In a press release earlier this week the Lufthansa Group announced theæexpansion of its collaboration with Singapore Airlines.
The new commercial joint venture which was concluded between the Lufthansa Group and Singapore Airlines in November 2015 is bearing its first fruit. Collaboration partners Lufthansa Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Swiss International Air Lines (Swiss) are expanding their codeshare agreements. As a result customers of all three airlines are now offered even more destinations and even more connections.
In addition to the Lufthansa Group’s Frankfurt hub SIA’s expanded codeshare connections now offer customers more than 20 convenient codeshare routings via the Group’s Munich and Zurich hubs to and from various points in Austria Belgium Germany and Switzerland.
Lufthansa and Swiss meanwhile are adding the following new codeshare connections in Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific to their timetables:
Lufthansa from Frankfurt via Singapore now also to:
Indonesia:
Denpasar
Jakarta
Swiss from Zurich via Singapore now also to:
Australia:
Adelaide
Brisbane
Melbourne
Perth
Sydney
Indonesia:
Jakarta
Malaysia:
Kuala Lumpur
New Zealand:
Auckland
Christchurch
Travelers to these destinations can now fly Lufthansa from Frankfurt or Swiss from Zurich to Singapore and then change seamlessly onto their connecting Singapore Airlines flight with a Lufthansa/Swiss flight number. Any registered baggage checked-in in Germany or Switzerland will be checked right through to their final destination. And as before travelers can earn and redeem miles with the partner airline concerned under Miles & More and other Star Alliance frequent flyer programmes.
