Lufthansa is to fly the German football team to South Africa on a special flight – and 150 fans will be able to fly along, assuming they a) have 1165 euros for the ticket and b) win the ticket draw.

The winning fans will be given a “Lufthansa World Cup fan package full of items supporters need to cheer the team on”. Will the package include a secret vuvuzela destroyer, or earplugs, we wonder? Maybe both?

The lucky fans will also be allowed to join the press conference at Frankfurt before the flight departs.

Apparently there’s a now a Lufthansa Facebook page – Lufthansa Fanflug – where fans can enter the draw, as well as pitch to be the teams Fan reporter for the duration of the event. Always assuming, of course, that Germany’s 2010 hopes are not dahsed in the opening rounds …
