Lufthansa to auction tickets

JAKARTA (JP): German airline Lufthansa will launch a live
ticket auction through its local website www.lufthansa.co.id
starting Sept 6. in a move to provide better service to its
customers.

Lufthansa Indonesia general manager Tobias Ernst said in a
statement that by conducting a periodic auction, his company
hoped to attract more net users in Indonesia to visit and use its
website for information as well ticket transactions.

"There will be 30 return tickets to be auctioned, with
destinations such as London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Madrid, New
York, Washington and Singapore. Successful bidders will receive a
confirmation of their purchase by phone and e-mail," the company
said in a statement.

To participate in the auction, potential bidders must
register online at the website in order to receive a user ID. The
website will list the schedule and flight details a few days
prior to the auction, the company said.

Bidding for each return ticket will start from as little as
US$10 and incoming bids will be in increments of $20, $30 or $50.

"The first auction will take place between 10:00 a.m and 4:00
p.m. Jakarta time," it said. (dmr)
