Lufthansa imposes ticket surcharge of eight US dollars from 1 October.

In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in the United States Lufthansa has incurred additional costs, some of which will have to be passed on to passengers.
As a result of the crisis, expenditure – for example, on security measures, insurance premiums and other fixed-cost items – has risen significantly throughout the airline industry.
From October 1, until further notice, Lufthansa is therefore compelled to impose a ticket surcharge of eight US dollars per individual flight leg. In taking this action, Lufthansa is following the example set by many other international airlines.

Tickets which have already been issued and paid for will not be affected. The surcharge will be shown on each ticket.
