19-Aug-2009 Lufthansa Celebrates Oktoberfest with Discounted Fares, Bavarian Treats and Traditional Garb

Lufthansa Crew Swaps Uniforms for Oktoberfest Dirndls on Boston & Los Angeles - Munich Routes.

Crew on Los Angeles and Boston routes will trade uniforms for Bavarian attire

During the Oktoberfest festival in Munich from September 19 to October 4, Lufthansa will treat its customers to special fares, Bavarian menus, small giveaways and more. Every traveler willing to experience flying "a-la-bavaroise" will enjoy the great variety of Lufthansa's seasonal special.

The reduced fares to Munich include:
- New York $241*
- Dallas $300*
- Chicago $307*
- Los Angeles $338*

The sale ends August 26, 2009 and is valid for U.S. departures through October 4, 2009. Visit lh.com for reservations, terms and conditions.

The celebration also extends to Lufthansa's on-board service. The on-board decor in First Class will be coordinated with the Bavarian colors blue and white and an additional audio channel will play Bavarian tunes. First Class passengers on all long-haul flights from Munich will experience Bavarian specialties, such as duck with red cabbage and potato dumplings or mushroom ragout. Dessert includes Bavarian cream with fruit skewers or hot plum strudel with soft cheese. First Class passengers will also be given a souvenir beer mug.

In Business Class, passengers will receive an attractive Bavarian scarf, while Economy Class guests will be offered a spicy Lebkuchen heart to complete the Bavarian menu. On domestic German and European routes, passengers will be given Bavarian sweets and a special Oktoberfest praline.

On select flights, Lufthansa crew will wear typical Bavarian outfits especially designed for the season. An annual tradition, the special crew will debut on flights from Munich to Los Angeles on September 16th, from Los Angeles to Munich on September 19th, and from Munich to Boston on September 26th, returning to Munich on September 28th.

Travelers passing through Lufthansa's Munich hub also have a chance to see airport staff members wearing their own Bavarian garb throughout the festival. This tradition dates back 50 years, when Lufthansa staff members first swapped their uniforms for traditional Bavarian attire. The 2009 crew received customized garb sponsored by fashion label Loden-Frey, crafted in Lufthansa's blue and yellow colors.
