Lufthansa and TAM to offer joint flights to Sao Paulo

Customers will then have a choice of 21 codeshare flights per week between Germany and Brazil. In addition, both carriers will offer connecting flights to their respective domestic destinations on a codeshare basis. Lufthansa passengers booked on flights to São Paulo will thus be able to travel seamlessly to a further four destinations in Brazil. Special transfer counters have been installed at São Paulo airport by TAM to make changing easier. Since Feb-08, members of both airline’s frequent flyer programmes – “Miles & More” and “Fidelidade” – have also been able to redeem miles with the partner airline and book award flights with either carrier.

Götz Ahmelmann, Vice President Alliances, Strategy and Subsidiaries, Lufthansa Passenger Airlines said, “Lufthansa is increasing its services to and from Brazil in cooperation with TAM.” “The codeshare agreement with our partner TAM will provide our passengers with seamless connections to further domestic destinations via Frankfurt and São Paulo. Our passengers will be able to reach these airports conveniently with only one check-in at the start of their journey.”


Paulo Castello Branco, Vice President Planning und Alliances TAM said,  “Linking Lufthansa and TAM’s schedules will increase the benefits for our customers. Moreover, we are stimulating growth in air traffic between Germany and Brazil.”
