Lufthansa cancellation policy

You can cancel online up to 2 hours before departure, with the refund calculated from your ticket's fare conditions — check 'Fare conditions' in your booking confirmation for whether it's refundable. Tickets booked 7+ days ahead can be cancelled free within 24 hours of purchase regardless of fare type.

Open Manage Booking or contact the original booking channel and review the itemised refund before confirming. The final amount depends on fare rules, timing, taxes, add-ons and used sectors.

Often yes, subject to the fare's change fee and any fare difference. Compare the total change cost with the cancellation loss before deciding.

Airline-initiated disruption can create rebooking or refund choices that differ from voluntary cancellation. Review the options in the airline notification or Manage Booking.

We summarize Lufthansa's own published cancellation policy. Airlines change fees, allowances and document rules without notice, so always confirm the latest details on the official page linked below before you travel.
