<h3>Cheapest Flights</h3>
To get the cheapest tickets with this airline, you need to purchase them three to six months before your scheduled departure. Why is it necessary to book Lufthansa tickets so early? This is because of limited-time promotions and pre-sales that encourage passengers to buy tickets.
The closer you get to your departure date, the more the number of available seats on the plane decreases, thus increasing the price of Lufthansa Airlines tickets. It is also possible to take a risk and wait for the last remaining seats to sell out a few days before the flight date, but the chances of such tickets going down are difficult to estimate.

Odbavení (Check-in)

Lufthansa offers several check-in options. If you want to check-in at the airport, this service is free. However, it is worth using the online check-in option or checking-in via the mobile phone app. You can check-in up to 23 hours before departure.
<h3>Online check-in</h3>
To use the online check-in option, visit the website and click on the "<a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://affiliateport.scaletrk.com/click?o=1239&a=6695" target="_blank">Online check-in</a>" section. There you have to fill in booking reference or ticket number and name. You can add another passenger, buy luggage or change your seat assignment.
Online check-in is a good solution for those who don't travel very often and travel without checked luggage - it saves time. With online check-in, you can print your boarding passes at home or receive them by email and download them to any mobile device.
<h3>App Check-in</h3>
You can download <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://affiliateport.scaletrk.com/click?o=1239&a=6695" target="_blank">the Lufthansa app</a> to your phone. The app is free, easy to use and available in English. The check-in option is one of the main buttons on the home screen. After selecting the "Check-in" option, you will be redirected to the passenger identification selection. The options are the same as on the airline's website. If you select a specific travel class, you have the option to purchase luggage or change your seat on the plane.
This is a great way to check-in for those who frequently travel with Lufthansa and don't have baggage to be checked in. The app is also worth having for other reasons. In case of any changes, delays or connecting flights, you will receive information about these in the app.
<h3>Check-in at the airport</h3>
