The selection of upgrades

Lufthansa will let you know by email whether you will receive the upgrade at the latest 24 hours before your scheduled departure. Before the selection is made, all tickets that are the subject of an offer will be checked again according to the terms and conditions of participation. If the booking has been changed in the meantime, an upgrade will no longer be possible.

If your offer is accepted, your credit card will be debited with the amount you specified. You will receive new electronic tickets and, at check-in, boarding passes for the new travel class. If the flight is cancelled because of disruptions, your upgrade will be valid for the next available flight.

If your offer was not accepted, we will also let you know by email. You will then fly in the travel class you originally booked, and you will not incur any extra costs.
