Lufthansa

I bought a round trip from Paris to São Paulo last year in Student Economy. Outbound was July 15, 2025 and return is March 5, 2026. From the start, my plan was to move the return to August 2026 since I wasn’t sure when I’d go back to France. Now when I try to change it, the...

I’ll be flying long-haul with my four kids and we managed to get seats together, but since there are five of us there will likely be one aisle seat next to a stranger. My plan is to sit next to that person and let the kids rotate between the window seats during the flight....

Got a long flight coming up from Munich to São Paulo, about 12 hours 20 minutes. Currently booked in Premium Economy and haven’t selected a seat yet. Trying to decide if it’s better to wait until check-in in case there’s a chance for a business class upgrade, or if that could...

Flying Berlin to Chicago via Frankfurt tomorrow with Lufthansa and only bringing carry on. My ticket says 8 kg for cabin baggage. Do they actually weigh carry ons at the gate or check in? I’m trying to figure out how strict they are. Also I don’t see anything clearly mentioning...

Currently switching from BA Gold Guest List to Lufthansa. Did the €99 status match to Senator and should be set with SEN until 2028. If I really commit to Lufthansa Group and take some less convenient routings, I could probably hit HON this year. I get the published perks, but...

I’m flying into Munich on Lufthansa and then have a 1 hour 35 minute domestic connection operated by Lufthansa City Airlines. Questions: • Will I need to collect my checked bag in Munich and re check it for Lufthansa City Airlines? Or will it be checked through to my final...

Looking at a ~12 hour flight and the price is basically the same between Lufthansa (Allegris aircraft) and Cathay. Upgrade isn’t really an option since it’s way too expensive 😭 so I’m stuck choosing economy. For anyone who’s flown both, which would you pick purely on comfort...

Posting this in case it reaches the right person. On Lufthansa flight VL2478 from Munich to London Heathrow on March 8, a black Dell laptop backpack disappeared from the overhead bin near seat 31C after landing. It looks like someone may have taken the wrong bag by mistake. The...

Someone asked an interesting question about lounge access at SYD. They’re flying Sydney to Hong Kong on a Lufthansa codeshare operated by Cathay Pacific, booked in economy, and they have Lufthansa Senator status. The confusion is whether that status gives lounge access in Sydney...

Flying with Lufthansa soon on the route Bucharest to Munich to Bangkok and planning to travel with just one bag that is slightly larger than the allowed carry-on size. The ticket already includes a checked bag, but the preference is to keep the bag as hand luggage because it’s...

Got a choice coming up: SIN to FRA on a Lufthansa 747-400 or BKK to MUC on an A380 Never flown either type. I’ve done the 747-8 before, but not the -400. If I could afford business, I’d pick the 747 upper deck instantly. But realistically I’ll be in economy. So no upper deck...

Lufthansa has acknowledged multiple times that they owe us €800 for delays. It’s been four months. Dozens of emails. Chats. Promises. Still no payment. At this point it’s less about the money and more about the principle. It genuinely feels like they acknowledge liability and...

Looking at flying to Buenos Aires on Lufthansa and would love to try First. Trying to game it a bit… is it usually cheaper to book Business and then upgrade to First later instead of just buying First outright? If upgrades are possible, what do they typically cost? Is it cash,...

You’re reading it correctly. On intercontinental routes, Star Alliance Gold gets 1 free checked bag even on Economy Light with Lufthansa and SWISS. It’s a status benefit layered on top of the fare. The key parts: It applies on intercontinental segments. It usually must be added...

We’re in Bangkok and my boyfriend is booked on LH773 to Munich tonight. He checked in about 13 hours before departure and got put on the waitlist because the flight is overbooked. At first he was number 12, now he’s 27 out of 38 which honestly feels kind of insane. Didn’t expect...

Booked a ticket on AA.com for my daughter to travel from Germany to Austin for a wedding. The itinerary was Frankfurt to Munich to Charlotte to Austin, and I even used a systemwide upgrade for the Munich to Charlotte segment. The only concern was the one hour connection in...

Running into a stressful situation and hoping someone here has seen something like this before. My wife and I originally had a Lufthansa itinerary that got disrupted because of the strike. Lufthansa rebooked us onto a British Airways flight for the same route, departing in less...

Last time I flew ORD → FRA → CDG with Lufthansa, they sent an email the night before offering free checked bags because the flight was full. I normally travel carry-on only, but I accepted and it was actually pretty nice boarding last with no overhead bin stress. Now I’m flying...

Quick question for people who know Frankfurt airport well. I’m arriving on Singapore Airlines at 10:40 and looking at an ICE train that leaves at 11:57. I won’t have any checked bags, just carry-on. On paper that’s about 1 hour and 17 minutes from landing to train departure....

Usually I connect through A at Frankfurt and it’s easy. Lounge, coffee, bathroom, straight to the next gate. This time my connection was B03. Thought it was a typo at first. Went from A34 down the stairs, through the tunnel, waited forever for the elevator back up, and ended up...

Just watched a guy on FRA to DUS try to parade his whole family on early because he’s 1K… on Lufthansa. Gate agent had to tell him twice that Star Alliance Gold doesn’t mean “pre board with the gods.” First when he tried to pre board, then again when he tried to jump into Group...

Planning a trip to Bosnia and looking at a return FRA–EWR flight that’s currently scheduled on an A340. I’ve recently gotten into aviation and would really love to fly the A340 before Lufthansa retires them. For those who follow LH ops more closely… how likely is an aircraft...
