Lufthansa expands luggage-free Economy Light Fare to Africa, Asia, Middle East, South America | Buzz travel

Lufthansa Group announced that the “Economy Light Fare” is successively available for further intercontinental routes operated by Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa and SWISS from 30 October 2019 (in Germany, Austria and Switzerland from 6 November).

The fare has been available for North America since summer 2018 and is the cheapest choice for price-conscious passengers who want to travel with hand luggage only and do not require ticket flexibility.

If required, passengers can individually book a piece of luggage for a fee. Meals and beverages on board remain free of charge for passengers.

The new tariff can be booked exclusively via airlines’ websites as well as with Lufthansa Group’s sales partners.
