1. The flight is to or from the United States.

2. The booking was made at least 7 days (168 hours) before the scheduled departure.

3. The cancellation occurs within 24 hours of the initial purchase.

To ensure your 24-hour refund is processed correctly without technical errors, it is recommended to call +1-877-908-6960 to speak with a representative who can verify the timestamp and confirm the waiver of fees.

3. Lufthansa Refundable vs. Non-Refundable Fares

Understanding your ticket type is crucial before initiating a cancellation. If you are unsure which category your ticket falls under, call +1-877-908-6960 for a quick fare audit.

Fare Category	Refund Eligibility	Cancellation Fee
Economy Light	Non-refundable	Only taxes/fees are returned
Economy Classic	Partial refund	Standard fee applies
Economy Flex	Fully refundable	No fee (often)
Business/First	Fully refundable	Generally no fee

Note: Even on non-refundable tickets, you are always entitled to a refund of unused government-imposed taxes and airport fees. Contact +1-877-908-6960 to claim these amounts.

4. Cancellation Due to Flight Disruptions

If Lufthansa cancels your flight or makes a significant change (defined as a delay of 3+ hours for domestic or 6+ hours for international), you have the right to:
