| Route | Freq/wk | Hours | Cluster | Market low |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bangkok (BKK) → Frankfurt (FRA) | 21× | 11.8 | C | ฿22,613 |
| Bangkok (BKK) → Munich (MUC) | 7× | 12.0 | C | ฿24,528 |
The market-low column is the cheapest fare in our Travelpayouts cache on that corridor across all carriers, not a Lufthansa-only price — use it as a floor when comparing.
The frequency shown belongs to the corridor, not to this airline alone. The 28 weekly departures above sum the frequency of the routes Lufthansa serves, and that count includes every other carrier on the same city pairs. To know how many rotations this airline actually operates on your dates, read its own schedule. We do not publish figures we have not captured.
A network across many countries means many rulebooks. Lufthansa’s corridors in our catalogue touch 1 country: Germany. Each has its own regulator, so passenger rights attach not only to the airline but to the country the flight departs from. Two flights on the same airline can carry completely different entitlements.

What Star Alliance membership buys, and what it does not. It buys through-checked baggage on a single ticket, cross-carrier mileage earning and redemption, status-based lounge access, and a realistic chance of being moved onto a partner’s flight when yours is cancelled. It does not buy compensation rights. Those come only from the law of the jurisdiction involved, and no alliance extends them.
That 7/10 is our own score. Brand strength is an editorial assessment by our team for the Thai market, used to decide how deeply we cover a carrier. It is not a safety rating, not a punctuality rating and not a service score from any independent body. We say so here so you can weigh the number correctly.
Lufthansa network & booking
Lufthansa’s network in our catalogue covers 2 corridors, based at Frankfurt (FRA) and Munich (MUC). Cached fares across them run from ฿23,066 (BKK–FRA) to ฿25,374 (BKK–MUC). Those corridors reach 2 destinations in 1 country. Our own Thai-market brand-strength score for it is 7/10.
In this catalogue Lufthansa’s network reaches 2 destinations across 1 country — Germany. Most corridors serve Thai diaspora / VFR travellers. All fares are shown in Thai baht (THB); compare live prices and schedules for each city pair on the route pages, and infant fares run about 10% of the adult fare. The lowest fare in our cache across this network is about ฿22,613 on BKK-FRA — prices move with season, so check live fares before booking.
The low-fare column is not this airline’s fare. Each value is the cheapest fare our cache recorded on that corridor across every carrier serving it, not attributed to Lufthansa. On a multi-carrier route the low may well belong to a competitor. Read it as a corridor reference line, not as this airline’s price.
Passenger rights & compensation
Lufthansa appears on 2 corridors in our catalogue. Lufthansa is registered in Germany, inside the EU/EEA. That means its flights fall under EU261 (Regulation 261/2004) both when departing an EU airport and when flying into the EU from outside — a rights advantage non-EU carriers on the same corridors do not have.
Lufthansa is registered in the EU/EEA, so EU261 (Regulation 261/2004) reaches its flights out of any EU/EEA airport and — because of the carrier-nationality limb — its flights into the EU/EEA from outside as well. A 3+ hour delay or a cancellation (<14 days notice, extraordinary circumstances aside) qualifies for distance-based cash compensation:
| Flight distance | Compensation |
|---|---|
| < 1,500 km | €250 |
| 1,500–3,500 km | €400 |
| > 3,500 km (Thailand–Europe) | €600 |
Thailand–Europe routes sit in the >3,500 km band, so a qualifying claim is worth €600. Claim direct with the airline or via AirHelp (no-win-no-fee).
Collect evidence from day one. Whichever frame applies, the burden of proof sits with the passenger. Keep every boarding pass, the airline’s own delay notice or message, receipts for food and accommodation while you waited, and the actual arrival time against the scheduled one. Most rejected claims fail not because there was no right but because nothing documented what actually happened when.
How Lufthansa fits travellers
Lufthansa appears on 2 corridors in our catalogue. Lufthansa’s corridors in our catalogue distribute across passenger clusters as: Thai diaspora / VFR (2), with 2 flagged as labour/migrant corridors. The split is computed from our own route data, not from the airline’s marketing.
Lufthansa’s catalogued routes matter most to the Thai diaspora / VFR segment(s). Its Frankfurt (FRA), Munich (MUC) hub(s) are the main transit points. Compare schedules, baggage and fares against other carriers on the route pages before booking.
Sector length changes what is worth paying for. Of the 2 Lufthansa corridors where we record a block time, 0 run under four hours and 2 run seven hours or more. Short sectors turn on departure time and baggage; long ones turn on the seat, the catering and what happens if the flight is cancelled. A seat fee that is poor value across two hours is usually sound value across ten.
2 labour corridors in this network. The flag in our data marks routes where a significant share of passengers travel to work abroad. In practice baggage matters more than seat price there, and the extra-weight policies some carriers apply on such routes are route-and-fare conditions rather than universal entitlements. Always get it confirmed in writing at ticketing.

Lufthansa in our fare record
Across 15 weekly fare captures on corridors Lufthansa serves, the code LH appears as the carrier holding the low 0 times — 0%. Those corridors reach 2 destinations in 1 country. Our own Thai-market brand-strength score for it is 7/10.
What this measures, and what it does not. We capture each corridor’s lowest fare once a week and record which carrier code that value was attached to. The 0% figure therefore says how often this airline surfaced as the cheapest option in the window we observed. It does not say whether the airline is expensive or cheap on average, and it says nothing about what the others charged that week. A low share is not evidence of a high price.
Why a weekly cadence misses promotions. We capture once a week per corridor, so a promotion that opens and closes inside a few days can go unrecorded entirely. That means this series systematically under-counts how often exceptional lows occur. Read it as a picture of price level, not as a deal-catching instrument.
FAQ
How many routes does Lufthansa fly in the SiamFlights catalogue?
Lufthansa (LH) serves 2 routes relevant to travellers from Thailand in our catalogue.
What is Lufthansa’s checked-baggage allowance?
A 23 kg baseline. Always confirm on the official site before travel.
Can I claim delay compensation from Lufthansa?
Yes. Lufthansa falls under EU261 on flights departing an EU/EEA airport and on flights into the EU/EEA that it operates itself; a qualifying 3+ hour delay or cancellation on a Thailand–Europe sector is claimable at €600 — direct or via AirHelp.
What alliance is Lufthansa in?
Lufthansa is a member of Star Alliance.
Is a Lufthansa flight from Bangkok covered by the 261 rules?
Yes. Lufthansa is registered in EU/EEA, and the 261 rules cover flights departing that zone whatever the carrier plus flights arriving into it from outside when the operating carrier is registered there. Non-EU/EEA carriers on the same corridor fail that second limb.
Does the Lufthansa infant fare include a seat?
No. The roughly 10% rate applies to a lap infant with no seat of its own. A separate seat makes it a child fare, priced as a share of the full fare.
Is the low-fare column Lufthansa’s own price?
No. It is the cheapest fare our cache recorded on that corridor across every carrier serving it. On a multi-carrier route the low may belong to a competitor.
