#WeCare – so you can fly with no worries
Even in these special times, we want to make sure that you feel comfortable during your flight. We have already taken a number of measures in recent weeks to protect our guests and employees in the current situation.

Before your flight

Hand luggage
In the current situation, individual authorities and airports have restricted the carrying of hand luggage. This is intended to reduce the waiting time at the security checkpoint and speed up the boarding and deboarding process.
Mouth-nose-cover
On all flights to and from Germany, wearing a medical protective mask is mandatory from 01.02.2021 during boarding, on board and when leaving the aircraft. Only the following masks will be permitted: FFP2, KN95 and N95 standard or surgical masks. On long haul flights, we recommend you to bring several masks. Optionally, bring hand disinfectant with you. And if you do, please be sure to observe the regulations for carrying liquids.

The frequency and intensity of cabin cleanings was further increased. This applies in particular to the fold-out tables, the armrests, the safety belts, washrooms and door handles.

Wearing a medical protective mask is obligatory during your stay on board. Visors (face shields), masks with valves, scarves and shawls or masks made of fabric are not permitted on board.
If you do not wear a mask and do not meet the requirements of this exemption, we must exclude you from transportation.
Exemptions from the mask obligation
For health reasons, an exemption from the mask requirement may be made. An exception is only accepted with a current (not older than 48 hours) negative PCR test result in addition to a medical certificate on the Lufthansa Group form. Please inform us before boarding.
Air filters
Our air filter supplies a complete exchange of fresh air approximately every three minutes.The resulting excellent air quality, in combination with a face mask, offers so much protection that it is not essential to maintain minimum distances to passengers in neighboring seats.
Simplified onboard service
In order to minimize contact between people on board, our current in-flight service has been adapted and simplified.
