Lufthansa Group introduces new Economy Basic fare

As of 28 April, the Lufthansa Group is expanding its fare offer for short and medium-haul flights with a new solution designed for those looking for a lower price and travelling without luggage. The new Economy Basic fare will be gradually introduced on selected routes from 19 May and will be available with the group's airlines: Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Discover Airlines, Lufthansa City Airlines and Air Dolomiti.

In fact, the Economy Basic includes a personal item, such as a laptop bag or a small backpack. Those who need to carry more luggage can add hand luggage or checked baggage as an additional service, or choose a fare with a larger allowance. The solution is designed for those who fly often during the day or plan short trips, while maintaining the possibility of customizing the trip according to their needs.

At the same time, the Lufthansa Group is also updating the current Light fare, which in the future will offer the possibility of rebooking the flight for a fee, with flexibility for those who want more leeway in their travel planning. With this revision, the group's fare offer is structured into four distinct options in Economy Class and three in Business Class, making the choice between price, inclusive services and flexibility more transparent. The new fare, designed for light travellers, can be booked through digital sales channels, including airline websites and NDC (New Distribution Capability) channels.
