Difference in seat prices economy.

I cannot figure out the price reasoning for a flight from Frankfurt to Austin. Is there any real difference between 18G and 22G? 18G is showing 84 euro and 22G is 45. It is a Boeing 787-9. Thank you!

Interesting Lufthansa solar eclipse email with a strange aircraft image lufthansa.com

I received Lufthansa’s promotional email about the upcoming solar eclipse and noticed something odd in the marketing image. Unless I’m missing something, it looks like the aircraft shown has Boeing-style winglets attached to what appears to be an Airbus aircraft. Either the...

Unusual Lufthansa pricing for an intra-EU flight

I understand that airline pricing can sometimes vary due to dynamic yield management, but I am struggling to make sense of what I am seeing for a flight within Europe scheduled about two weeks from now. The fare options appear inconsistent and do not follow a clear pattern in...

I’m considering placing an upgrade bid for a Lufthansa business class seat on a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Munich and I’m curious what amount would give me a realistic chance of success. Since overnight long-haul flights are usually popular for upgrades because people...
