Can I change my flight on Lufthansa?
The Lufthansa flight change policy for COVID-19 ended on May 31, 2022. This means that the regular fare conditions will apply again from June 1, 2022. Your flight ticket can no longer be changed and rebooked free of charge—unless the fare conditions of your permit.
Lufthansa’s flight change policy allows you to rebook most flights for a fee, depending on the fare conditions of your ticket.
