Lufthansa Group is reportedly about to unveil some changes to its fares, which customers will no doubt be unhappy about (though you know the airline will spin it as if it’s a positive).
While the airlines have long offered these in economy, this spreading to business class and premium economy is new (these aren’t coming to first class… for now). So, what can we expect? According to reports, here’s what will change:
What’s perhaps most punitive about these new fares is how some elite perks won’t apply on these fares. While Star Alliance Gold members will still get an allowance of an extra bag (for a total of two bags), no elite members will receive complimentary seat assignments on basic fares. That’s right, even top-tier Miles & More HON Circle members will be asked to open their wallets if they want to assign seats.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
