Conclusion: From about mid-April the Nachsasion in Thailand. At this time there are as non-stop flights Munich back in Bangkok and Thai Airways to 500, - EUR - far cheaper than Lufthansa, LTU, Condor, etc.

We now have over "traveltopia" at The new Etihad Airline of the United Arab Emirates at a price of 654, - EUR posted. Departure end of February - there was enough available dates, quotas and no frivolous marketing bluster.


Answer - Lufthansa

On 02/16/2007 I received Post by Lufthansa, pointing out that they are sorry ... "Please understand that this only a certain number of seats available. Thus it is quite possible that this book not to request a date is possible." Available dates are from 10 to - 20 April 2007 give.

Condor - Munich, Bangkok and back from 99, -
course that was just a flop. There were no flights at that time, of course, but much later from the end of March and April, but then also more expensive.

Reply - Consumer Federation of Association

Dear Mr. Reeg,

we can understand your displeasure very good. The discrepancy between advertising reality of the quotas is an important consumer policy issue that is hard nut to crack. We have the Department of Law Enforcement has already tried to work with individual airlines, however, but here the problem of burden of proof is significant.

We have the issue in the eye and thank you for your message with the reference to the airlines and offers.

If it is a nationwide problem, then the Consumer Association the right place

Newsletter Lufthansa 31.1.2007 - Asia ... Long Distance Deals - poor Lufthansa!

On 31/01/2007 I received the newsletter by mail with offers to Bangkok from 669 EUR! Since I am currently in the process of organizing a trip to a small group - clicked quickly. But at no gave the departure dates in March, a free contingent. Call to the online service - a friendly lady checked the database. Result: "There is no free space!" Me: "That should surely not be true What's that for business conduct?" Answer: "There's probably someone undermined a mistake."

Ok! Board-mail to Lufthansa. First attempt "This service is not available right now!" Second attempt finally worked. Buy It came with a confirmation transaction number - since I've heard nothing more.

are now being offered 2/2/2007 capacity. Cheapest Offer Munich Bangkok departing March 2007 for 984 EUR - 1194 or alternatively 3033 EUR (per person)! In Thai Airline (Star Alliance partner of Lufthansa), it is quite normal and without the marketing for 870 EUR.
Conclusion: Poor Lufthansa when marketing such actions are necessary.


alternative: the portal of "traveltopia" and the new Etihad Airline of the UAE - there are flights from Munich to Bangkok actually for 667 EUR with available space at different times - we have booked!

flights to Bangkok via LTUR with LTU - similar fraud

Another attempt for a cheap flight booking with LTUR with LTU, we tried the 6.2. about 21:00 clock. It was in the portal of LTUR spare capacity at different times of flights from Munich to Bangkok for a price of 658 EUR with LTU.

We our desired date from late February to mid March and studied were asked to input the data of the four persons. comes after the entry and release of the book .... an image (it should probably be funny) and the message "... has snapped up in just one!"

Further experiments with the same price at other times led again to the same result. The indicated price of 658 EUR and the specified dates as free wuren still displayed. It also offers over 1,000 EUR to verify we were waived. Conclusion of the customer will be many suppliers Beschi ....!

Another test: Condor offers flights to Munich, Bangkok and back from 99 EUR

A friend and travel agency owner gave us the indication of an auction of Condor flights in our time window for the price from 99 EUR. We have set a limit of 450 EUR and are curious. The start of the auction on 8 February 2007 at 10:00 clock. To be continued ....
