Lufthansa’s New Stopover Program: Turn Transit Into Mini-Vacation

April 29, 2026

Great news for travelers planning multi-destination trips that include Israel! Lufthansa has launched an exciting new stopover program that lets you turn a simple connection in Munich into a mini European vacation.

Here’s how it works: If you’re flying Lufthansa to destinations like the US or Singapore (and potentially Israel in future expansions), you can now extend your Munich layover from 24 hours up to a full week. The airline is offering packages that include hotels and tourist activities, essentially giving you two trips for the price of one.

This could be perfect if you’re planning a longer journey that includes Israel. Instead of rushing through Munich airport, you could explore Bavaria’s capital, visit its famous beer gardens, or take day trips to nearby Alpine destinations. The program is expected to expand to additional worldwide destinations soon.

For IsraStar travelers, this opens up exciting possibilities for combining your Israel adventure with a European city break. Keep an eye on Lufthansa’s website for booking details and package options as they roll out this innovative program.
