Lufthansa is rolling out a new stopover option in Munich for passengers traveling to/from Singapore and the U.S., allowing stays of up to seven days with integrated hotel and car bookings

## Summary

Lufthansa has introduced a new stopover program at Munich Airport (MUC), allowing passengers on long-haul routes between Singapore and the United States to extend their layovers for up to seven days. This pilot program is integrated directly into the booking process on lufthansa.com and is available for all travel classes. Key details:
- Eligibility: Passengers flying to/from Singapore and the U.S. with a connection in Munich.
- Duration: Flexible stays between 24 hours and seven days for either the outbound or return journey.
- Cost: The base fare does not change, but additional airport taxes and potential surcharges may apply. Hotel, car, and activity add-ons are available through partners.
- Availability: Initially limited to Singapore and U.S. routes, with plans to expand to other regions and Lufthansa Group hubs over the next year. This marks a return to stopover packages for Lufthansa, which had previously withdrawn them, positioning Munich as a destination rather than just a transit hub
