Yes, Lumiwings has 2 planes.
It is precisely a Boeing 737-300 from 139 seats and a Boeing 737-400 by as many as 168 seats. As for the 737-300, the seats are distributed into 30 "Business" and 94 Economy, while for the 737-400 there are 12 in "Business" and 150 in Economy.
Quotation marks are in order because in practice it changes very little Between Economy and Business, maybe in the 737-300 you gain a few more inches.

Lumiwings fares and prices
Being a charter and low-cost flight company, the prices are definitely very tantalizing. On the official website we can see offerings ranging from €35/38 to €45/48 each way and not in high season.
As for the rates, on the other hand, we have 4 types: Light, Classic, Flex e Business. Light is the classic low-cost fare, with the important difference of the baggage 23kg cargo hold including in the price, a convenience we are gradually seeing disappear in cheap flights.
The Business fare also offers several options, such as the convenience of seat selection and the editable rates, in addition to the refund of the ticket if something unexpected happens or the flight is canceled.
So what about this new Lumiwings, a small reality that is trying to emerge among the biggies as far as the low-cost sector is concerned. There is still a long way to go long, but when travel can return there will probably be room for this small Greek airline as well.
For now, the routes are. few and the number limited of aircraft does not allow for much expansion, but we will see what the future holds for Lumiwings. Hopefully, the vaccination campaign will increase and the health passport is finally up and running so that we can try this new company this summer.
