Lufthansa to codeshare with JetBlue for through service to 12 destinations
Lufthansa is to offer customers extended travel options in the USA and Puerto Rico under a codeshare agreement with JetBlue Airways.
Flights with the US carrier to Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, Pittsburgh, Raleigh-Durham, Austin, New Orleans, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, West Palm Beach and San Juan are planned to carry the LH code. Passengers heading to those destinations can fly initially with Lufthansa from Frankfurt and Munich to New York JFK or Boston and transit seamlessly there to connecting flights bearing the Lufthansa code with JetBlue.
The codeshare agreement today has been submitted for approval to the US Department of Transportation (DOT). Pending the go-ahead from the DOT, the codeshare flights will be available for sale at the end of September. They can then be booked at travel agencies, online at www.lufthansa.com and via a link at www.jetblue.com or at the Lufthansa call centre.
Lufthansa and JetBlue Airways concluded a series of share transactions in January last year, in which Lufthansa acquired a stake of 15.6% in JetBlue.
