Site Report:
Lufthansa is the flag carrier for Germany. Lufthansa was formed in
1919 from a merger of "Deutsche Aero Lloyd" (DAL) and "Junkers
Luftverkehr". The airline started scheduled flights with a fleet of
162 aircraft. The company then started scheduled airmail service
across the South Atlantic. Between 1936 and 1938, it also
experiments with scheduled air services across the North Atlantic.
After going through some trying times, Lufthansa enters the jet age,
initially on long-haul routes, flying Boeing aircraft.
Lufthansa is a forward thinking carrier. They were a charter member
of the Star Alliance with Air Canada, SAS, Thai Airways and United
Airlines -- the world's first multilateral airline grouping, later
to be joined by other carriers. The Star Alliance is the first
carrier super group, code sharers that link networks in order to
preserve customer share and loyalty. A recent change by Lufthansa is
the updated business class option offered by the airline. Lufthansa
has completely revamped its Business Class, and in future passengers
will be able to use "FlyNet", which provides broadband Internet
access.
Upon entering the Lufthansa site, the first thing you'll notice is
that it offers English and German versions. If you select one of
these, then the second thing you'll probably notice is that it loads
up slowly. If you are patient or have a fast modem, then you'll also
see that this site is beautifully designed, informative, and
interactive.
The Lufthansa site has lots of great features. First, there are
tailor-made versions for 16 different countries in Europe, America,
and Asia!
Each one is beautifully designed--not a dog in the bunch. (A
TravelSites.com hint: instead of selecting the English version, go
directly to the USA version. It's lower in graphics and loads up
much faster!) You can find out all about Luthansa, plan your
travels, book online, and get frequent flier information.
You may never have to pick up your phone again to plan your travels
with Lufthansa! This site allows you to make informed decisions for
your travels with Lufthansa. For example, if you need to do some
travel planning, you can also take advantage of the flight
schedules, info on the Lufthansa network, seatmaps, airport
info...etc. before booking online.
Lufthansa has done a great job making this large web site highly
navigable with their attractive and easy to use navigation bars.
