- Appropriate Remark,
-
- Yesterday and today (29/12) Lufthansa (German Airlines) placed a full-page
- ad in Holland's largest newspaper advertising a special deal on airfares.
- It seems that as of January 1st price restrictions on airfares in the EEC
- shall be released and to "celebrate" this, Lufthansa offers Economy class
- return airfares for 299 NLG (approx $165) from Amsterdam to anywhere in
- the EEC. For destinations in Germany the price is 199 NLG ($110). Let me
- assure you that these are CHEAP! KLM immediately announced it would respond
- somehow, probably by beefing up its very slack frequent flyer program.
-
- The conditions: Tickets must be for travel from January 1st to March 31st
- 1993, and tickets must be reserved and paid for before January 15th. I
- would assume that Lufthansa is offering the same sort of deal to the other
- EEC members, and assuming they'll be looking for an attention-grabbing
- price it may be significantly cheaper elsewhere. How about some feedback?
- Further conditions (not listed in the ad): trip must include a Saturday
- night (standard condition to weed out the business travellers), ticket
- has to be paid within 24 hrs of reservation and no changing of dates
- allowed.
-
- The destinations listed:
- Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Bari, Berlin, Bilbao, Birmingham, Bologna,
- Bonn, Bremen, Brussels, Cagliari, Catania, Dresden, Dublin, Dusseldorf,
- Faro, Florence, Frankfurt, Friedrichshafen, Genoa, Glasgow, Hamburg,
- Hannover, Heraklion, Koln, Kiel, Copenhagen, Las Palmas, Leipzig, Lisbon,
- London, Lyon, Madrid, Malaga, Manchester, Marseille, Milan, Munchen,
- Munster/Osnabruck, Napels, Neurenberg, Nice, Oporto, Palermo, Palma de
- Majorca, Paris, Pisa, Rome, Stuttgart, Tenerife (here I come), Thessaloniki,
- Toulouse, Trieste, Turin, Valencia, Venice, Verona.
-
- BTW, EEC = Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, France, England,
- Italy, Spain, Denmark, Portugal, Greece and Ireland.
