Promises Story

A lot of Germans now see international travel in a harshly negative way.  If you were to head off to New Zealand or Australia....there's those odds of being stuck there.  Thousands of Germans leaned the hard way.

It came up this morning, via a Lufthansa public announcement (Frankfurt's Allgemeine Sonntagzeitung)....that they wanted all Germans to feel happy and sure about travel in the future....so they have this 'return flight guarantee'.

The wording is: if you are denied entry because of a personal body temperature, quarantine situation, the virus goes into another stage, etc.....there will be this guaranteed flight home.

Here's the thing.  Most Germans are eyeballing all the rough treatment that German tourists had in March and April, some by Lufthansa....some by other airlines, and frankly....they see this Lufthansa promise as BU**SH*T. 

This announcement will be handed out to travel agents and they will make an effort to make it sound truthful and honest.  But Germans will remember the negativity and hostility of people as they attempted to return home and were denied.
