Fares havent been set properly yet. They should have that set for launch really, how many have looked in the past few days with the publicity around it but have been turned away by the fares?

silvercity, thanks for your thorough research. Two of the destinations are especially pertinent for me and hopefully I can make full use of the service in the Autumn, covid permitting.

Just done a dummy booking for July/August to Singapore with LH, same connection flight times from both LPL and MAN. £867 from Manchester £3804 from Liverpool Why is this happening? This agrees with my findings in conjunction with the "Companion Special" promotion. I stopped looking at Liverpool, and I hope that this discrepancy is eliminated, as LPL is massively more convenient

The long haul connections are still coming in at £3800 in economy for July - August, not a good start really when you can do the same route in First from Manchester for the same price.

I tweeted too, replied straight away, unsatisfactory response. Have forwarded to Liverpool Airport, thus needs resolving ASAP.

Almost all of the connections I've seen Lufthansa advertise on social media from Liverpool via Frankfurt are to destinations already served directly from here in the first place by easy/ryan/wizz. They are advertised between £100 and £200. The remainder are relatively minor european destinations. So apart from people actually wanting to go to frankfurt itself, I can't see how Lufthasa will actually have any customers on this service if the only useful connections are nearly 10x the price of MAN?

When announced, worldwide connections where highlighted, so I think that in time the prices will adjust. I don't know if its something to do with the booking engine or something of its ilk. However it is annoying as I would like to book a long-haul flight with them. The destinations being proffered at present are somewhat limited, although there are plenty throughout Germany which is particularly poorly served at present. There are interesting ones such as LVIV but they are probably marginal destinations from Liverpool. However, the flight frequency and timing appears to suggest they are mainly targeting point-to-point traffic which I think meets the need, with of course a splattering of connecting traffic. Bearing in mind some of the unusual destinations that you can go to direct from Liverpool with similar frequencies, it should, Covid permitting, be a success on that basis alone, but I definitely want long-haul connections at a reasonable fare which I hope will be forthcoming, but I can't wait too long to book.

Looking at Singapore in July I found that if I book in one go via Frankfurt then it’s about 3 times the cost of MAN however if I look at 2 separate bookings SIN-FRA and FRA-LPL then the price in total is more similar, which is a bit strange, and defeats the object of having a straight through booking.
I wrote to Lufty. Just an acknowledgment so far.i

It seems to me Lufthansa have launched this route, without having everything ready. Liverpool Airport did a post on Twitter with various fares to European destinations with LH, let's hope the long haul destinations follow soon so the service can be used to its full potential.

I reckon this is a problem which has originated and will be solved in the IT/Software area. In the meantime this is a very annoying and has the potential to defect interest in this route.

There has been a glitch in the Lufthansa fares system. They have identified it, as a result the full range of fares from Liverpool to longhaul destinations will be available showing much cheaper fares.
