Please observe the current entry and quarantine regulations when entering or returning to Germany. Make sure your proof of the Covid-19 test result is personalised and state the test method and date of the test. The result must also be validated by a physician or laboratory.

We recommend that you always check in via our digital and mobile services via website or via the Lufthansa app and that you always keep your contact details up to date.

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.

On all flights to and from Germany, wearing a medical protective mask is mandatory since 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.

Keep in mind that many shops and restaurants at the airports may still be closed.

Please note that it is obligatory to wear a medical protective mask in airport shops, when using airport transport and sometimes also in the terminal facilities.

Use the hand sanitizers that are available.

We strongly recommend to check in for your flight via our digital and mobile services on our website or within the Lufthansa app.
