Preparation
A healthy journey
Please protect yourself and your fellow travellers. Only set off on your trip if you feel well. If you or a passenger travelling with you feels unwell, please rebook your flight in accordance with your fare conditions in good time before departure.
Digital document check
Have your Covid-19 travel documents checked in advance. This way you will know at an early stage whether your documents are complete and correct.

Get all the most important things done for your upcoming trip while you’re still at home by using our digital services and feel more relaxed when travelling on the day of your trip.
Mobile check-in
We recommend that you use digital, contactless check-in via our website or the Lufthansa app.

At the airport
Plan your time
As a general rule, allow more time at the airport, especially if you wish to check in baggage.
Covid-19 tests at airports
Many airports are providing Covid-19 tests. You can find information about the test centres at your departure airport after entering your departure and destination airports here.
Baggage drop-off
At many airports you can drop off your baggage at our self-service bag drop kiosks and also obtain all baggage receipts there.
Lounges
We have opened our lounges. You will find up-to-date information about our lounge services and the respective locations in our lounge directory.
Face masks
You are still obliged to wear a face mask at many airports. Please find out about the regulations at your journey’s airports.
Hygiene at the airport
Please keep an appropriate distance from other travellers at the airport too. Please also use the hygiene services, such as hand sanitiser, provided by our airport partners.

On board
Contactless boarding by group
By "boarding by group" you get on board your aircraft more quickly, while maintaining the required safe distance. Please only board when your boarding group is called. Information about your boarding group can be found on your boarding pass.
Face masks
You are obliged to wear a medical face mask on board as well as on entering and leaving the aircraft. Please note that visors or masks with valves (or made of fabric) are not permitted on board. Passengers who have already been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 must also wear a face mask on board and observe the rules.
Cabin cleaning
Our aircraft cabins are deep cleaned before and after each flight. In addition, the frequency and intensity of cabin cleaning has been increased.
Air filters
The air filtration system changes the air in the aircraft completely approximately every three minutes to provide excellent air quality.
Disembarkation process
Our disembarkation processes have been adapted. Please pay attention to the on-board announcements of your crew.
