Lufthansa Name Change Policy

I noticed you asked about Nordwind Airlines' name change policy earlier, but now you're asking about Lufthansa's. I'll provide the details for Lufthansa based on their standard policies.

Lufthansa Airlines allows name corrections under specific conditions, but full name changes (e.g., transferring a ticket to another person) are generally not permitted. Here’s how it works:

Allowed Changes

Minor Corrections: You can fix typos or misspellings in the name (up to two characters in the first, middle, or last name) as long as it doesn’t alter the identity of the passenger. This is considered a correction, not a change.

Legal Name Changes: Updates due to marriage, divorce, or other legal reasons are allowed with proper documentation (e.g., marriage certificate, court order).

Middle Name Adjustments: Adding, removing, or correcting a middle name is typically permitted.

Restrictions
Fees

Within 24 Hours: Corrections made within 24 hours of booking are usually free, provided the flight is more than 7 days away.

After Ticket Issuance: A fee of approximately €100 per passenger applies for name changes or corrections, though this can vary by fare type and region. Legal name changes (e.g., due to marriage) may be exempt from fees if documented properly.

Fare Difference: If a ticket needs to be reissued, you might also pay any difference in fare.

How to Request

Online: Use the "Manage Booking" section on lufthansa.com with your booking code and last name. This works for minor corrections.

Documents: For legal changes, submit proof like a passport, marriage certificate, or court order.
