Green Fares

 

Travel more sustainably now. Take advantage of our new Green Fares offering to make your own flights within Europe and on selected intercontinental routes even more sustainable.

 

Our new Green Fares also earn you extra Points and let you enjoy flexible rebooking options, plus additional benefits of our Economy or Business Saver fares.

Our goal is to connect Austria with Europe and the rest of the world. We’re introducing innovative measures to make flying more sustainable and ensure that people and cultures stay connected both now and in the future. To this end, we have an ambitious goal in mind: to fly carbon-neutral by 2050 and to halve our net CO2 emissions by as early as 2030. We’re investing in new, more fuel-efficient aircraft, constantly optimising our flight operations and increasing our use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs).

Reduce and offset: Green Fares throughout…

…Europe

Selecting one of the Economy Green and Business Green fares will reduce 20% of the individual flight-related CO2 emissions through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) and offset the remaining 80% of the CO2 emissions to an equivalent extent through a contribution to high-quality climate protection projects. This 20:80 combination of carbon reduction and offsetting is a fundamental part of the Green Fares on European flights and allows more sustainable air travel.

…the rest of the world

We now offer Green Fares on a wide range of intercontinental routes, flown by the Lufthansa Group to make your travel more sustainable.

Selecting one of the Economy Green, Premium Eco Green, Business Green or First Green fares on intercontinental routes will reduce 10% of flight-related carbon emissions by using sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). The remaining 90%  will offset by contributing to high-quality climate protection projects.

Applicable to intercontinental round-trip flights of Lufthansa Group Airlines, except for bookings to and from Japan and China, as well as for journeys starting in North and Central America.
