Flying further with Lufthansa Group

Lufthansa Group connects the UK to more than 300 destinations worldwide through its airlines.
Through Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Air Dolomiti, Edelweiss and Discover Airlines, the Group provides many direct services into Europe from across the UK and seamless connections through 5 hubs. This includes access to destinations across Europe, North, Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
Flight Mode ON. Connection ON.
What if staying connected in the air felt as seamless as it does on the ground? Lufthansa Group Wi-Fi – powered by Starlink, turns this vision into reality. For business travellers, this means real-time communication, seamless cloud access, and workflows that don’t stall at cruising altitude.
Following the successful launch of the first equipped flight at Lufthansa, the first Airbus A320neo aircraft operated by Austrian Airlines and SWISS are now equipped with Starlink’s advanced satellite technology. Lufthansa Group will continue rolling out the technology across its fleet, with all aircraft scheduled to be equipped by 2029.

Premium is in the Detail
A New Lufthansa Long-Haul Experience in All Classes
In its anniversary year, Lufthansa has completely reimagined the onboard experience to make long-haul travel even more comfortable. The most comprehensive transformation of the on-board service in recent years is now live across all four travel classes on all long-haul flights. It marks a new chapter in what flying Lufthansa means. Every detail is designed to enhance comfort, personalisation, and a smooth journey from start to finish. Created over multiple years with the feedback of guests and crews and refined across more than 110 test flights and extensive real-world feedback, the new service delivers a clear and consistent promise: an on-board experience that is unmistakably Lufthansa at every seat, in every cabin.
