Lufthansa to launch new DTW-Munich flight in May 2020

When I lived in Germany, the direct Detroit-Munich route that came about from Delta was a godsend. It turned a 2/3 flight 14 hour trip into 8.5 hours direct. As a regular traveler to Germany, I look forward to having another option!

The other nice thing about this flight is that it is timed well for onward Lufthansa connections to the Middle East and India. Given the limited number of good options to reach those areas conveniently from DTW, that aspect alone will make this route appealing to some here in Metro Detroit.

100%. Frankfurt captures most of the USA connections in Germany, but Munich has a huge network to the Middle east, asia, and North Africa as well.
