Boarding by groups for faster boarding

To ensure that boarding at the gate runs smoothly, all passengers are called by boarding group.

Lufthansa has introduced a group boarding procedure so you can board your aircraft more quickly and in a more relaxed manner. Your boarding group can be found on your boarding pass. Please only proceed to boarding when your group is called and keep your boarding pass and necessary travel documents handy.

Passengers who check in together will, of course, be assigned to the same boarding group and will therefore also be able to board together.

After pre-boarding, we begin the boarding of priority Groups 1 and 2. Then the remaining groups will be invited to board.
