@chris50 - not the most helpful reply I've ever read
I fly for LH Regional so perhaps someone from mainline can add more details, but essentially we get the standard staff travel that most ZED carriers enjoy. In our case unlimited ID90 tickets for self, spouse, parents and children. LH has travel centres in Munich and Frankfurt.
To get a ticket you go to a machine enter the carrier and route and out pops the ticket, which is ideal for commuters. With LH you can also buy business tickets so that there is no need to beg for an upgrade. Another nice touch is that there is another machine for refunds so that you can take a batch of tickets and refund the ones you don't need at the end of the trip. I usually take a mix of BA and LH tickets when I travel to London for instance.
The big killer is, of course, the tax. Now it is almost always cheaper to fly LoCo that staff travel. Indeed friends of ours from BA were over last week and flew Easy as it was cheaper than BA itself.
