Fares
The fare to be paid covers the cost of transporting you from the airport at the actual place of departure to the airport at the actual final destination. It is calculated in accordance with the tariff which is applicable on the day you book your ticket for the flight dates and itinerary shown on your ticket. If you alter your route, this may have an impact on the fare you pay. The fare is recalculated on the basis of the actual route taken and, if applicable, the difference subsequently charged. Your fare does not include ground transport between airports or between airports and city centers.
Taxes, fees and carrier charges
Applicable taxes, fees and carrier charges imposed by the airline, government or other authority, or by the operator of an airport, shall be payable by you. At the time you purchase your ticket, you will be advised of taxes, fees and carrier charges not included in the fare, most of which will normally be shown separately on the ticket.
Reservation Service Fees
Customers who make a reservation through lufthansa.com may cancel their reservation without penalty up to 24 hours after the reservation is made, if the reservation was made seven days or more prior to the flight’s departure. Lufthansa will allow customers to hold a reservation made directly with Lufthansa’s telephone reservation center without payment for up to 24 hours, if the reservation was made seven days or more prior to the flight’s departure.
- Online (lufthansa.com) - No fee
- Online (lufthansa.com) for flights originating outside the U.S. - 15 EUR fee
- Via phone (Lufthansa Call Center) - $20 ticket service fee
- At the airport - $20 ticket service fee
Secure Your Fare (Reservation with price-guarantee)
With the Secure your fare option, you can reserve the selected flights at the price specified for up to 48 hours. No ticket will be issued and you will not be charged for the reservation. A cancellation fee of $39.00 will be charged if you cancel your reservation or take no action within the 48 hour time limit. The "Secure your fare" fee is non-refundable.
Free baggage rules on Lufthansa (per bag/ each way)
The permitted free baggage allowance is determined by the service class booked and the status of the passenger and is shown on the ticket/Passenger Receipt.
On all Lufthansa-operated flights the following basic rules apply to free baggage:
1 bag up to 23 kg
2 bags each up to 23 kg
2 bags each up to 32 kg
3 bags each up to 32 kg
Free baggage dimensions:
The maximum size per piece of baggage (width + height + depth), regardless of class, is 62 inches (158 cm). Items of baggage that are larger or heavier than the permitted dimensions and weight or that are additional to the free baggage allowance will be carried as excess baggage for a flat fee, see more information below.
Free baggage allowance at a glance:
*Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama.
Excess baggage regulations and flat fees (per bag/ each way)
For all tickets a maximum travel weight of 32 kg per item of baggage applies, irrespective of service class. Items of baggage which exceed these weights will not be accepted as travel baggage. They can be sent by air cargo at air cargo rates.
For Lufthansa guests fees* apply if their checked baggage meets the allowed pieces but possibly exceeds in weight and/or dimension:
More info on excess baggage can be found here
The free baggage allowance for children under two years of age is one piece of baggage weighing up to 23 kg and one folding pushchair.
* Please note that in a number of countries a service charge may be incurred, in addition to the flat fee, for checking in excess baggage.
Exceptions to free baggage allowance regulations
For Lufthansa Economy Class passengers, on certain routes or with particular products, there are separate free baggage allowances with regard to the number of baggage items, and in some cases the weight.
Special free baggage regulations for Economy Class
Special baggage rules for travel to/from or across the USA
Under a consumer protection law issued by the US Department of Transportation, the following baggage rules apply to flights to/from or across the USA:
- Consistent baggage rules apply to all parts of a journey to/from or across the USA. These include the free baggage allowance, the dimensions and weight of each of your bags, the level of any charges that may be incurred and hand luggage regulations.
- The baggage rules set by the airline which is listed first on the ticket are those that usually apply here. If Lufthansa is listed on the first flight segment of your ticket, then Lufthansa’s baggage regulations will apply to your entire journey* — both your outbound and your return flight.
- However, any airline which is listed as the first carrier on the ticket is at liberty to transfer the baggage rule stipulation to another airline in the itinerary (the so-called ‘Most Significant Carrier’). In such a case that other airline’s rules would then apply to the entire journey.
- Lufthansa therefore cannot guarantee that, for a Lufthansa-issued ticket, the Lufthansa baggage rules will always apply in every case. Other airlines often have baggage rules which differ from those of Lufthansa.
For details of the free baggage allowance applying to your individual flight, please see your ticket and the e-mail confirmation which you receive from Lufthansa.
*Hand luggage rules may vary due to local laws.

Lufthansa FlyNet®
Deutsche Telekom offers you three individual tariffs for using the Internet service. Payment is possible by all major credit cards. It is also possible to pay using PayPal. Miles & More members can also redeem award miles to settle their bill.
- 1 hour: USD 9.00 or 3,500 miles
- 4 hours: USD 14.00 or 4,500 miles
- Full flight (up to 24 hours): USD 17.00 or 5,500 miles
The full flight tariff (up to 24 hours) can be used in any Lufthansa aircraft fitted with FlyNet® while it remains valid. Please be aware that all tariffs are based on the so-called ‘parking meter principle’. This means that your HotSpot pass Sky has a fixed duration which starts when you first log on and which cannot be extended by intermittently logging off the Internet.
Alternatively, if you are a customer of Deutsche Telekom or one of its affiliated roaming partners, you can also log on easily and conveniently with your access data, which you will need to request before the start of your journey. Your FlyNet® Internet use will then be charged in line with your service provider’s tariff. Please bear in mind that use on board the aircraft is billed as ‘international roaming’ and is therefore not necessarily included in the flat rate.
With the sole exception of flights over China: the system switches off automatically when the aircraft enters Chinese airspace and switches on again after leaving it.
Sky Phone - telephone on board
With our Sky Phone you can make phone calls during a long-haul flight.
The fee for use is USD 9.95/minute.
The Sky Phone is located between Business and Economy Class. Its technology was developed especially for phoning from Airbus A340 and Boeing B747 aircraft types.
The charges for your calls will be billed comfortably via your credit card.
Travel insurance
For questions regarding your plan or to receive a claim form, contact Travelguard:
USA 1-877-709-5590

All additional costs such as taxes, fees and carrier charges (e.g. airport taxes, security fees, international surcharges, insurance surcharges, cancellation/rebooking fees, etc…) up to $1,000 associated with the issue or use of an award shall be borne by the member and may be charged to the member’s credit card. Information on the amount of taxes, surcharges and any service charges may be obtained from the Miles & More Service Team (Please note that with this link you are visiting an external website that may not follow the same privacy, security or accessibility policies).
Miles & More: Award reservation change/cancel fee
You can redeposit miles from fully unused award tickets within 1 year from the date of issue once the reservation is cancelled.
A charge of 50 EUR or 70 CHF/ USD 60 is payable for rebooking or cancelling a flight award. This amount may vary or be waived for certain flight awards. Only the date and time of a booking can be changed.
It is not possible to change routes. A flight award once issued is non-transferable. The sale, exchange or offer for auction of award documents is not permitted. Miles from different mileage accounts cannot be transferred or combined.
Flight awards can also be given without payment to friends and relatives without your having to accompany them on the flight. Flight awards passed on to third parties must be booked by you in person. The relevant number of miles will be debited from your mileage account.
Unaccompanied minors
Air fare
The air fare for children up to 12 years of age is determined by the rules of the tariffs which apply. For exact information on prices please contact the Lufthansa Service Center, your local Lufthansa Airport Ticket Team or your travel agent.
Supervision charges
In addition to the air fare, supervision charges apply per flight/segment:
Examples of calculation of the charges
Flight from Vienna via Munich to New York EUR 60 / USD/CAD 90 (for the flight within Europe) + EUR 100 / USD/CAD 165 (for the intercontinental flight) = EUR 160 / USD/CAD 255.
Flight from Delhi via Frankfurt to New York EUR 100 / USD/CAD 165 (for 1. intercontinental flight) + EUR 100 / USD/CAD 165 (for 2. intercontinental flight) = EUR 200 / USD/CAD 330.
Lap children
Infants who turn two during the journey will require their own seat; a child fare will be charged for the whole journey.
On Lufthansa long-haul flights special baby cots are available. Please be aware that the number of seats with cots are limited. We have special bassinets available for you on our entire long-haul fleet: they are perfectly suited to babies under 11 kg in weight and under 67 cm in length. Night flights are especially suitable for journeys with small children because children can then maintain their usual sleep pattern and get some rest.
Charges for transporting animals
Animals are not included in the free baggage allowance; the level of the charge is based on the size of the container or crate (excess baggage):
Guide dogs and other service dogs
Guide dogs for the blind and deaf as well as other service dogs that you depend on are transported free of charge on Lufthansa flights and may also travel inside the cabin. Please remember to notify us of your guide dog ahead of time.
