Introduction

Lufthansa can offer a complete refund for flights canceled without a replacement or if your scheduled flight has been delayed by at least two hours. You may also be eligible for a refund if the scheduled arrival is delayed by at least two hours or the actual departure time is suddenly changed (on the same day) by more than five hours. If you cancel for reasons other than those mentioned above, the refund will be subject to certain conditions. Use the guide below to help you process your refund with Lufthansa.
