Lufthansa and the Star Alliance Partners
Lufthansa is Germany's national airline and one of the world's ten largest airlines and
one of the youngest airlines. In 2003 Lufthansa served 327 destinations in 89 countries on
the 5 continents.
Lufthansa has created a unique flying relationship named "the Star Alliance." Under this
Alliance a number of air carriers have been brought together for the first time in the history
of air transport. Their aim is to make traveling easier through offering additional routes,
problem-free booking and the very highest levels of service. Travelers are given other
benefits under the Miles & More (frequent flyer) program. The Star Alliance Airpass offers low
Economy Class fares for air travel to fly to any destination served by Star Alliance carriers,
even round-the-world.
