01Overview
About the Lufthansa affiliate program
Lufthansa is Germany's flag carrier and the largest airline in the Lufthansa Group, which also includes SWISS, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines. From its hubs in Frankfurt and Munich it flies to destinations across Europe and long-haul routes worldwide, and it is a founding member of the Star Alliance.

Flights are high-value purchases with a payout that rises with the fare, so long-haul and premium cabin content earns the most. The 14-day cookie is short for travel, which suits content around specific routes, fare sales and cabin reviews more than general destination inspiration.
Searches for the Lufthansa program jumped from around 40 a month to about 880 by September 2026, the largest rise among travel programs on LinkApprove, so now is an early moment to publish.

Travel
How Lufthansa compares in its category
Travel commissions are validated on completed stay rather than booking, which means longer hold periods, 60 to 90 days is normal. In exchange, the vertical has the longest cookie windows in the directory and very high order values.
