Today we celebrate one year of Lufthansa in Liverpool, and to mark the occasion, we presented one passenger, Emma Taylor, with a free pair of return flights! 🎁

Emma is a teacher who lives in Cairo, but uses Lufthansa to travel between the Egyptian capital and Liverpool, where her parents live.

Congratulations to Emma, and here's to many more connections to and from Liverpool with Lufthansa. 🥳

but given the CAA stats suggest the LPL route is struggling, they might well be cautious.

Can you expand on that. What makes you think it’s struggling. I was under the view it performed quite well and at times upgraded the aircraft.

 

[Silvercity]

They have upgraded the aircraft at times, A319s during Eurovision. Also E190 substitute at times, which I've flown on myself.

Is the route in general doing well loads wise?

As far as i know, yes.

 

[A400]

As far as i know, yes.

Good to hear. Not sure why some on here claim otherwise.

 

[Silvercity]

The flights are available to book into 2024, I take they are happy with doing that.

CAA stats are some months behind so the route may be performing much better during the summer months but Scottie Dog reported LF in February at 44% and in March at 55%.

If it follows last summer it should be. Winter is different.
