Little ray of sunshine from Lufthansa
Passengers whose holidays are blighted by downpours could be in for a financial silver lining after Lufthansa began offering compensation for rainy days to 36 destinations including New York, Washington and Rome.
The carrier is offering passengers who book from its native Germany €20 in compensation for every rainy day up to a maximum of ten days, according to news reports.
The “sunshine rate” is available to all passengers who book flights until 18 August, and is valid on flights departing between Sept. 1 to Oct. 31.
“If the sunny stay hoped for by many is spoiled by rain, maybe €2 compensation will brighten the mood,” said the airline in a statement.
Claimants should send their travel vouchers, boarding passes and a list of rainy days to the insurer once they return.
Lufthansa joins other companies offering similar rain compensation deals, including two French holiday groups, Pierre et Vacances and FranceLoc.
