Influencer says Lufthansa blocked boarding over athletic wear, called her 'naked'

A fitness influencer, Edda Elisa Pilz, says Lufthansa prevented her from boarding a Berlin-to-Austria flight during a summer heatwave because of her athletic outfit, with staff allegedly calling her “naked” and requiring she cover up and zip up. Lufthansa says it has no specific passenger dress code in its terms, only that it may refuse transportation for safety or operational reasons. Pilz’s viral video questions the policy and how she was treated, while Lufthansa has not immediately commented.

Jet fuel surge forces airlines to trim global capacity for summer

Global airlines are cutting about 2 million seats this month—roughly 13,000 fewer May flights—as jet fuel prices jump amid Middle East tensions. Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines are among the biggest cutters, with some reductions via smaller aircraft. EasyJet and Wizz Air maintain schedules through hedging, while the UK weighs loosening slot rules and other contingency measures to curb disruption; analysts warn Europe could face jet fuel shortages if the conflict persists.

TSA flags Oscar as weapon; eight-pound statue goes to cargo, later found in Frankfurt

At JFK, TSA agents allegedly treated Pavel Talankin’s Oscar for Mr Nobody Against Putin as a potential weapon and ordered it be checked as cargo. Lufthansa later disclosed the statue was located and is being returned to Frankfurt, with the airline apologizing for the inconvenience. Talankin had previously carried the award on flights without incident, and the incident prompted Lufthansa to review its handling of guests’ belongings. The documentary centers on Putin’s propaganda and led to Talankin seeking exile after Russia banned the film.

Lufthansa trims 20,000 flights amid jet fuel squeeze from Iran conflict

Lufthansa Group will cut about 20,000 short-haul flights through October to conserve jet fuel as the Iran conflict drives higher oil prices; it will cancel less profitable routes and focus on its Frankfurt and Munich hubs, aiming to save around 40,000 tonnes of jet fuel.

Lufthansa trims summer schedule as jet fuel surges

Lufthansa will cut about 20,000 European short-haul flights this summer as jet-fuel prices surge, saving around 40,000 tonnes of fuel. It will suspend service to several cities (Heringsdorf, Cork, Gdańsk, Ljubljana, Rijeka, Sibiu, Stuttgart, Trondheim, Tivat and Wrocław) with refunds or rebooking onto SWISS, Austrian, Brussels Airlines or ITA Airways; some cuts may become permanent as fuel costs rise. The EU plans a fuel observatory to monitor supply amid broader industry cuts driven by Middle East tensions and soaring costs.
