Default Lufthansa Online Europe fares


I was trying to book a airfare Frankfurt-Rome via Lufthansa Online. When I
set my domicile to Germany, the fare comes out to 150 Euros. When I set the
domicile to USA, the fare comes out to over 1200 Euros. (However, completion
of the booking requires a correct domicile to be set).

If I book through a travel agent in Germany, can I get the German fares? Or
am I just out of luck on this one?

Thanks
Suresh

same flights, same dates?
You should ask Lufthansa why this is happening.
Have you tried other websites?

I've had good luck finding the right intra-european fare on Expedia, of all
places. It's worth checking Expedia and Travelocity. www.opodo.de may
also quote the better fare--but again you need a foreign address to purchase
the tickets from them. And have you tried www.ual.com (United will list LH
flights--though they might not help with that fare).

Thanks for those hints. UAL also lists fares 1200 Euros. Now that I
looked, the lufthansa website does say that the fare can change based on
your home country. I guess I will try some travel agents in Germany as
well.

All part of the cutthroat airline market in Europe now? In the domestic
market, they're in a price battle with the no-frills startups.

What would happen if the OP 1. registered a German address with his
credit card company, then 2. purchased the tickets from the LH website
with Germany as his country of domicile? Presumably they are
e-tickets, so he would not have to worry about where they would be
delivered!
