Lufthansa Begins Flights From Frankfurt to Minneapolis-Saint Paul

Great news for travellers in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area! Lufthansa has commenced its brand new, non-stop service between Frankfurt, Germany and Minneapolis-Sait Paul, MN, USA.

With the commencement of this flight, the Twin Cities will receive convenient year-round access and streamlined connectivity to Germany, Europe and beyond, as a result of the vast Lufthansa Group network that spans the globe.

Flight LH482, operated with a Boeing 787-9, departs Frankfurt Airport at 11:10 a.m. touching down at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport at 1:15 p.m. Eastbound flight LH483 departs Minneapolis-Saint Paul at 3:05 p.m. and will land at 6:30 a.m. the following day in Frankfurt. All times are local. This non-stop route operates five times weekly on Mondays, Tuesday, Thursdays, Saturday, and Sundays.

The Boeing 787-9

The new Minneapolis-Saint Paul service will operate with a Boeing 787-9 in a three-class configuration (30 Business Class seats, 21 Premium Economy seats and 215 Economy Class seats). Contributing to Lufthansa’s commitment to a sustainable future in aviation, the aircraft consumes up to 30% less kerosene than predecessor models and produces correspondingly lower emissions.

In addition, the Boeing 787-9 offers customers the best view of the sky by providing the largest windows that have ever been fitted on an aircraft. Their elevated position ensures stunning views even from the middle row. Plus, with a simple touch, you can adjust the window's shade to create your perfect level of in-flight ambiance.

Vast worldwide network

With the launch of Minneapolis-Saint Paul service, the Lufthansa Group carriers will operate to 26 gateways in the USA, offering some 400 weekly flights during the current summer schedule. Lufthansa Group aims to continually develop its offerings and is dedicated to expanding its network within North America with several route launches occurring in the summer season 2024.

Already, Lufthansa launched a new non-stop route from Seattle to Munich, and increased capacity to Washington D.C. with an A380 from Munich. Following the Minneapolis-Saint Paul launch, Lufthansa will start direct service from Raleigh-Durum to Frankfurt on June 6th. SWISS, also part of Lufthansa Group, recently began flights to both Washington DC and Toronto, Canada,

With easy worldwide connectivity as a main priority for customers, Lufthansa is well equipped to respond to this need. Minneapolis-Saint Paul customers will benefit from the direct link to Lufthansa’s Frankfurt hub. Additionally, as a member of the Lufthansa Group, one of the world’s leading aviation organizations, Lufthansa offers customers access to an extensive worldwide network.

Lufthansa Group is comprised of Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, and Discover and has code share flights with United Airlines and Air Canada, as a result of the Atlantic Joint Venture.
