1+860-215-4413 Can I Change a Name on a Lufthansa

Lufthansa, like many other airlines, typically allows name changes on flight tickets under certain circumstances, but there are specific policies and procedures to follow:

Basic Policy: Lufthansa generally allows name changes on tickets for a fee, but this may depend on the type of ticket you purchased and the specific fare rules associated with it.

Tickets Purchased Directly from Lufthansa: If you bought your ticket directly from Lufthansa, you can usually make changes through Lufthansa's customer service channels, including their website, mobile app, or by calling their reservations number. They will inform you of any fees associated with the name change.

Third-party Purchases: If you bought your ticket through a third-party website or travel agency, you may need to contact them first to inquire about changing the name on the ticket. Some third-party vendors have their own policies and procedures for name changes, and they may need to coordinate with Lufthansa on your behalf.

Documentation Requirements: When requesting a name change, Lufthansa will likely require certain documentation to verify the identity of the passenger and ensure security compliance. This may include a copy of your government-issued ID or passport.

Fees: Lufthansa typically charges a fee for name changes on tickets, and the amount may vary depending on factors such as the type of ticket, the fare rules, and how close it is to the departure date. The fee is usually non-refundable.

Exceptions: In some cases, Lufthansa may waive the name change fee, such as in situations involving a legal name change (e.g., marriage, divorce) or in cases of misspelled names. However, these exceptions are at the discretion of the airline and may require documentation to support the request.

Timing: It's generally easier to make name changes well in advance of the flight date. Changes made closer to the departure date may incur higher fees or may not be possible at all, especially if it affects the airline's ability to comply with security regulations or if the flight is fully booked.
