Lufthansa Wheelchair service

Request

Register your wheelchair or mobility requirement as a special service request at least 48 hours before departure, ideally when booking online or via Manage Booking; later requests can't guarantee full assistance.

At airport

A wheelchair service takes you from the terminal to the aircraft (and back on arrival) at no extra cost, included in your fare.

Onboard/equipment

You can bring up to two mobility aids free of charge, in the cabin or the hold; battery-powered wheelchairs need advance notice of battery type so ground staff can handle them safely.
