Please leave your contact details in your Miles & More profile or in My bookings, so we can inform you immediately about changes for your trip.
Due to the extraordinary situation and the high number of cancellations combined with only a reduced number of rebooking options, we will not be able to offer solutions for all passengers. Please check constantly on this page or on our service page for flight irregularities. The self service tools and our Call Centers are unfortunately not always reachable due to a large number of requests.
We advise you not to travel to the airports without a confirmed booking for a flight. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to offer you any short-term rebooking solutions at the airport desks. Due to the regular passenger traffic on weekends, the airport halls are already heavily frequented.

You can find out how to exchange your flight ticket for a train ticket free of charge in the chapter " Substitute transport with Deutsche Bahn ".

In the event of a cancellation, Lufthansa will rebook you free of charge and usually automatically to another flight and inform you via your mobile phone number. If you do not receive a message from Lufthansa, please check the current status of your booking. Here you can also adjust the rebooking if required. Alternatively, you can also use the Lufthansa Chatbot.
If you have booked through a tour operator or travel agency, you may also contact the tour operator / travel agency where the booking was made.
