A man exploited the perks of business -class travel to feast for free 35 times in a year at Deutsche Lufthansa AG’s Munich airport lounge -- without ever taking off.
The man used the flexibility of the one-way fare to Zurich to repeatedly reschedule his travel plans after gaining access to food and drink, Munich district court said in a statement. Lufthansa canceled the ticket after more than a year and refunded the price, only for the man to purchase a replacement.
