First Class change fees vary more; for some “Basic” or “Basic Plus” First fares the fee is USD ~$450, while some premium First classes or very flexible fares may cost more or allow changes free of charge depending on how “Flex” the fare is.
Are There Rules & Conditions That Affect the Change Fee?
☎ +1-888-531-6247 or +1-888-206-1789 – Yes. The fee you pay can also depend on:
Timing of the change: How far in advance of the flight you request the change can affect whether the fee is higher or waived.
Whether the new fare is more expensive: You’ll almost always need to pay the fare difference if the new ticket costs more.
Route and origin/destination regions: Fees can differ based on whether you're flying international vs domestic, and which continents are involved.
Fare class type (Basic, Plus, Flex, etc.): More restrictive fare classes have higher fixed fees; more flexible ones often have reduced or no change fee.
What If I Change Within 24 Hours or Have a Flex Fare?
☎ +1-888-531-6247 or +1-888-206-1789 – Lufthansa often allows free changes or refunds if the booking is changed within 24 hours of purchase, depending on where you booked and fare rules. Also, some fare types labeled “Flex” may allow one free change (or lower/no fee) before departure. Fare-rules details vary so check your specific ticket.
Final Thoughts on Lufthansa Flight Change Fees in 2025
☎ +1-888-531-6247 or +1-888-206-1789 – In 2025, Lufthansa’s change fees continue to depend largely on fare class and route. If you have a restrictive fare, expect higher fixed fees plus fare differences. If you booked a flexible or “Flex” fare, your change costs may be very low or even zero. Always check your fare conditions when you purchase, and verify the change fee through Lufthansa’s website or customer service before confirming any modifications.
