Lufthansa Will Give You a Surprise Trip to Anywhere Around Europe
Photo: Moyan Brenn/FlickrThe German word for it would be “Lufthansaüberraschungssommerreise.” The English
translation pretty much means “a spontaneous vacation planned by Lufthansa”— Germans have a word for everything. Lufthansa, on the other hand, calls its latest travel option a “surprise.”
“Lufthansa Surprise; gives impetuous travelers— and those travel-happy couples with a partner constantly nagging for a “surprise” because the annual camping trip is no longer good enough—the option to book a cheap flight to a semi-mysterious destination. We say “cheap” because flights are all under 99€ ($112), and we say “semi-mysterious” because travelers aren’t booking blindly.
Each “surprise” falls under any of the nine themed categories like romance, bromance and
gourmet cuisine. Within each category exist 7-12 cities. Choose the type of trip you want, and
Lufthansa reserves the rest. Here’s what the trips look like:
Nature: Gdansk, Stockholm, Geneva, Helsinki, Zurich, Rostock-Laage, Larnaca, Copenhagen, Oslo, Gothenburg.
Sun & Sand: Izmir, Bilbao, Triest, Naples, Gdansk, Genoa, Ancona, Stockholm, Nice, Marseille.
Bromance: Amsterdam, Manchester, Hamburg, Dublin, Warsaw, Belgrade, Prague, Poznan,
Lviv, Krakow, Sarajevo.
