This measure aims to offer more competitive entry-level prices and greater service personalization, adapting to the needs of diverse traveler profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Fare Structure Adapted to Current Demand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting April 28, the aviation conglomerate will integrate the <strong>Economy Basic<\/strong> fare for travel beginning May 19. This implementation will be carried out gradually on selected routes, complementing the existing offer to provide greater transparency and choice for passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new service class architecture is defined as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Economy Class:<\/strong> Four clearly differentiated fare options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Business Class:<\/strong> Three available fare levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Economy Basic Details and Digital Channel Optimization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Economy Basic<\/strong> fare is specifically designed to optimize the experience for day-trippers or those with minimal baggage requirements. Its main characteristics include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Included Baggage:<\/strong> Allows exclusively for one personal item, such as a small backpack or a laptop bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Service Flexibility:<\/strong> Passengers retain the ability to add ancillary services, such as carry-on or checked baggage, according to their specific requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Booking Channels:<\/strong> The fare will be available through the airlines&#8217; official websites and via <strong>New Distribution Capability (NDC)<\/strong> channels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/lufthansa-group-structures-summer-network-20000-flights-cut-to-prioritize-operational-efficiency.html\">Lufthansa Group Structures Summer Network: 20,000 Flights Cut to Prioritize Operational Efficiency<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Participating Airlines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This product update will be adopted by all group carriers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lufthansa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SWISS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Austrian Airlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brussels Airlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discover Airlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lufthansa City Airlines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Air Dolomiti<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexibility Improvements: Evolution of the &#8220;Light&#8221; Fare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the launch of the new basic level, the group has announced enhancements to its pre-existing <strong>Light<\/strong> fare. With the goal of offering greater travel planning security, passengers opting for this fare will now have the possibility to make changes to their booking upon payment of a rebooking fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This modification represents a significant increase in flexibility for the traveler segment seeking economy without totally relinquishing the ability to manage unforeseen circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this move, Lufthansa Group reinforces its position in the European market by offering a more granular pricing structure, allowing each passenger to pay only for the services they truly require while boosting its sales channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid
