Jo Lloyd, Head of Brand at Birmingham Airport, said:
"Shoppers in the Bullring will be able to experience
jetting off with Lufthansa in this novel promotion of
the new Berlin route"
.
"This latest addition to our summer flight schedule is great
news for Birmingham Airport, giving passengers even more
choice. Berlin is a top European city and this new route will
mean flying there has never been quicker and easier"
.
Dirk Schreier, Marketing & Pricing Manager, UK & Ireland
for Lufthansa, said: "We hope the people of Birmingham enjoy
taking part in this fun activity, where they can experience for
themselves what it’s like to fly with Lufthansa and hopefully
win some great prizes along the way"
.
"The decision to launch this new service to Berlin follows a
record breaking year for Lufthansa, who carried the highest
number of passengers to and from Birmingham
in the airline’s history"
.
The "take off and win" activity will take place between
Thursday 24 and Sunday 27 May 2012, on the ground
