Question 1

What is the LH* charge on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

The LH* charge is a billing descriptor used by Lufthansa, the German airline. Lufthansa often appears in abbreviated form on bank and credit card statements when you have purchased a flight ticket, upgraded your seat, added baggage, or paid for another travel-related service through them. The amount will vary depending on what you booked.

Question 2

I don't remember booking a Lufthansa flight — could this charge be fraudulent?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Lufthansa uses the shortened LH* descriptor, which can be easy to overlook or forget, especially if you booked through a third-party travel site that processed payment via Lufthansa directly. Check your email for any booking confirmation from Lufthansa or a partner airline. If you still cannot identify the charge, you can review your active bookings at lufthansa.com/br/en/my-bookings#/ to see what is associated with your account before disputing it with your bank.

Question 3

How do I cancel a Lufthansa booking to stop future charges?

Accepted Answer

To cancel a Lufthansa booking or manage your reservation, visit lufthansa.com/br/en/my-bookings#/ and log in with your booking reference and last name. From there you can view, modify, or cancel your flight. Keep in mind that refund eligibility depends on the fare type you purchased, so some tickets may be non-refundable or subject to a cancellation fee.

Question 4

Why does the LH* charge on my statement show a different amount than what I expected to pay for my Lufthansa ticket?

Accepted Answer

Lufthansa charges can vary because the total cost of your booking may be split across multiple transactions, such as a base fare charge followed by separate charges for seat selection, checked baggage, or travel insurance. Taxes and currency conversion fees can also cause the final billed amount to differ slightly from the original quoted price. To get a full breakdown of your charges, log in to your booking at lufthansa.com/br/en/my-bookings#/ or check your original booking confirmation email.
