Lufthansa is renaming its Green Fares to Impact Fares after losing a greenwashing lawsuit brought by Environmental Action Germany. Here's what's changing and what stays the same.
So, other than earning LH more profits on false pretenses, what’s the actual impact of Impact?
@1990_, the impact is on your wallet. The Impact fare lightens it. They need a new tagline: "Lufthansa Group - we're an expert at figuring out new ways to screw our customers."
Seriously, though, with the vague impact of Impact, are they headed for another legal battle?
Exactly, main impact is on your wallet. And hopefully it will help LH grow its margins, the shareholders thank you for your sustainability efforts.
Are these special fares also “bespoke” and/or “curated”? That might make it worthwhile…
The whole aviation industry is responsible for only 1-2% of the global emission, yet airlines have to fawn over those greenwashing addicts.
Good. Maybe they should also disclose the 'impact' of adding a couple of tons of ballast to the LX A330 rather than accept that Allegris was flawed.
Crazy they would even try to pretent they are somehow 'green'
"Impact" is not a word I want to associate with an airplane, as it sounds like a crash.
Well, I always felt this was totally made up. Initially, there was only 2% CO2 emission reduction, now it's a bit more. But then comes Allergis with the additional dead weight ...
I've got the impression LH always complicates things unnecessarily and then ... falls flat on its face. Most other airlines offer various amounts of SAF which can be bought, as simple as that. And they replace their aged aircraft with new ones, including lighter cabins. As simple as that. But the wizzards at LH always complicate things.
They are using the word "impact" wrong . The actual definition is far different . Another word which is overused-improperly is "iconic" . The U.S. does use English properly . The English use English properly , so the writers of these blogs would do better if they were English .
If we’re doing semantics on here (and we totally are), may you please explain your unique use of punctuation? (Like, the . with extra spaces , thing)
Brace for impact.
If Tim Dunn plants a tree for every statement we proved him wrong.
We'd solve climate change everytime Delta releases it's quarterly earnings.
If Tim Dunn plants a tree for every statement he admit he's wrong.
Then LH claims doesn't sound greenwashing after all.
It takes some time to buy a ticket at LH group.
Once you select a "normal" ticket at LH or LX, they push again "are you sure you do not want to contribute to green blah blah",,, if you resist the temptation, the next "offer" is: for 100.000 miles you get a tiny discount, choose cash and miles... you have to resist it twice, before you get to your "normal" payment for a "normal" ticket...
