Customer Relations USA

We welcome any comments you have about your travels with Lufthansa. Your feedback is especially helpful in our ongoing efforts to better meet your needs.

Ticket Refunds

Tickets purchased at a travel agency 

If you purchased an electronic ticket or a paper ticket from a travel agency (including online agencies), please contact your travel agent directly. Your travel agent is the responsible party to review and process any refund due.

Tickets purchased directly from Lufthansa 

All refunds due will be issued to the original form of payment in accordance with the conditions of the fare type purchased. Please note that some tickets are wholly non-refundable, or require a service fee, which will be deducted from the refund amount. 

If the ticket was purchased from Lufthansa directly and could not be used due to illness or death of the traveler, traveling companion, or immediate family member, please submit your request with the respective documentation to:

Lufthansa German Airlines
Attention: Ticketing Refunds
1400 RXR Plaza, West Tower
Uniondale, NY 11556

Please note that any refund in the above cases is dependent upon the fare type purchased.

Denied Boarding Compensation (DBC) vouchers 

Reimbursement requests for Denied Boarding Compensation (DBC) vouchers received from Lufthansa must be submitted via mail to:

Lufthansa German Airlines
Attention: DBC department
1400 RXR Plaza, West Tower

It is suggested to send your DBC voucher via certified mail, registered mail, or courier service as lost vouchers can not be replaced or reissued. Please keep a copy of the voucher for your own records.
