Lufthansa, the largest airline in Europe and the flag carrier of Germany is temporarily suspending First Class ticketing on five long-haul routes from Frankfurt. Lufthansa would only be offering a two-class economy and
business class service routes between Frankfurt and Nanjing, Guangzhou, Osaka, Kolkata, and Accra (continuing on to Libreville), from December 15, 2009, until March 27, 2010. .
Those passengers who have already booked a first class ticket during the affected period will be contacted and re-ticketed in business class, receiving a refund for the difference in ticket price. They will also have "first call" on the coveted seats in the first class cabin, followed by HON Circle and Senator Members of the carrier's Miles and More loyalty scheme.
