OREANDA-NEWS. May 12, 2015. With its Italian atmosphere full of medieval palazzi and churches together with typical cafés and restaurants, the capital city of Umbria will soon be just a one-and-a-half-hour flight away from Munich.

Lufthansa will fly to Perugia from its southern hub twice a week. Munich Airport offers ideal connections to and from all German and most European airports. The Embraer 195 with the flight number LH 1924 will fly at 10:45am on Sundays and 3:00pm on Tuesdays. In August, the Tuesday flight will be replaced with a flight on Thursdays. This will give Lufthansa customers the opportunity to plan a long weekend away during the summer holidays.

Perugia is just one of a total of eight new holiday destinations, with flights to Heraklion/Crete and the Scottish city of Glasgow also departing from Munich and Lufthansa flights to Bodrum/Turkey, and Cagliari/Sardinia operating from Frankfurt for the first time this summer. Another premiere this summer is the flight from Frankfurt to Marrakesh/Morocco, which was launched last autumn. Reykjavik/Iceland and Seville/Spain are two additional new destinations from both hubs. Lufthansa customers can now choose from a total of 35 weekly flights to 18 popular seasonal summer destinations. The programme of flights departing from Frankfurt this summer contains 59 weekly flights to 17 destinations.
