Lufthansa 1 + 1 = 2 or maybe 3?
Just an observation.
I need to fly a round trip JFK to LEJ (Leipzig, Germany) on 3/30/2015 and return on 4/22/2015. There are no direct flights from JFK to LEJ. Flights go through FRA. I want the JFK-FRA leg to be in the business cabin and and the second leg from FRA to LEJ in coach both ways.
If I book online using the LH site or Vayama.com site one round trip JFK-LEJ costs $4,300 where the long leg is in business the short leg in coach.
If I book two separate trips, the long leg in business costs $2,973 and short leg in coach costs $164, total $3,137, over $1,000 less then the first option.
one plus one equals three!!
