The offer applies to 36 European and worldwide destinations, including Barcelona, Istanbul, Madrid, Rome, Dubai, Cairo, New York, Tel Aviv and Washington.
The Lufthansa 'sunshine rate' is available until August 18 and is valid on flights departing betweenu00a0 September 1 to October 31 to 36 destinations.
