If unexpected changes mean that you need to reschedule a flight that you booked with Lufthansa, you can easily do so by modifying your flight itinerary. Depending on the type of ticket you originally purchased, you can easily make this change online, free of charge. If your ticket does not allow itinerary changes, you may still be able to cancel the flight and rebook it.
Life is full of unexpected changes, which means travel plans don't always work out the way you originally wanted. If a sudden change to your plans means that you need to adjust the itinerary on a trip you booked with Lufthansa, simply read on to find out how.
If you change your flight's itinerary within 24 hours of the time you booked the trip, you will not be charged for any modifications - the same applies for re-booking your flight. If you make any changes after the 24-hour period has expired, varied charges may apply, based on the type of ticket you purchased.

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Lufthansa in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our How Can I Change My Itinerary with Lufthansa? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible.
