Lufthansa announced the fare reduction on June 23 for all economy bookings to Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. The promotion runs through September 30 with travel valid until December 15. More than 180,000 seats are available at the discounted rates.
The airline cited softer summer demand and increased competition from Middle East carriers. Average load factors on the India routes fell to 78 percent in May. The price cut aims to stimulate last-minute bookings.
Previous similar promotions in 2024 sold out within 10 days. This year's campaign includes free date changes up to 48 hours before departure. Premium economy fares are also reduced by 15 percent.
Star Alliance partners are offering connecting fares from other European cities at matching discounts.
What this means for you
Book immediately through the Lufthansa website or app to secure the €399 fares. Use flexible search dates to find the lowest prices. Families should verify child discounts remain available at the reduced base fare.
Consider adding a stopover in Frankfurt or Munich for no extra cost under the airline's current promotion. Avoid third-party sites that may not honor the full terms.
Expect these low fares to disappear once the allocated inventory sells out, likely within two weeks.
