Lufthansa announces 2013 summer schedule with new holiday destinations

“This summer we are again offering new flights to fantastic holiday destinations around the Mediterranean and expanding our expertise in the holiday travel segment,” says Jens Bischof, Member of the Lufthansa German Airlines Board.

New attractive holiday destinations

Whether they are taking a beach vacation, a discovery tour or a city break - passengers can enjoy the full service of a scheduled airline when they fly with Lufthansa to their holiday destination. Five attractive seasonal destinations, which will be served during the summer months, have been added to the timetable:

A new service is planned to the Balearic island of Menorca, the smaller sister island of Mallorca. Non-stop flights from Munich, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Berlin will land in Mahón, the capital of Menorca.

The Andalusian city of Jerez de la Frontera in the Spanish holiday region of Costa de la Luz will be served this summer from Düsseldorf and Frankfurt.

The Bulgarian resort of Varna on the Black Sea is another new, sun-blessed destination that will be served from Düsseldorf.

Flights to two new British destinations will also depart from Düsseldorf: Cardiff, the capital of Wales, is an ideal starting point for holidays on the coast or in the Welsh mountains. Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, is renowned for its vibrant arts scene as well as for its architecture and design. The spectacular scenery in the Scottish Highlands makes Glasgow a popular destination for discovery tours. This route will be served all year round.

This summer, vacationers will benefit from a further six new connections to holiday regions around the Mediterranean. These, combined with existing summer destinations, will at times bring to 25 the number of seasonal destinations in Lufthansa’s route network, most of which will be served from several airports in Germany. In July and August, the number of flights to holiday destinations will be further increased.
