Lufthansa Launches Non-Stop Orlando-Frankfurt Service
Communiqué publié le 28/06/2007 à 21h35

Lufthansa today announced it will begin non-stop air service between Orlando and Frankfurt, Germany, starting October 30, 2007. Operating with a new Airbus A330-300 aircraft configured with 221 seats, the flight will offer central Florida travelers Lufthansa's highly acclaimed First Class, the longest bed in Business Class and comfortable Economy Class services on a nearly 10-hour connection to the heart of continental Europe. The new flight complements Lufthansa's existing daily service between Miami and Frankfurt, and will offer travelers the flexibility of either an early afternoon departure from Miami or an evening departure from Orlando.

"We're thrilled to soon welcome 'The City Beautiful' as our 20th North American gateway," said Jens Bischof, Vice President, The Americas for Lufthansa. "Orlando's business growth - especially among the high-tech, aerospace, and healthcare sectors, makes it an ideal choice for international air service. Premium travelers, in particular, can take advantage of Orlando's only First Class cabin to Europe - with amenities continuing on the ground in Frankfurt at our exclusive First Class Terminal and lounges," Bischof added.

"From Orlando, Lufthansa travelers will be a short stop to just about anywhere in the world, with convenient connections to some 91 destinations around Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa," said Benedikt Schneider, Regional Sales Manager, Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern U.S., for Lufthansa. "This is great news for both the growing business and leisure travel communities in central Florida," Schneider added.

Flight LH 465 will depart Orlando at 8:25 pm and arrive in Frankfurt at 11:20 am local time the next day. The return flight LH 464 will leave Frankfurt at 2:05 pm and arrive in Orlando at 6:30 pm local time the same day. The flight will operate five times per week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Tickets can be purchased beginning July 3, 2007 at lufthansa.com, your local travel agent or by calling Lufthansa reservations at 800-645-3880.

Orlando's First Class passengers will have access to Lufthansa's First Class Terminal and related lounges in Frankfurt and Munich. Reserved for the exclusive use of Lufthansa First Class passengers and HON Circle frequent flyers (600,000 miles/two years), the 19,000 square foot Terminal features personal assistants, a gourmet restaurant and bar offering more than 70 types of whiskey, a cigar lounge, offices, luxurious bathrooms and chauffeured transfer directly to the aircraft in a Mercedes S-class or Porsche Cayenne.

One of the world's largest airlines, Lufthansa flies to some 192 destinations in 78 countries, including 19 North American gateways. Together with its partners, Lufthansa serves 416 destinations in more than 98 countries worldwide. An industry leader known for its focus on innovation, Lufthansa in March 2005 launched Lufthansa Private Jet, which provides travelers arriving in the airline's Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich hubs with exclusive seamless travel by private plane to more than 1,000 airports in Europe, Israel and the Russian Federation. With 15 aircraft on order, Lufthansa will be the largest European operator of the Airbus A380. It is also the launch customer for the new Boeing 747-8, with first deliveries starting in 2010.
