Who Cannot Use Lufthansa Web Check-In? (And What to Do Instead)
In India most of the travellers, Lufthansa Web Check-In is a game-changer. It lets you check in from your phone before you go to busy airports like Delhi's IGI or Mumbai's CSMIA. But some passengers should skip it and go to the Lufthansa counter for safety and compliance. Here's who and why:
- Unaccompanied minors (under 12 years old without a guardian): Lufthansa needs to check in person to make sure they're safe. This means more documentation and help from staff at check-in.
- Passengers needing special assistance or medical support: Wheelchair users, those with mobility aids, or anyone with health needs get personalized help at the Lufthansa desk, including priority boarding coordination.
- Passengers with pets, heavy, or oversized luggage: Live animals or items over 32kg need Lufthansa staff inspection; avoid surprises by checking in at the counter.
- Group bookings or complicated travel plans: Large families, travels to many cities, or codeshares typically need Lufthansa verification to make sure that papers match and there are no delays.
If you're in one of these groups, don't worry. Just get to the airport 3–4 hours early for Lufthansa's special counters. This makes sure that everything goes smoothly and that you have all the help you need, so your trip to India is stress-free.
