Here’s a quick tip for those in Germany ready, willing and able to fly on short notice.

For cheap airfares to select destinations, be sure to visit >www.lufthansa.com on Wednesday mornings. Under the heading “Are you Ready to fly?” you’ll find a list of five places to which the airline is offering discounted seats from that Wednesday until the following Tuesday only. If you like the sound of any of the offers, be quick about making that booking -- the seats at the best times, particularly those allowing for weekend getaways, get snapped up in a heartbeat. If it’s too much for you to remember to go on-line every Wednesday morning, you can sign up for the company’s newsletter, which features not only the bargain fares but other offers as well.

Mussels in Brussels? Golf in Gothenburg? Why not? These cheap fares make it all possible.
