Lufthansa, the largest air carrier in Europe, is betting demand for European holidays will still be high next year with its latest expansion announcement.
In the summer of 2024, the Frankfurt-based carrier will enter two new American markets, add one new route, and increase the frequency of daily flights from four cities across the United States.
“Lufthansa Group’s mission is to connect people, cultures, and economies from around the world in the most sustainable manner possible,” said Dirk Janzen, vice president of passenger sales, the Americas, Lufthansa Group Airlines, in a statement. “We are doing just that, especially next year in 2024, with exciting expansion plans in the pipeline throughout North America. Expansion means more routes, more frequencies, and easier connections.”
So where exactly is Lufthansa expanding in the United States next year?
Starting in June 2024, Lufthansa will begin two routes from two new markets:
Of Raleigh–Durham, Lufthansa said in a statement that the metro area is “one of the nation’s most thriving academic centers, along with respected research facilities and emerging technology companies. The expansive connections between these facilities, especially technology hubs, and those in Europe, the Middle East, and India, make the route an important conduit for academics and business travelers.”
All told, Lufthansa will operate out of 27 gateways across the United States in 2024.
In addition to the new destinations, Lufthansa is adding a daily direct flight from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport to Munich Airport starting May 30, 2024 (the airline already flies from Seattle to Frankfurt). Prices start at $1,217 one way, and flights will be on an A350-900.
Similarly, Lufthansa will also increase flights from important gateways before next summer, including:
Later this year, Lufthansa is also slated to unveil its new onboard product, dubbed “Allegris” by the airline, which features upgrades across all classes of service. The refreshed cabins will first appear on the newly delivered Boeing 787-9s, which will enter service in early 2024, so some travelers on the Austin and Dallas to Frankfurt routes could be among the first to see the redesigned planes.

Global Entry is currently the fastest way to return to the United States after a trip abroad. This program, available through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency, prescreens travelers and allows them to skip the often lengthy customs lines at airports and other border crossings. The reentry process has gotten even faster for Global Entry members, thanks to the launch of a new mobile app.
A train journey is an ideal way to appreciate fall foliage. Many train lines in the US wind along the same dazzling forests, lakes, and mountains as scenic byways built for cars. But passengers on board a train have the luxury of cozying up and losing themselves completely in the colorful views, without needing to worry about surrounding traffic.
