Lufthansa Flies to both Beijing and Peking
Loyal readers of this blog – thanks Mom, Dad – know that I have a certain affection for Lufthansa’s Ready to Fly? program. Each week they magically send me an email update for great offers and each week I dutifully check it out. Today, I received an email with an offer for a round-trip ticket from Frankfurt to Beijing for 299 Euro. Quite a nice little deal. When I clicked on the message and went to the Lufthansa site, I couldn’t help but notice that they had the site listed as being to Peking.
How long ago was the name Peking replaced by Beijing? Officially the switch took place in 1949 so you’d think that the airline might have adjusted its Web site way back when.
Regardless, this is a killer deal on a flight to Peking, err Beijing, err that city in China that is the capital.
