FLIGHTS WITH LUFTHANSA GROUP
Getting to Germany has never been easier with Lufthansa Group. Frequencies are plentiful from several Canadian gateways, on modern aircraft including B787s from Toronto and Vancouver, A330s from Calgary and A350s from Montreal.
As the Lufthansa Group notes, the A350 is exceptionally modern: fuel consumption has been reduced to just about 2.5 litres of kerosene per passenger per 100 kms flown. That’s about 30% less than its predecessor models, and that has an immediate positive impact on the CO2 balance.
Here’s a look at Lufthansa Group’s schedule from Canada for winter 2023/24…
. Calgary – Frankfurt, up to six times a week with Discover Airlines (A330-3)
. Toronto – Frankfurt, seven times a week year-round with Lufthansa (B787-9)
