The new Flight Value Voucher: Rebooking without time pressure
Customers whose flight has been cancelled or who wish to travel at a later date can now transfer the value of their unused ticket to a Flight Value Voucher. In addition, they will receive a Discount Voucher of EUR 50/CHF 50/USD 50*. This offer is valid for all passengers with Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa and SWISS tickets issued up to and including 15 May 2020 with a travel date until 30 April 2021.
Both the Flight Value Voucher and the Discount Voucher can only be redeemed for online bookings on the websites of the respective Lufthansa Group airline (austrian.com, lufthansa.com and swiss.com) and on lhgroup-agent.com. It is not possible to redeem the vouchers at a travel agency or via the Lufthansa Group Service Centers.
Please note the following about the Flight Value Voucher:
- The offer is only valid for tickets issued on Austrian Airlines (257), Lufthansa (220) or SWISS (724) document with a point of commencement in the European Union, Switzerland and Great Britain
- Brussels Airlines tickets (082) cannot be exchanged for a Flight Value Voucher
- A transfer of the ticket value into a Flight Value Voucher is available to all passengers – regardless of the original booking channel
- Partially used or reissued tickets, PNRs containing EMDs, IT fares, group bookings and tickets paid for by invoice or cash cannot be converted into a Flight Value Voucher
- When the ticket is converted into a Flight Value Voucher, the original ticket is set to coupon status "R" (refunded). Refund requests that have already been made are automatically cancelled. A refund request via BSPlink is also no longer possible

You can still reissue all tickets which are excluded from conversion to a Flight Value Voucher on the basis of the goodwill rules or Flight Irregularity Policies – including a 50 EUR discount for the passenger and a EUR 10/CHF 10/USD 10 reissue bonus for your travel agency**. Of course, this also applies to all tickets for which your customers have not requested a Flight Value Voucher or Discount Voucher online.
