It’s no secret that I am a big fan of AirBnb. We are starting to use it more and more and I suspect that many of you are also catching on to how great it is. But, a post by Onemileatatime has caught my eye and got me thinking about the applications for Airbnb going forward.

Lufthansa Selling Tickets On Airbnb?

It looks like Lufthansa is selling premium economy seats between Frankfurt and New York on Airbnb at the cost of 699EUR for a roundtrip, valid for tickets from Frankfurt to New York. Say what?

Here’s the listing info:

Bottom Line

We have used AirBnb now enough times to see a couple different scenarios. Mainly, we rent from homeowners of vacation homes, but sometimes we see rental companies or management companies using Airbnb to market their client’s homes. One time, we even were able to switch to a totally different Airbnb rental via the management/rental agency (once we arrived) because we didn’t like the one that we committed to via Airbnb. But, Lufthansa selling seats between Frankfurt and New York on Airbnb is certainly a new concept for me! What’s next?
