TBWG Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'm thinking of taking LTU to Thailand from Germany. Does anyone have experience with this airline? Hi Justyn I have never flown with them but worked for many years in Aviation airline insurance. Luftransport Uterranen or spelt something that was always considered a good risk. excellent record and well run. In those days they operated L1011's (Tristars) of course things can change but I would not hesitate to fly with them. TBWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Jean Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Flew with them last year. It was a good aoverall experience. Their website is easy to use and you can find the rates for the diffierent days easy. I saved 300 euro by flying 1 day later and returning 2 days later then i initially searched for.

willi2006 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) In February I flew with LTU from BKK to DUS (18000 Baht from travel agency in Khon Kaen) and back in March from DUS to BKK (249 € via Internet). Booking via Internet is easy and quick: LTU > Buchung > Flug > Angebote für Preisclevere. There is a table showing the lowest price for each month from German airports to BKK. Nonstop from DUS or MUC only. DUS the lowest price. Clicking on the price in the table shows the date and the available number of seats. Price differs from day to day, high on weekends. Clicking on the link ฺ"BIET & FLIEG" you can offer a lower price than listed. I offered and paid 249 instead of 299 €, confirmed within 1 hour. Up to 10 days before departure you can buy a railway ticket from LTU for 30 € one way, or 50 € return, valid for all trains, from or to everywhere in Germany. From 30 hour before departure on you can check-in via internet, select your seat and use "Internet Drop Off" or business counter at the airport. For this low price you get less space and food as with e.g. Thai Airways. For me OK for about half the price. In Düsseldorf I recommend to use the railway station " Düsseldorf Flughafen Terminal" and not "Düsseldorf Flughafen", no need to use the skytrain.

LTU is a good airline; their website is also in English: http://www.ltu.de/docs/uk/index.jsp Fleet: " On long haul services to North America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia LTU flies its twin-engine widebody Airbus A330-200. In November 2006, the average fleet age is 5.1 years. " From: http://www.ltu.de/docs/uk/internal/fleet/details/index.html and, ............................I don't even have shares in LTU....

justyn Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Thanks for all the good feedback. Their other advantage is offering reasonably priced one-way fares. It looks like I'll be using LTU soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
