Lufthansa Deals to Europe, India

If you still haven't booked a late summer or early fall holiday, don't despair. Lufthansa is offering some very good fares from the U.S. to various destinations in Europe and India (www.lufthansa.com/us/en/top-offers.)

Sample fares include Chicago to Budapest return for just $789. Dallas to Istanbul for $979. Chicago to Krakow for $849, Los Angeles to Budapest for $929. amd New York to Milan for just $659.  If you prefer to visit India, Boston to Bangalore starts at only $939. and Los Angeles to Mumbai at $909. These fares require 14 day advance booking, and the New York to Milan one must be reserved by August 7, so it may be too late for that one.

There are quite a few other reasonable fares available, but I concentrated on ones under $1,000 return. While India has not been on my top list of desirable destinations, prices like this make it sound pretty appealing.

Lufthansa is one of my favourite airlines for its efficiency, friendly service and good safety record. At a time when air travel is starting to seem a little hazardous, you can't beat experience.
