Lufthansa offers 40% discount after Germany win

German carrier, Lufthansa, is offering Ghanaian travellers 40 percent discount on fares on its Business and Economy cabins to any destination served by the airline.

The offer, which lasts from Thursday July 17 to Friday July 18, is to commemorate the triumph of the German national football team at the just-ended World Cup 2014 held in Brazil from June 12 to July13, 2014.

The discount applies to fares only.

The Frankfurt-based airline operates flight to and from Accra five days a week, except Mondays and Tuesdays.

The airline’s flight departs Accra at 20:50 local time --first flight to leave Accra to Europe each evening—and arrives at Frankfurt at 05:20 local time the following morning with onward connectivity to hundreds of destinations.

The return flight departs Frankfurt at 14:35 local time, arrives Accra at 19:00 local time --first flight to arrive into Accra from Europe.

Lufthansa introduced a three-compartment wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft on the Accra- Frankfurt route in March. The new refurbished aircraft has eight seats in first class; 48 seats in business class and 165 seats in Economy cabin.
