For those who fly Lufthansa in Europe, the curse of E T L fare codes are well known. These are low mileage fares that earn a pittance of miles in their own scheme, and less to nothing in everyone else’s programmes.
So they’re fares to avoid.
Alas, this gets much more difficult as L fares are now being rolled out worldwide on Lufthansa.
So if you’re on the hunt for miles, and flying Lufthansa, KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THOSE FARES as you’ll earn next to nothing on them!
