GWP011: Ukraine/Russia – flexibility for group bookings with departures through 28 February 2023

The current situation in Ukraine and Russia causes uncertainty among your customers.

The travel possibilities are very limited and the further development cannot be foreseen at the moment. The airlines of the Lufthansa Group offer the possibility to cancel unticketed group bookings free of charge for departures between 16 March 2022 and 28 February 2023. Of course, the cancelations will have no negative impact on the materialization rate.
