a considerable difference.

Did you know Lufthansa, SWISS and Austrian Airlines fares are fully combinable? This gives us the flexibility to mix all three airlines within the same itinerary, use different European gateways in each direction and access their extensive network across Europe and beyond.

• South African Airways – Perth to Johannesburg, or vice versa
• Air New Zealand – Australia to Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston or New York, or vice versa
• Qantas – Australia to Los Angeles, Vancouver, San Francisco, Dallas or New York, or vice versa
• United Airlines – Australia to Los Angeles, San Francisco or Houston, or vice versa

Lufthansa global fares open up some fantastic opportunities to combine the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia within one itinerary. The final fare will vary depending on your routing, availability, stopovers and the combination of airlines used.

Lufthansa, SWISS and Austrian Airlines structure their fares around the number of stopovers included in each direction between Australia and Europe. Additional stopovers can increase the fare, so careful routing can make a significant difference to the final price.

A major advantage is the ability to combine Lufthansa Group airlines within the same journey. For example, you could fly to Europe with Lufthansa and stop in Munich or Frankfurt, then return with SWISS and include a stopover in Zurich. Austrian Airlines and Vienna can also be incorporated into selected itineraries.

This flexibility allows us to build excellent multi-city European journeys using different gateways in each direction. The key is finding the right combination of airlines, destinations and stopovers while keeping additional fare increases to a minimum.

Lufthansa offers Premium Economy across many of its long-haul flights, making it an excellent option for global itineraries combining destinations in North America, Europe and Asia. The newer Allegris Premium Economy cabin takes this a step further, with increased personal space, greater privacy and a modern hard-shell seat design.

Business and First Class can also be incorporated into Lufthansa global fares, along with premium cabins on selected partner airlines. Lufthansa’s new Allegris Business Class is progressively being introduced across the long-haul fleet, offering fully flat beds, direct aisle access and a choice of different seat types. As the rollout is still underway, the exact onboard product will depend on the aircraft operating your flights.

On this page, there is an enquiry form where you can tell us which destinations you would like to visit across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Submit your plans and an Airfare Geeks consultant will build suitable Lufthansa global fare options around your dates, destinations and preferred cabin.

More complex itineraries with additional stops can also be constructed using different fare combinations. If you have a bigger trip in mind, simply add the details to the Message box and we’ll work out the best way to piece it together.

• New Allegris Business Class progressively rolling out across Lufthansa’s long-haul fleet
• Five different Allegris Business Class seat options, including private suites
• Direct aisle access, increased privacy and fully flat beds
• Currently available on selected Airbus A350 flights from Munich
• Allegris is also now appearing on selected Boeing 787-9 flights from Frankfurt
• Aircraft and cabin configuration matter, so we recommend checking the exact flight before booking

Lufthansa’s Business Class product is currently very aircraft-specific as the Allegris fleet rollout continues. The new cabin is a substantial upgrade, but not every Lufthansa long-haul aircraft has it yet. We can check the scheduled aircraft and seat configuration when building your itinerary, particularly if experiencing Allegris is important to you.

Lufthansa’s global fares can combine Business or First Class with some exceptional round-the-world routing options, giving us plenty of flexibility to balance the onboard product, destinations, stopovers and overall fare.
