Publishes nothing about carrying a passenger’s own wheelchair. You have to ask them.

Lufthansa CityLine publishes no mobility-aid policy. Its website works and we read it, but it says nothing about carrying a passenger’s own manual or powered wheelchair — no battery rules, no size limits, no notice period. That silence is the finding, and it is why almost every field below is blank. Silence is not permission. Ask them directly, get the answer in writing, and read the international baseline so you know what should apply.

Who to contact

Transcribed from the airline’s own pages, exactly as it labels them.

  • Phone
    Germany — Lufthansa CityLine GmbH corporate switchboard (not an accessibility line)
  • Email
    Lufthansa CityLine GmbH general enquiries (corporate, not an accessibility desk) — dlh.de is Deutsche Lufthansa AG's mail domain

Lufthansa CityLine publishes no accessibility or special-assistance contact of its own. The only contacts on its site are the corporate address at Munich Airport (Südallee 15, D-85356 München), the switchboard +49 69 696 0 and lh-cityline@dlh.de. Every passenger-facing function on the site — booking, baggage, service — is a link to lufthansa.com.

Powered wheelchairs & batteries

The part that goes wrong. Battery chemistry and watt-hours decide whether your chair flies, and the rules differ depending on whether the battery can be removed.

Worth knowing

Lufthansa CityLine GmbH is "a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Lufthansa AG" operating hub traffic at Frankfurt and Munich (company page). Its website is corporate only: its own accessibility statement says the site "provides essential information about the company, its fleet, and its corporate responsibility activities" plus jobs — and indeed there is no booking engine, no conditions of carriage, no baggage page, no dangerous-goods page and no special-assistance page. Every passenger function is a link to lufthansa.com ("Book a flight"). Nothing on the CityLine site states that Lufthansa's mobility-aid policy applies to CityLine-operated flights, so no Lufthansa figures have been copied into this record; in practice CityLine flights are sold and handled as Lufthansa (LH) services. Lufthansa Group also runs a separate subsidiary, Lufthansa City Airlines (lufthansa-city.com), which does publish an accessible-travel page and a battery-wheelchair form — see that record. A traveller should establish which carrier actually operates the flight and follow that carrier's/Lufthansa's published rules.
