What to expect

Luxair is the flag carrier of Luxembourg and the only airline in the country that runs regular scheduled passenger flights. All its flights start at Luxembourg Airport, close to Luxembourg City, and serve about 95 destinations in Europe, North Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. It suits business travellers heading to and from Luxembourg and holidaymakers from the Grand Duchy and the nearby border regions.

Luxembourg Airlines in 1948 and the 1962 relaunch

Luxair's roots are in Luxembourg Airlines, set up in 1948. The present company was created in 1961 and began flying on 31 March 1962. Its head office is in Munsbach, near the airport. The State of Luxembourg holds 52.04 per cent of the shares directly and about 75 per cent in total through state-owned bodies. Lufthansa sold its 13 per cent stake to the state in November 2015.

In 2022 Luxair had a turnover of 683 million euros, a net profit of 67.1 million euros and 3,118 employees. That year it became the first airline to paint an aircraft in a rainbow livery for Pride Month.

Business routes and seasonal flights from Luxembourg

Luxembourg Airport (LUX) is the base. The scheduled network links Luxembourg with major European cities for business travel, and many seasonal routes go to holiday destinations around the Mediterranean, North Africa and beyond. Some routes run only in summer or winter, so check the timetable for your dates. Luxair has codeshare agreements with Air France, Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines.

Miles & More

Luxair uses the Lufthansa Group’s Miles & More programme.

Eligible Luxair flights earn Miles & More miles, which can be spent on Luxair, Lufthansa Group airlines and Star Alliance partners.

Baggage allowance

Luxair does not give every passenger the same allowance: the route, the cabin and the fare you buy each change it. Your LG e-ticket shows what you have.

Cheap tickets

Luxair fares out of Luxembourg move with the season and the fare brand. These habits help keep the price down.

  1. 01

    Try midweek LG flights

    Luxair fares are often lower on midweek departures. Search a spread of dates around your trip to find the cheaper days.

    Midweek flights
  2. 02

    Avoid peak seasons

    Luxembourg school holidays push up fares to sun destinations. Travel outside them if you can.

    School holidays
  3. 03

    Price the bundle, not the base fare

    Look at the next Luxair fare up: if it bundles a hold bag or easier changes, it may beat the basic fare plus extras.
