WHEREVER A magical mystery tour feature offered by Lufthansa

Posted on 06/01/2016 | About Germany

Travellers who are adventurous, indecisive or spontaneous, are participating in a new booking feature offered by Lufthansa, where the trip is planned by the airline without the passenger knowing what city or even country they are flying to. It is called “Lufthansauberraschungssommerreise” or Lufthansa Surprise.

Customers are offered nine themes to choose from, with prices starting at €89 ($130). The themes include, Nature, Romance, Sightseeing & Culture, Gourmet Cuisine, Partying, Shopping, Sun & Sand, Bromance and Cities. Each theme lists a number of possible destinations that leave from Munich or Frankfurt. Once the theme is chosen, the passenger is given a list of possible cities that offer that theme and are asked to type in their preferred travel dates with a warning that passenger must have valid documents and visas to their destinations.

Once the payment information is validated, the customer learns where they are spending their vacation and the mystery is solved. The airline says that both the destination and the low cost are a surprise. Flights are strictly within Europe, where air travel is typically inexpensive.
