Lufthansa Increases Leisure Destination Options for Summer 2021

Lufthansa is expanding its already large offering of flight options to 15 new leisure destinations. During the summer season, new options are being offered throughout Europe, Asia and Africa and are currently available for booking. These destinations include many cities in Greece (Corfu, Chania/Crete, Mykonos, Kos, Kavala/Thrace and Preveza/Peloponnese), as well as Spain (Jerez de la Frontera, Canary Islands and Tenerife will be continued from winter), Egypt (Hurghada), Cyprus (Paphos), Croatia (Rijeka), Italy (Lamezia Terme), Tunisia (Djerba) and Bulgaria (Varna). 

The departure and arrival times of the new destinations out of Frankfurt are well aligned with Lufthansa international flights from North America, whereby connecting passengers will be able to transfer with ease. The departures are scheduled for the early morning hours and return flights to Frankfurt depart in the evening. 

“Vacation and leisure travel are expected to play an increasingly important role. Lufthansa is listening to its customers and reacting with many new European and  Mediterranean summer destinations in 2021,” said Frank Naeve, vice president sales, the Americas, Lufthansa Group. 

Since the beginning of July 2019, Lufthansa has been offering additional tourist destinations to its flight plan. With this strategy, Lufthansa’s goal is to actively shape the future of tourism and leisure travel. Therefore, for the summer season, the airline will offer approximately 70 weekly connections to 29 leisure destinations — 15 more destinations compared to the same time period last year.
