The best kept airline secret in the business

The best kept airline secret in the business

Want to know the best kept secret in the airline business? Come closer, we’ll tell you.

SWISS global fares might sound like just another airfare, but little do you know, it’s actually one of the most efficient and affordable ways to travel the world. Literally.

If you’re keen to get creative and build the perfect itinerary for your clients with maximum choice, these SWISS global fares are the ideal platform to get your clients traversing across the globe.

“We have been working hard to integrate the Lufthansa Group product offering from all three carriers and combining our tickets into one seamless transaction,” general manager, Australia, Anil Rodricks said.

“A passenger can now fly out with Lufthansa via Singapore but can come back with Swiss via Hong Kong, or go out on Austrian and come back on Swiss, or any combination thereof. We recognised that if we could do this in a comprehensive and seamless way, the market would embrace it and sell the product all together.

“The revenue that we are gaining from combined tickets is growing rapidly. It is only by bringing the products together that the true strength of the group makes sense to customers, who want to leverage the huge capacity that we have in Asia and Europe.

Here’s an example of just how easy (and value for $$) these global fares really are:
