Fly more sustainably with Green Fares, now worldwide
Do you love travelling around the world and exploring new countries, but would like to do so responsibly? With Green Fares, you can already choose a fare for flying more sustainably when you book your flight.1 The calculated flight-related CO2 emissions will be reduced, and the remaining ones will be offset, now also on intercontinental flights. Earn up to 20% additional miles and Points for booking Green Fares.
Green Fares on European flights
Green Fares have already been available for two years on European connections with Lufthansa Group airlines. Selecting one of the Economy Green and Business Green fares will reduce 20% of the calculated individual flight-related CO₂ emissions by using sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and offset the remaining 80% of CO₂ emissions to an equivalent extent by contributing to high-quality climate protection projects. This combination of 20% reduction and 80% compensation is a fixed part of the Green Fares on European flights and allows for more sustainable air travel.
Green Fares on long-haul flights
After a successful trial period on selected intercontinental connections, Green Fares are now also available on almost all intercontinental flights with Lufthansa Group airlines. The only exceptions are flights to and from Japan and China as well as journeys that start in North and Central America. Selecting one of the Economy Green, Premium Eco Green, Business Green or First Green fares on intercontinental flights will reduce 10% of the calculated individual flight-related CO2 emissions through the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs). The remaining 90% will be offset through a contribution to the Lufthansa Group’s portfolio of high-quality climate protection projects.
What does “reducing and offsetting” mean with regard to Green Fares?
Green Fares combine two important aspects: reducing and offsetting flight-related CO₂ emissions.
By using so-called sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) which are currently produced with used cooking oils and fats, at least 80% of CO₂ emissions can be saved across the whole value creation chain in comparison to fossil fuels. This reduces your calculated flight-related CO₂ emissions.
CO₂ emissions are offset by supporting carefully chosen, high-quality climate protection projects around the world whose impact and quality are guaranteed by the highest international standards and local policies.
Simple and easy to book
Green Fares are not add-ons to an existing booking. They are a separate, directly bookable fare alongside Economy, Premium Eco, Business or First Class fares. Economy Green, Premium Green, Business Green and First Green fares offer all the benefits of the related fare categories. Additionally, they offer more flexible rebooking options as well as additional miles and Points.

This is how many additional miles and Points you’ll receive
