Lufthansa Refunds Policy

Lufthansa states that they will refund any unused ticket or unused portion of a ticket in any of the following cases:

• The person whose name is written on the ticket or the one who paid for it is the one who can be granted a refund. They will need to provide certain proof of purchase
• If the name on the ticket doesn’t match the person who bought it, Lufthansa will give the money back to the person who made the purchase or follow their instructions
• They will not give you a refund in case you lost the ticket. You may get your money back only when you can provide them with the ticket or any unused flight coupons
• According to the first two bullets, a refund will be made to anyone who shows the passenger coupon and all unused flight coupons and presents themselves as the legitimate recipient of the refund
• You will be able to get your money back if Lufthansa cancels a flight or if there is a flight delay (if you have to wait for more than two hours for a long term irregularity, or more than five hours for a short term irregularity)
• If you haven’t used any portion of the ticket
• If you have already used a portion of the ticket, but it’s not less than the difference between the fare paid and the fare applicable to the parts you have already used for flights
• If you haven’t been granted a refund for a lost ticket or portion of it and it hasn’t been replaced without the ticket fare being charged again
• If the passenger loses the ticket or a portion of it, the loss will be their responsibility

If Lufthansa Refuses To Grant You a Refund Use DoNotPay To Sue Them

If you are having trouble in communication with Lufthansa and they are not willing to accept your refund request for some reason, you can ask DoNotPay to help you sue them in small claims court. The process is quite simple, but the rules of small claims court are different in various states, so be sure to check if you have grounds for filing a lawsuit.

If you do, DoNotPay can help you compose a demand letter that you need to send to the defendant before filing a lawsuit. We will make sure it includes all the key elements like:

• Your personal information
• Reasons you are having trouble with Lufthansa and suggestions on solving it
• A statement where you clearly say that you are going to file a lawsuit

After this part is done, we will also gather all the forms you will need at court and complete them for you. You won’t have to worry about whether you’ve acquired all the copies needed since it is all taken care of already. Then you can easily file them with the court. You could do it online, or you might need to go there in person—this depends on the court’s rules.

Another part left to do is inform Lufthansa about your lawsuit by providing them with stamped copies of your court forms. This process is known as serving the defendant, and DoNotPay will happily do it in your stead!

And for your appearance at court, your virtual assistant can provide you with a script that can help strengthen your arguments and help you win the case!
