Green Fares: more sustainable air travel with Discover Airlines
Net carbon-neutral by 2050–that’s the ambitious target that the Lufthansa Group has set itself. Challenging, but worth every effort to achieve. And to achieve it we aim to reduce emissions from air travel as much as possible. One step towards reaching this target are our Green Fares that allow more sustainable air travel.
Reduce and offset: Green Fares throughout Europe
Selecting one of the Economy Green and Business Green fares will reduce 20% of individual flight-related CO₂ emissions through the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and offset the remaining 80% of CO₂ emissions to an equivalent extent through a contribution to high-quality climate protection projects. This 20:80 combination of carbon reduction and offsetting is a fundamental part of the Green Fares on European flights and allows more sustainable air travel. The Lufthansa Group also offers Green Fares on selected intercontinental routes.
How to book Green Fares
Green Fares are not booked as a specific add-on. They constitute a stand-alone fare that you can book direct, alongside our Economy or Business Class Fares. Our Economy Green and Business Green Fares offer all the benefits of our fare families, in addition to more flexible rebooking options and additional award and status miles.
