RIYADH, 3 October 2004 — Lufthansa German Airlines, one of the world’s largest and most prestigious airline companies, has successfully measured up to the challenges of globalization and liberalization besides being a highly profitable carrier and industry pacemaker. As one of Germany’s biggest public companies with 400,000 shareholders, Lufthansa is known for its aura of sophistication, environmental-friendly attitude and efficient customer service, thereby making it safe, secure and comfortable.

Serving the region for over 40 years, Lufthansa has built up a strong position as one of the leading international and European airlines flying to and from the Kingdom and Gulf countries. The airline has built this solid standing by striving to continuously offer its passengers the best in service and product offerings. With nine flights out of Saudi Arabia — from Riyadh, Dammam and Jeddah — Lufthansa offers customers the best quality whether one chooses to fly First, Business or Economy class with worldwide connections in partnership with the Star Alliance network.

The Star Alliance Network consists of Air Canada, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, SAS Scandinavian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Spanair, Thai Airways International, United Airlines, US Airways and VARIG. Together, they give passengers access to 700 airports in 128 countries with over 550 lounges.

There is also the possibility of earning and redeeming frequent flyer miles or points on any member airline with priority reservation, standby and boarding for Star Alliance Gold Members and priority baggage handling for Gold members, First and Business Class travelers.

The First Class in-flight cabin services on board Lufthansa flights deliver exclusively down to the last detail and meet the demands of a living room, bedroom and office. The seats are extremely spacious and offer a generous degree of private space.

The sleeper seats are attached with adjustable head and shoulder rests as well as diverse storage facilities; these extraordinary seats can be converted into long beds to offer passengers a soothing and pleasant journey.

The First Class cabin space is a concept designed especially to allow its travelers a comfortable view of their surroundings in the cabin and talk to other travelers or simply use the adjustable screens to create a private atmosphere of their own. Lufthansa also offers its first class passengers a variety of in-flight entertainment to suit one’s pleasure and preference. When it comes to culinary delights, special top-class menus created by Lufthansa’s star chefs are available to one’s taste. The passengers can decide the sequence and time of their menus to suit their convenience.

“Besides a personal monitor, one can enjoy a personal video player with many good films on his/her disposal to watch on our flights,” said a report released by the Lufthansa office here.

The personal monitor for the in-flight entertainment program and a laptop connection which needs no adapter plug, makes Lufthansa’s Business Class seats a comfortable place to work or rest depending on one’s need or mood. The Business Class cabin seats provide its passengers with top comfort and relaxation during flight with the seat offering the longest bed in its class.
