When you hold a ticket, it refers to temporarily reserving it for a price less than the original fare and sometimes for the original fare with no additional cost for holding the ticket for a specific time. 

Like many other airlines, you can use the Lufthansa hold booking feature to hold any particular seat you want and make the right choice at the right time. The Lufthansa seat holding allows you to hold your seat through the website and with the help of the customer support team. 

Lufthansa ticket-holding policy

If you are unsure about your flight, this feature can come in handy for many reasons, like, when you wait for the flight fare to drop or find another flight for a lower price. Another reason could be that you or someone else in the itinerary is not sure whether they can board the flight or not. Use the ‘secure your fare Lufthansa’ option to ensure that the airline holds your seat. But before you hold your ticket, familiarize yourself with the following policies.

• According to the rules, the airline is responsible for holding your seat for 48 hours from when you use the ticket-holding option.
• The airline cannot sell your seat on hold to any other passenger for any price during this period.
• Once you use the holding features, you cannot use voucher or miles points to confirm and book your ticket.
• You can not apply any promotional vouchers or use cash to confirm your booking after using the ticket-holding service.
• If you don’t confirm your ticket within 48 hours, the Lufthansa hold booking feature will collapse, and you will lose your ticket.
• The airline will not deduct the ticket fare for unconfirmed tickets. However, you need to pay a ‘one-off’ fee of 30 Euros (approximately $31.67).
• The ‘one-off’ fee remains the same even if you cancel the holding tickets for a group reservation. 
• You can only hold tickets for the flight that is bound to fly in the next 168 hours from when you select the ticket-holding service. 
• The holding amount is the same as that of the ticket fare.

Now that you know all the policies, you can proceed with the following points to hold your ticket. Ask the Lufthansa customer service executives to assist you if you need help.

• Once you select your flight and move to check-out, select ‘secure your fare’ and tap ‘Reservation with Price Guarantee.’
• Now enter your credit card details, and you are done.
