Lufthansa now offers passengers on Singapore and U.S. routes the opportunity to extend their stopover at the Munich hub for up to seven days. As an additional step, hotels and other tourist offerings in the Bavarian capital can be included in the booking.
Munich Stopover with Lufthansa
Stopover programs help passengers experience two destinations during one holiday, and Lufthansa has made it easier than ever to add a Munich break at the start or end of an upcoming trip.
The new Lufthansa Stopover Program is available to passengers who begin their trip in Boston (BOS), Charlotte (CLT), Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), New York (JFK), San Diego (SAN), San Francisco (SFO), Seattle (SEA), and Washington, D.C. (IAD).
The offering is integrated directly into the booking process on Lufthansa.com and is available for all travel classes.
During booking, customers can add the Munich stopover option for either the outbound or return journey and flexibly set the stay duration between 24 hours and seven days. Depending on the selected route combination, a surcharge may apply. If desired, suitable hotel accommodation, rental cars, and leisure activities in Munich can be added through integrated partners 24 hours after the flight booking.
Giving Travellers more Flexibility
Heiko Reitz, Member of the Lufthansa Airlines Board and Hub Manager for Munich said:
“With our new stopover program, we are turning a layover in Munich into real added value for our guests. We are excited to give travellers the opportunity to flexibly incorporate one of Europe’s most attractive cities and regions into their journey, enhancing their flight with a truly personal travel experience.”
Munich marks the launch of the new program. The stopover in the German city is initially available for flights from Singapore and the U.S.
The program will be gradually expanded to additional regions and destinations over the course of the next year. In the future, additional stopover offers are also planned for other hubs within the Lufthansa Group.
If travellers have flexible holiday plans with Lufthansa, they can include a few days in Munich. Customers can book directly with Lufthansa from one of the specified U.S. gateways to take advantage of the stopover option.
