Germany's most-traveled airline, Lufthansa, now offers 'Lufthansa Surprise,' a discounted flight program that offers deals to unknown destinations.
Travelers are able to book a surprise round-trip flight ahead of time, selecting a category of travel they are most looking for (like 'Sun and Sand' or 'Shopping') and the German airline will fly them there on the cheap. All of the destinations are in Europe and include major cities like Rome and Paris. Participants must depart from either the Munich or Frankfurt airports but with deals starting at around 69 €, it is still a great way for a spontaneous trip.
Lufthansa Surprise is a fantastic way to fill unsold seats and draw attention to less-popular destinations. This is also fantastic for travelers to discover destinations that wouldn't typically be on their radar.
