Lufthansa Plays Big Brother To Jetblue To Help You Fly To Europe
In case you didn’t know, Lufthansa and JetBlue have been friends for a while, even though their friendship is a little forced. See, the German airline owns about 16 percent of the low cost carrier. So it was no surprise to learn that the two airlines are teaming up to create a codeshare alliance. That means JetBlue can get you anywhere Lufthansa flies, well, at least in theory.
So if you’re stuck in a market without too many European options, just jump aboard one of your city’s JetBlue flights, and you’ll probably be able to seamlessly connect abroad thanks to big brother Lufthansa. For now, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, and Tampa are just some of the cities that will kick off the codeshare agreement.
Most likely you’ll have to connect in New York to get to one of Lufthansa’s birds, but you probably can let the two airlines move your checked luggage and you won’t need two separate tickets. Anything that can get us across the pond quicker, easier, and cheaper sounds good to us. Only issue here is that if you're lucky enough to have purchased an All-You-Can-Jet Pass, it doesn't apply to Lufthansa routes. Bummer, and we totally had a craving to spend next weekend in Frankfurt.
