TWP 2202: Rebooking options for existing bookings

+++ This goodwill policy is no longer valid +++

To offer your customers more flexibility for their travel planning, we have again extended the rebooking deadline through 31 May 2022 – for existing bookings with a confirmed ticketed date of travel on/after 1 July 2020 and on/before 31 August 2021. New date of travel: on/before 28 February 2023. The goodwill policy (TWP 2202) is valid for passengers with an unused or partially used OS/LH/LX/SN/EN ticket issued on/before 31 July 2021.

***
Note for passengers with a confirmed ticketed date of travel between 1 and 31 May 2020:

The rebooking/reissue is only possible through 15 April 2022. After that date, any unused or partially used tickets may be refunded in accordance with the fare conditions. This applies to tickets which have been placed "on hold" on a voluntary basis.

Note for passengers with a confirmed ticketed date of travel between 1 and 30 June 2020:

The rebooking/reissue is only possible through 18 May 2022. After that date, any unused or partially used tickets may be refunded in accordance with the fare conditions. This applies to tickets which have been placed "on hold" on a voluntary basis.

Background information: For technical reasons, access to tickets is limited to 720 days after the last ticketed coupon travel date.
***

Please note: The date of ticket issue always refers to the current ticket, i.e.:

• If the ticket has not yet been reissued: date of original ticket issue
  
  
• If the ticket has already been reissued: date of the reissue
