We were planning a trip to tour Israel…
We were planning a trip to tour Israel in March 2024. I called Lufthansa after our tour was canceled because of the war to see if we could get vouchers from them to use for a trip to Europe we were planning for the summer of 2024 to destinations we knew Lufthansa flew to. They said that since the flight hasn't been canceled, they couldn't do anything. I kept calling to see if there was anything they could do to get us vouchers and I kept getting the same answer. After about a month of that, I noticed that I couldn't access our booking number. They no longer recognized our booking number, our ticket numbers, or our names. It was as if we had never made the reservations! Then we got a "credit" on our credit card for taxes, and other fees for a tenth of the full ticket amounts. When I called them they said that they had given us a refund and that was it. The flight was finally canceled and others on our tour received full refunds from Lufthansa, but not us. We ended up filing a dispute with our credit card company and won and now have received the full refund. They could have kept our money if they had given us vouchers when I first requested it, but instead we went with another airline and we will NEVER us Lufthansa again! Very bad customer relations!
