LH Airline Code: Lufthansa IATA & ICAO
Lufthansa is stored in this dataset as IATA code LH and ICAO code DLH, based in Germany. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
LH is the IATA airline designator stored for Lufthansa. ICAO is DLH. Country of record: Germany. On a cryptic GDS line the IATA code sits immediately before the flight number, for example LH 456. Agents should not confuse LH (two characters, sometimes a digit such as 6E) with DLH (three letters). This code page does not list routes, alliances, baggage rules, or fleet. Those facts are not in the dataset. Other Germany carriers stored here: EW (Eurowings). To decode a full itinerary that markets LH, paste the PNR into the parser.
How to use this page
- Find LH at the start of the flight line in the PNR.
- Paste the full itinerary into the PNR parser (or the GDS-specific parser if you know the host).
- Confirm the carrier name resolves to Lufthansa.
- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
Example segment: 2 LH 456 H 26OCT 5 WLGAKL HK1 1945 2050 The parser should set marketing carrier LH (Lufthansa) and flight 456. Class H is a fare bucket, not proof of cabin without the booking-class tool.
