    My flight was canceled just one hour before departure. I was then placed on another flight the next day, in a lower class than what I originally booked. After that, my luggage was lost for an entire week. Now I’m simply trying to change my flight and request a fair refund, and customer service is telling me there is no solution. Even worse, during the conversation, the representative was laughing and completely dismissive of the situation. I have the entire conversation recorded. If anyone has experience with social media or customer advocacy, please reach out. I’m considering sharing the footage and recording publicly because customers should not be treated this way. This entire experience has been unacceptable.

    If I could give a zero rating to this company I would. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Don’t try to get a refund for your airfare no matter what your circumstances are. Even if you have complications from a surgery and you have written confirmation from your surgeon advising it would be dangerous to travel.

    No empathy! No compassion. I have lost my money but Lufthansa will suffer more from the countless people I will advise to NEVER fly this airline!!

      Because United Airlines flight was delayed and unhelpful and unfriendly custom in Frankfurt airport, we got to Lufthansa gate right after they closed the door. They didn't allow us to go in. Some airline will wait for customers but not Lufthansa. Their flight can be delayed but customers are not allowed. Also LH458 is the worst flight I fly with. The economy seats are very narrow. The problem was I couldn't find an option to change seat before check in. On the check in day, there were no seat together I could upgrade to. I would not fly with this airline again if I could avoid in the future. And I didn't like the food and entertainment too,

      They were so rude at the ticketing gate in Rome. Then my wallet was missing after security and they were even worse. I was told to go grab my kids (grown/adult) at the gate and come back into the security room. We had only 15 minutes h till boarding. I told my kids that we were getting on that plane and praying for the wheels to get off the ground. Worse people ever!!

      We are now in Namibia with none of our belongings because of Lufthansa's ineptitude in London Heathrow. They have no idea how to judge overhead bin capacity so they start randomly picking people and demanding they check their carry on. Our plane took off with EMPTY overhead bins. The process should not be random; if they have to harass people about their bags they should pick people who are not connecting to other destinations. Very basic but beyond the grasp of Lufthansa.

      Our bags fit nicely under the seat but the abrasive LH employee would not listen. She knew full well checked luggage would not reach the final destination given the delayed first flight but she forced us to surrender our carry-on, ruining the start of our vacation. And when they fail to deliver luggage you cannot talk to a customer service person; there's only a frustrating app. So no telling when our bags will arrive. Never again will we be bullied out of our luggage on a connecting flight, nor will I fly Lufthansa. Too bad because their food and service on the plane were quite good and the planes themselves were nice.

      I am beyond disgusted with Lufthansa customer service. They actively lie to your face, cost you thousands of hard earned dollars, and completely refuse to honor their own employees' promises. Here is the little nightmare story of my family of four:

      Months ago, I responsibly booked tickets ahead of time for my family. Our itinerary required a connection in Munich. Between booking and flying, Europe introduced the new Entry/Exit System (EES), creating massive passport control delays. Knowing the new lines would make it impossible to catch our connection, I tried to do the right thing. I spent hours trying to cancel with Lufthansa early so they could resell our seats and provide us with a refund.

      I finally reached an agent at Lufthansa’s headquarters in Germany. He seemed to understand the situation and explicitly, repeatedly promised me a full refund for BOTH the flights and the seat selections, despite them originally being non-refundable tickets. Thinking our circumstances are understood and based on his word, I authorized the cancellation.

      A month later, Lufthansa only refunded a couple of hundred bucks for the seat selections. When I called their US customer service to find the rest of our money, they flatly told me: "Too bad. The flights are non-refundable. We don't know what the other agent promised you because we were not on the call with you."

      Lufthansa takes zero accountability for what their own authorized representatives tell customers. They cost us a significant amount of money, broke our trust, and caused hours of stress. If they had honestly told me a full refund wasn't possible, I would have possibly come up with an alternative plan or altered our flights. Instead, their careless, irresponsible, and flat-out lying customer service misled me and left us stranded.

      I will now go out of my way to never fly with Lufthansa again. I will ask everyone I know to avoid Lufthansa. I will try and post this review on every reputable travel site to make people aware of Lufthansa's Irresponsible customer service. Please share this post to warn your friends and family so they know how "Well" Lufthansa treats their customers. #ServiceFail #CustomerServiceFail #lufthansaviews #Lufthansa #donotflywith #ConsumerAlert #TravelNightmare #airlines

      Lufthansa lost my luggage again in one year in two of my flights. I cannot reach a live agent, chat options are useless. I told them where my luggage is, as I have a air tag, still in terminal one in Munich, today lufthansa wrote an email stating they will make sure my luggage finds its way to Munich airport!! It is in Munich Airport! It is like a joke! Very poor customer service, no one answering, no live option. I am telling them where my luggage is with pictures in the report, they are still trying to locate it!! Look at their response below, bag is in Munich airport already and see what they write me, see the picture. It is embarrassing for an airline to function this poorly.

      Despite my report they have no idea where the bag is and not to mention it needs to be transported to Charlotte NC, not Munich Airport. Sadly there is no one that I can talk and correct their mistake. I cannot believe I fly with this airline..lucky that pilots must be good I am still alive. The business side and customer service extremely poor..

      Lufthansa has a bad opinion and we just learned today why. Horrible airline, they are like Sprit or Ryanair. Our flight was delayed from Dallas to Frankfurt and we wouldn’t be able to make it to our connecting flight from Frankfurt to Wroclaw. Lufthansa didn’t care. The lady on the phone told me it’s not their problem and she charged me and my family over $650 penalty to move the flight…. Wtf. This is our first family trip with Lufthansa and it’s the last one. We will never use that airline again. Go strike as much as you want. If you don’t support people, people will not support you. You can go bankrupt as far as I know and I do not care. This company is poorly managed and had a bad customer service. Save yourself and get a different airline.

      Horrible customer service. Avoid flying with Lufthansa. After a flight cancellation and new flight book by Lufthansa 2 days after the initial departure date(!!!) Impossible to get in touch with their customer services, take weeks to have a response, and still haven't got reimbursement after more than 3 months.

      My experience with Lufthansa was one of the worst travel experiences I have ever had. My original flight was canceled due to “technical problems,” but Lufthansa refused to provide a hotel voucher because I am from Colorado, despite the fact that I live over 3 hours away from the airport. They also provided no food vouchers or any meaningful assistance. To make things worse, I originally paid extra for a route with only 2 stops, but Lufthansa rebooked me on an itinerary with 3 stops instead. The second flight out of Washington was delayed, which then caused additional delays and problems with my third flight.

      Customer service in Frankfurt was absolutely terrible. I went to the Lufthansa front desk because there was supposedly a “mistake” that United Airlines needed to correct. Lufthansa sent me to United, but United had no idea what the issue was and did not fix anything. I then had to go all the way back to the Lufthansa desk, only to find out the Lufthansa agent could have fixed the issue himself with a simple phone call the entire time. All of this wasted time and stress was just to get a new boarding pass issued. It gets even worse with the baggage situation. In Frankfurt, I specifically asked if my luggage was with me and was told yes. When I finally arrived in Wroclaw, I discovered my baggage was actually still sitting in Denver. It took 3 days to get my luggage back.

      My return trip was just as bad. My flight from Wroclaw to Munich was canceled, and someone at Lufthansa somehow rebooked me on a flight from Frankfurt to Munich to Denver — even though I was in Poland, not Germany. Frankfurt is not even close to Wroclaw. The rebooking made absolutely no sense. It then took me two full days on the phone to get Lufthansa to correct the itinerary. Because of their incompetence, I also had to spend extra money on hotels. Between the cancellations, delays, terrible customer service, misinformation, baggage problems, and complete lack of accountability, Lufthansa turned what should have been a normal trip into a stressful nightmare. I will avoid flying Lufthansa in the future whenever possible.
