Lufthansa Tripfinder: UK selected as launch market for new personalised search function

17th December 2009 Booking online with Lufthansa Tripfinder UK selected as launch market for new personalised search function at lufthansa.com “A golfing holiday, but which golf course best suits my game? Give me a weekend break anywhere, but make sure it’s sunny? Dolce Vita in Italy, but only on a tight budget?“ Everyone will have individual wishes before taking off. The brand new Lufthansa Tripfinder has answers to these and a host of other questions at www.lufthansa.com. Instead of looking for specific flight connections on a specific route, customers can use Lufthansa Tripfinder to search and pick up ideas for a holiday to suit their individual needs. The new, innovative on-line travel planner provides the inspiration, utilising diverse criteria to propose suitable holiday destinations which may otherwise have never entered the customer’s head. “Selecting the UK as one of the key launch markets outside Germany for Lufthansa Tripfinder clearly demonstrates just how much we value our UK customers,“ says Marianne Sammann, Lufthansa General Manager UK & Ireland.“ ”With the Lufthansa Tripfinder at www.lufthansa.com, even undecided customers will find the perfect place for a vacation. Be it a beach holiday in Europe on a specific budget, or a short weekend break at a resort promising a minimum 25oC - the Lufthansa Tripfinder offers our UK customers entirely new options for holiday planning.“ Using the travel planner is child’s play: Customers start by entering the departure airport and a maximum ticket price. A subsequent interactive map shows the customer all the Lufthansa destinations available at the specified price. The customer can compare the proposals with one another, and narrow the choice down by entering individual requirements, such as beach, golf, scuba diving, gourmet, nature, history, metropolis, museum or shopping. Once the right destination has been found, the customer can book directly. The offered search results come with a booking guarantee, removing any restraint in the way of a successful holiday.
