(TAN): The Lufthansa Group airlines are offering the most extensive range of vacation destinations in years this summer, the airline group said in a statement.
Over the course of the summer, Lufthansa plans to add around 20 new vacation destinations to its flight programme from Frankfurt and 13 new holiday destinations from Munich with special focus on the Caribbean, the Canary Islands and Greece.
Effective vaccines, comprehensive testing services and strict hygiene concepts of airports and airlines are good prerequisites for the resumption, this summer, of long-awaited vacations. The airlines of the Lufthansa Group are already preparing for the resumption of travel and have an attractive, as well varied, flight programme ready.

“Our leisure travel programme for summer 2021 is stronger than ever. We expect many countries to relax travel restrictions towards the summer as more and more people have been vaccinated. We know that demand will increase sharply as soon as travel restrictions are removed – and we are well equipped to meet this with our excellent range of products and offers. There is a great yearning for travel and we believe that the summer months will reflect this,” said Harry Hohmeister, member of the executive board of Deutsche Lufthansa.
Classic city and vacation destinations will continue to be offered, while the focus in Europe will be on the service to the Canary Islands and Greece. From Frankfurt and Munich, it will be even easier to reach Greek and Spanish holiday islands.
Other attractive destinations in the flight programme from Frankfurt are Cyprus (Paphos), Croatia (Rijeka), Italy (Lamezia Terme), Tunisia (Djerba), Ponta Delgada (Azores/Portugal) and Bulgaria (Varna). From Munich, new flights go to Jerez (Spain) and to the Greek destinations of Chania, Mykonos, Kos, Kavalla, Zakynthos and Preveza. Another new summer destination is Hurghada in Egypt.
