Lufthansa to fly direct to CPT year-round

LUFTHANSA will launch year-round

Frankfurt on December 2.

Flight LH577 will leave Cape Town

at 18h30 on Thursdays, Saturdays

05h30 the next day.

The return flight LH576 will depart

Frankfurt on Wednesdays, Fridays

and Sundays at 22h10 and arrive in

with Lufthansa’s German and other

European customers.

Lufthansa will use a 279-seat Airbus

A340-300 on the route with 30 seats

in business class, 28 in premium

economy and 221 in economy.
