Lufthansa is continuing to cut back the services in its cheapest tariff, “Economy Light”.
Passengers with these tickets can only change seats on Lufthansa and Austrian European flights from June 21 for a fee of 25 euros, according to information on the Lufthansa website.
There are only exceptions on flights to Italy if children between the ages of two and twelve or the disabled are accompanied.
In all other booking classes, reservations remain subject to a fee as before, although there is still the option of switching to seats that are still available free of charge from 23 hours before departure.
Free reservations on European flights are only reserved for regular customers in the top classes HON Circle and Senator, who are even allowed to secure seats for up to three companions.
Customers in the "Economy Light" fare can only take one piece of hand luggage with them free of charge.
Additional pieces of luggage cost from 65 euros and upwards.
The scope of the fare is flights from Europe to another continent or from Asia, Africa and America to Europe.
It cannot be combined with Lufthansa's European fare.
After losses due to the corona pandemic, Lufthansa has decided on many savings - including serious job cuts and the closure of various lounges.
