Lufthansa Flights Increase To Five Days A Week
The increase of the successful non-stop service to Frankfurt begins in June
ST. LOUIS, MO (September 1, 2025): As of this morning, those traveling from St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) to Frankfurt Airport (FRA) on Lufthansa Airlines will have two additional days to consider in their travel plans. The German airline will increase their service from three to five days a week beginning in June of 2026. This seasonal increase in service will run from Monday, June 1, 2026 to Tuesday, October 20, 2026. Flights will now be available on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
“This is exactly the type of service the St. Louis region wants and needs as we move toward Lufthansa’s fourth anniversary in St. Louis,” says Airport Director and CEO Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge. “The reported loads on the Frankfurt service have remained high from the inaugural flight back in June of 2022 and this is an acknowledgement of the support our regional travelers have shown to Lufthansa’s non-stop service.”
Currently, the airline uses Airbus A330-300 aircraft for their three-time a week service at STL (with arrivals and departures every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday). The A330-300 seats 255 passengers in a three-tier configuration of business, premium economy and economy classes. In the summer of 2024, Lufthansa averaged 94 percent load factors on the flights flown out of STL.
Lufthansa serves more than 200 global destinations from its hub at FRA, with most of those destinations being served once or more a day. Furthermore, many European markets can be reached easily via train service from Frankfurt, one of the world’s leading financial centers. This summer the airlines of the Lufthansa Group (Lufthansa Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, and Eurowings) offered a total of 300 destinations in over 100 countries with around 12,000 weekly connections.
