Flying with your family

All on board! Your family – our pleasure!

From booking to landing: with many coordinated services and benefits especially for families, Lufthansa makes flying with children even more enjoyable. As a family-friendly airline, we show an interest in the wishes and requirements of every individual passenger, large or small, and meet a high standard in terms of safety and quality.

At the airport with your family
With Lufthansa, flying becomes an enjoyable experience for the whole family that begins as soon as you arrive at the airport. At our Frankfurt and Munich hubs, in particular, families are especially well looked after before boarding.

In Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich, families can check in their baggage themselves at the self-service bag drop kiosks.

If your children would prefer to play and run around, visit the play corners specifically designed for children which most airports provide. We have compiled an overview of all the relevant touchpoints at our two hubs in Frankfurt and Munich. You can find it here:

You can find further information on the websites of your departure and destination airports.

On-board entertainment

Keeping our young passengers entertained is very important to us, so we offer an extensive inflight entertainment program for teenagers, children (2–7 years), and babies (0–2 years) on board .
