When registering, it is necessary to enter the taxpayer identification/registration/registration number (INN/UNN/RNN) or individual tax code (INK). For registration in Ukraine the corresponding number in the Unified state Register of enterprises and organizations of Ukraine is used. Branches and representative offices of foreign companies (Branches and representative offices) permanently located on the territory of the Russian Federation, registered in the state Register of the state registration chamber under the Ministry of justice of the Russian Federation, and in the above countries - in the relevant state Register of enterprises and organizations. All parties eligible to participate in the program are hereinafter referred to as "Participants".

The following parties are not eligible to participate in the Lufthansa PartnerPlusBenefit corporate bonus programme:

Eligible parties may only participate in the programme after full registration for participation on the Lufthansa PartnerPlusBenefit website (www.partnerplusbenefit.de). The registering company, represented by the authorized contact person, declares that all information provided during the registration process (company name, contact name, trade register number (if available) street and number as well as postal code and town) are true and complete. The respective person signing up on behalf of the company furthermore declares that she or he is entitled and authorized to sign and represent above mentioned company in context of this programme. By registering the company for the PartnerPlusBenefit programme, the contact person confirms that the Terms and Conditions applicable to the PartnerPlusBenefit Programme have been read, understood and accepted.

The company moreover confirms that the binding criteria for participation mentioned under the Terms and Conditions point 2.1. are met and that the company is among those, eligible to participate in the programme. In case the company does not meet the required criteria, an appropriate legal basis for pursuing the registration process and to conclude a contract with the PartnerPlusBenefit programme is not given. With its registration, above mentioned company declares as legally binding that neither the company itself nor one of its affiliated companies (especially a majority shareholder company) are already participating in other corporate promotion programmes or incentive models offered by Lufthansa German Airlines in the respective market. Furthermore, above mentioned company declares as legally binding that the nominated payment card for point crediting and for debits of taxes and fees for award flights is subject to Lufhansa German Airlines’ unrestricted right of disposal and free from rights of third parties. At all times, the company has to ensure that fraud of any kind is conscientiously prevented. For the purpose of preventing such fraud, the company guarantees that no unauthorized third party has access to the company’s Benefit account (respectively unauthorized access to user name, password and PIN).

Lufthansa German Airlines explicitly reserves the right to verify all necessary information provided by the company. The positive result of the verification of above required criteria represents a mandatory precondition regarding the effective conclusion of the contract to participate in the PartnerPlusBenefit programme. Even if the company meets all necessary requirements, the final approval by Lufthansa German Airlines is to be considered as the mandatory and decisive prerequisite for the contract. There is no legal entitlement to participate in the programme. After registering via the Internet, a BenefitPoint account will be set up for the Member; the BenefitPoints collected by all the Member's employees will be credited to this account. The registration date will automatically be set to the first of the current month. After successful registration, the Member will receive an e-mail confirming registration and an initial password for log-in to the BenefitPoint account.

The contract concerning participation in the PartnerPlusBenefit corporate bonus programme will come into effect once the party is successfully registered, the provided registration details regarding information on the company as well as on the contact person have been verified and approved by Lufthansa German Airlines and the company has successfully logged-in into the BenefitPoint account on www.partnerplusbenefit.de for the first time. Once all these requirements are fulfilled the party can start to collect BenefitPoints.

At registration for the programme, the Member will be sent a password for personal identification (e.g. in order to request awards and to view the online account balance). For additional security when booking awards, the Member must also set up a personal PIN on www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com. To prevent abuse, the Member must ensure that the password and PIN remain unknown to unauthorized third parties. If abuse is suspected, the PartnerPlusBenefit Service Center (see Section 7) must be notified immediately. If notification is culpably omitted or delayed, Lufthansa's liability for losses incurred until such notification is received shall be limited to cases of wilful intent and gross negligence. In cases of slight negligence, liability for loss of life, injury to limb or health shall be unlimited. In the event of slightly negligent breach of material contractual duties, liability shall be limited to property and financial losses typically attributable to such negligence in the amount of the foreseeable, typically occurring losses. Material duties shall be defined as such duties that must be complied with in the first place in order to permit correct performance of the contract, breach of which being detrimental to achievement of the contractual purpose, and compliance with which the Member being generally able to rely on. All further liability for damages shall be excluded, except for claims based on product liability law. The same shall also be applicable with regard to liability of vicarious agents, taking into account the Member's possible contributory negligence.

In order to end participation in the Lufthansa PartnerPlusBenefit corporate bonus programme, the Member must log in into the BenefitPoints account on www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com with their password and then deregister from further participation via the "Resign” button on the T&C page of the programme. Participation in the PartnerPlusBenefit corporate bonus programme can only be cancelled with effect as at the end of the month. If Membership is cancelled in the course of a month, the date of deregistration ("deregistration date") will automatically be set at the last day of the current month.

If Membership is cancelled, the Member will be entitled to redeem hitherto collected BenefitPoints for up to six months subsequent to the deregistration date. For this purpose, deregistered Members will continue to be granted access to their BenefitPoints accounts during the relevant period. Subsequent to expiration of the six-month period all BenefitPoints not yet redeemed will lapse. Furthermore, the username will no longer be able to be used for new registration with Lufthansa PartnerPlusBenefit.

Participation in PartnerPlusBenefit may generally continue for an indefinite term - subject to the conditions stipulated in Section 5, notably, termination by Lufthansa of the programme as specified in Section 5.3. If a Member has still not logged in into the BenefitPoints account on www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com 12 months after registration with PartnerPlusBenefit and receipt of their password, Lufthansa will be entitled to cancel the Member's participation in PartnerPlusBenefit after informing the Member accordingly by e-mail at the address specified by the Member at registration. Participation will not be cancelled by Lufthansa if, within four weeks of receiving the aforementioned notification from Lufthansa, the Member logs in into their BenefitPoint account under www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com.

The BenefitPoints is the calculation unit in the PartnerPlusBenefit programme. Acquisition (also called "collection") and redemption will be determined in accordance with the following provisions:

BenefitPoints can only be collected after the Member has logged in under www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com with the password provided subsequent to registration into their BenefitPoints account. Points for United Airlines cannot be incentivized if tickets are purchased in Belarus, as well as the redemption for United Airlines free flights, upgrades, lounge access is not possible for Belarus.
Points for Air Canada and United Airlines flights can’t be incentivized if tickets are purchased in Russia.

Each member can collect up to a maximum of 1.000.000 new BenefitPoints per calendar year. The flight date is the determining factor for the allocation of a flight to a calender year All BenefitPoints exceeding the maximum amount of 1.000.000 BenefitPoints will not be credited to the BenefitPoints account. Already collected BenefitPoints expire after 36 months (see section 3.5) .

A Member or their permanent employees will generally only be able to acquire BenefitPoints if the flight in each case is for business purposes. This means that the Member or their permanent employees will only be able to collect BenefitPoints if the flight in each case is taken by the following parties:

Flights taken by third parties, especially individuals who are not permanent employees of the Member, do not qualify for acquisition of BenefitPoints.

BenefitPoints can be collected solely for flights for which tickets have been purchased in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russian Federation, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. A ticket is deemed to have been purchased in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russian Federation, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Ukraine or on the Internet via www.lufthansa.com.

On Eurowings and Germanwings flights BenefitPoints can be collected if the ticket is booked via a central reservation system (e.g. via travel agency, Lufthansa Service Center or Ticket Counter) and issued on a Lufthansa-Group document (220, 257, 082, 724 ticket stock) or Air Canada document (014 ticket stock) or United Airlines document (016 ticket stock). And all flights booked and issued via eurowings.com if the PartnerPlusBenefit contract number will be entered during the booking process. Due to technical reasons all other tickets which are booked and issued in a different way cannot be incentivised. The BenefitPoints will be credited to the BenefitPoints account for each flight segment actually travelled on a fully-paid regular flight, subject to the arrangements under Section 3.2.5 (low-cost booking classes and special rates and terms). A flight segment is deemed to have been travelled if the Member has actually been carried from their point of departure to their destination.

In addition to Lufthansa, including LH Air Rail и LH Bus services, the following airlines currently participate in the PartnerPlusBenefit corporate bonus programme: Austrian Airlines Group, Air Canada, Air Dolomiti, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Swiss International Air Lines, United Airlines, and the members of Lufthansa Regional on selected routes. The current PartnerPlusBenefit partner airlines are retrievable under “Programme/Get to know the Benefit partner” on www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com.

The number of BenefitPoints accrued per route depends, notably, on the booking class in each case and is stated by Lufthansa and the PartnerPlusBenefit partner airlines. The respective number of BenefitPoints that can be accrued per route and booking class is determined by the BenefitPoints collection overview applicable at the time of flight date, retrievable on www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com under "BenefitPoints" account/Earn Points ("BenefitPoints Collection Overview").

BenefitPoints can currently be collected in the following booking classes:

* If you book a ‘Business Upgrade Europe’ with SWISS (Upgrade to booking class J in Business Class), the reference booking class for collecting BenefitPoints is the original Economy Class.

Other BenefitPoints collection options and their conditions will be published separately in PartnerPlusBenefit communications. Special limited-term offers do not create any continuation entitlement against Lufthansa.

BenefitPoints cannot be collected in the following low-cost booking classes and on the following routes:

In addition to the above-mentioned booking classes, collection of BenefitPoints is also ruled out for flights at industry discount rates (ID, IP, AD, GE, UD, DG, PEPs etc.), as well as for certain special and group rates, award services, "Check & Go" fares from Brussels Airlines, child and youth fares, free flights, upgrades and services for which Members receive benefits from other Lufthansa promotional programmes or incentive models like for example, PartnerPlus Progress.

BenefitPoints are automatically credited to the BenefitPoints account if credit cards numbers which have been initially stored for the capture of flights in PartnerPlusBenefit are used to pay for flights (in accordance with Section 3.2.3). Credit-/payment card numbers are stored and used exclusively for the purpose of capturing flights to credit BenefitPoints.

Lufthansa will credit 400 BenefitPoints to the Member's BenefitPoints account when credit card data registred in PartnerPlusBenefit for the first time. There will be no further bonus for subsequent credit card entries.

If these are company credit cards, PartnerPlusBenefit offers the option of an automated monthly credit card update. With this function, the current list of company credit cards for all employees can be uploaded to PartnerPlusBenefit automatically every month, so that updates of company credit card numbers no longer need to be entered manually. This automatic credit card update can be requested on www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com under “BenefitPoints account/Credit card/Company credit cards” for the credit card companies listed there.

During credit card update, the current credit card supply supersedes the previous month's supply. If individual credit cards are to be excluded from the credit card update, the Member will notify the PartnerPlusBenefit Service Center (see Section 7). The automatic credit card update function may not be available if the Member has several BenefitPoints accounts or if the company credit cards are still part of the credit card structure in PartnerPlus Progress. In such cases, the Member will notify the PartnerPlusBenefit Service Center (see Section 7).

Ticket data will be supplied in addition to the credit card numbers, eliminating separate manual entry normally required for tickets issued by airlines not participating in PartnerPlusBenefit (flight documents of third-party airlines including a flight segment that is eligible for BenefitPoints collection).

The Member must enter all private credit card details once in the PartnerPlusBenefit programme under "BenefitPoints account/Credit card/Credit card entry"; they must also be updated there if credit card numbers change. If individual credit card numbers are no longer used to capture flights within the framework of PartnerPlusBenefit, the credit card numbers concerned can only be deleted from PartnerPlusBenefit at month-end. If a credit card number is deleted from PartnerPlusBenefit in the course of a month, all BenefitPoints for flights booked via this credit card and actually flown will be credited to the BenefitPoints account up to the last day of that month.

Relating to both company and private credit cards, the credit card number can be entered in the PartnerPlusBenefit programme for up to a maximum of 12 months subsequent to the date of flight occurrence. The number of BenefitPoints per route will be in accordance with the BenefitPoints Collection Overview (see Section 3.2.3) applicable at the time of flying the route, in each case. BenefitPoints will generally be credited to the Member's account approx. 10-12 weeks subsequent to the date of flight occurrence, provided the credit card details have been stored in PartnerPlusBenefit. If the ticket in question was issued by a non-PartnerPlusBenefit partner airline, the PartnerPlusBenefit partner airline coupon contained in the ticket must be entered under the heading "BenefitPoints account/Flight tickets/Ticket number entry". The precondition for points collection is that the flight date is not earlier then 2 months than the date of PartnerPlusBenefit registration.

If no credit card details have been stored in PartnerPlusBenefit, for capture of flight details the ticket numbers must be entered manually into the BenefitPoints account under the heading "BenefitPoints account/Tickets /Ticket number entry". They can be entered by the Member at any time over a period of 12 months as of the date of flight occurrence simply by entering the ticket number(s) under "Ticket number entry". The number of BenefitPoints per route in each case will be in accordance with the BenefitPoints Collection Overview applicable at the time of flying the route concerned (see Section 3.2.3). BenefitPoints will generally be credited to the BenefitPoints account approx. 10-12 weeks after the date of manual capture on the programme page. The precondition for crediting BenefitPoints is that the flight date in each case is subsequent to the date of registration in PartnerPlusBenefit.

After successful login on www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com, online bookings initiated via www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com are automatically captured in the BenefitAccount.The number of BenefitPoints will be credited automatically in accordance to section 3.2.3. approx. 10-12 weeks after the date of flight. The successful capture of the online booking will be visible in the booking confirmation

Eligible tickets issued via a travel agency can also be captured by means of entering a Company ID in the Passenger Name Record. The company ID has to be requested online under "BenefitPoint Account/Company ID" and will be issued within a few working days after submitting the request from the Account in the PartnerPlusBenefit website. Company ID tracking is currently only available for capturing tickets flown on Air Canada, Air Dolomiti, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa, Swiss International Air Lines and United Airlines. The number of BenefitPoints will be credited automatically in accordance to section 3.2.3 approx. 10-12 weeks after the date of flight.

Credited BenefitPoints will be shown on the Member's BenefitPoints account. Lufthansa will inform the Member by e-mail of points crediting. Complaints about the current points account must be filed within five weeks after receipt of such e-mail. Subsequent to expiration of this time-limit, the balance of account will be deemed accepted by the Member. Attention will be specifically drawn to this in the e-mail notifying about the BenefitPoints account.

The current BenefitPoints balance is retrievable on the programme's website under www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com by means of the personal username and password. If the BenefitPoints balance is not retrieved, the Member will be reminded three months later by e-mail.

BenefitPoints can generally be redeemed in return for awards provided the BenefitPoints account shows a corresponding balance in accordance with the following provisions.

The availability of awards may vary depending on the date, season and destination. Individual awards may not be available at certain times. The awards offered at a given time and any special applicable provisions will be posted in the applicable awards list, retrievable on www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com under “Redeem your BenefitPoints”. Awards cannot be combined with certain services at reduced rates (in accordance with Section 3.2.5).

The Member will be free to have awards issued for itself or at its discretion for any of its permanent employees. Lufthansa also permits Members to redeem BenefitPoints at certain, obligatorily selected PartnerPlusBenefit partner airlines and partner companies. Lufthansa will have no direct influence on such companies. Lufthansa will therefore not be responsible for the unrestricted availability of services, such as flights, and proper performance of the contract insofar as BenefitPoints are redeemed with partner companies. The general terms and conditions of business of the respective partner companies will be applicable.

Awards obtained in exchange for BenefitPoints must be used exclusively for business purposes. This means that a Member may only redeem BenefitPoints in return for awards if the award in question is used by the following:

BenefitPoints can also be used for free flights with Lufthansa and the PartnerPlusBenefit partner airlines specified under www.partnerplusbenefit.com under “Redeem your BenefitPoints” on European and intercontinental routes, if available ("BenefitFreeFlights"). Separate BenefitPoints must be expended for each flight segment: A free return flight will require twice the number of points.

The booking classes listed in the table will only be available for certain selected routes and at certain times. If the specified booking classes are not available for certain flight connections, acquisition of BenefitFreeFlights for these connections will be ruled out.

Condition: the booking enquiry is made during PartnerPlusBenefit Service Center opening hours (see section 7.). In case of cancellation/rebooking, the availability of the original flight and the original booking class can’t be guaranteed anymore. Benefit Points for the cancelled Benefit Upgrade which have already been deducted will be re-credited to the member's Benefit Point account when contacting the PartnerPlusBenefit Service Center. The original expiry date as specified in Section 3.5 will be retained for the re-credited Benefit Points. Benefit Points cannot be re-credited if a Benefit Upgrade is not cancelled within the specified time-limit.

Upgrades can only be issued for Economy Class and Business Class tickets booked in booking classes which are entitled for Benefit Awards. An overview of booking classes that qualify for upgrades as well as routings which are excluded from upgrades per airline is provided at:
www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com -> Redeem your BenefitPoints -> BenefitUpgrades -> Booking class overview. Each upgrade only applies for one flight route: twice the number of BenefitPoints will be needed to upgrade a return flight. The original ticket must have been issued before booking the BenefitUpgrade; all the flight segments must have been confirmed. The required BenefitPoints will be deducted at the time of booking the upgrade.

Flights upgraded to Premium Economy Class, Business Class and First Class with a BenefitUpgrade are governed by the conditions for Premium Economy Class, Business Class and First Class flights (e.g. minimum duration of stay, baggage regulations, check-in times, use of the lounge, etc.).

BenefitPoints can also be used to book a BenefitSeatReservation in Economy and Premium Economy Class on all flights operated by Lufthansa with Lufthansa flight number and Austrian Airlines with Austrian Airlines flight number, Swiss flights operated with Swiss flight number and Brussels Airlines flights operated with Brussels Airlines flight number - dependent on the chosen fare / the chosen booking.

BenefitSeatreservations can be made for standard seats (e.g. window or aisle seat) or for seats with more legroom. Please note that a confirmed seat reservation does not give you a legal claim to a certain seat, but only shows the selected category, e.g. aisle or window seat or seat with more legroom.

Seats with more legroom are distinguished by offering at least 10 cm (4") extra legroom. A number of these seats are located in the emergency exit rows for which apply special conditions:

• You are at least 16 years old.
• You are in a position to perform the required duties without the assistance of a flight attendant, parent or other relative.
• You are willing to assist in the unlikely event of an emergency.

• You speak good German or English.
• You are not travelling with a pet in the cabin.

For safety reasons, Airline Partners are entitled to allocate another seat before departure to passengers who cannot satisfy these requirements.

If you have redeemed BenefitPoints for the seat reservation on the flight that you wish to change, please contact the PartnerPlusBenefit Service Center to try to book you an equivalent seat on your new flight. Please note that BenefitPoints already redeemed for seat reservations cannot be refunded if there are no seats or no equivalent seats available for reservation on the changed flight.

Should you wish to cancel your journey, contact the PartnerPlusBenefit Service Center to refund the redeemed BenefitPoints according to the standard terms and conditions where applicable.

Seat reservations that have already been paid with BenefitPoints for are refundable in the following cases:

• A schedule change by Airline Partner, e.g. a change to the aircraft type deployed, means that no equivalent seat can be made available to you on the new flight.
• A disruption to your flight means that you must be rebooked on another flight on which no equivalent seat is available for you.

BenefitPoints which have already been deducted will be re-credited to the Member's BenefitPoint account. The original expiry date as specified in Section 3.5 will be restored for the re-credited BenefitPoints.

Paid-for seat reservations cannot be refunded if:

• You cancel your flight and your ticket is non-refundable.
• You receive an upgrade from Airline Partner for operational reasons or as a gesture of goodwill.
• You change your seat, but the new seat is cheaper than the one you originally booked or is free of charge.
• You do not meet the above-listed conditions for a seat in an emergency exit row.
• You rebook your flight, but there are no longer equivalent seats available on the new flight, seat reservations on the new flight are free of charge or this flight is not operated by Airline Partner.
• You change your flight and in the process change the routing.

Awards can be requested at the Lufthansa PartnerPlusBenefit Service Center (see Section 7) by the Member or on their behalf, stating with their username and PIN.

Provided that the requested award is available, the request will be confirmed both in the Member BenefitPoints account mailbox on www.PartnerPlusBenefit.com and by e-mail. In their own interests, Members should immediately check that the content of the confirmation matches their request. The printout of the e-mail serves as confirmation of the booking and should – where applicable – be presented when redeeming the award (e.g. when departing on a Benefit free flight). The required BenefitPoints will be deducted when the confirmation is sent.

Award flight documents will remain valid for 12 months from the date of issue. The validity period of other award documents is specified in the respective PartnerPlusBenefit communications. Issued award documents cannot be transferred to third parties.

The date and number of BenefitPoints which are about to expire in the following three months will be shown separately in the Member's statement of account, which can be retrieved on the programme’s Internet pages. Members will be responsible for informing themselves about the date and the number of points in the BenefitPoints account about to expire in future. In addition, Lufthansa will inform the Member voluntarily via e-mail with regard to impending lapse of BenefitPoints and the number of BenefitPoints about to expire in the following three months.

Bonus points and credits from programmes other than PartnerPlusBenefit cannot be converted into BenefitPoints or combined with these. The BenefitPoints account and the BenefitPoints balance are not transferable to third parties. If the Member as defined under Section 2.1 is already a Member in the PartnerPlusBenefit bonus programme, PartnerPlusBenefit or Swiss PartnerPlusBenefit outside Russia ("foreign programme"), the Member cannot demand that the points collected in, or credited to, the foreign programme will be transferred to the Russian PartnerPlusBenefit bonus programme. Lufthansa may, however, approve such transfer at the Member's request. In the event of transfer of a credit balance from a foreign programme to the Russia PartnerPlusBenefit points overviews in the Russian PartnerPlusBenefit programme.

Anyone who registers with PartnerPlusBenefit and/or acquires BenefitPoints and/or uses these although ineligible for participation (see Section 2.2), shall be deemed guilty of abuse. The same shall also apply to anyone who uses BenefitPoints which have been credited to the BenefitPoints account although not acquired in accordance with the provisions pursuant to Section 3 of the present Terms. If awards are requested by individuals other than those with entitlement in accordance with Section 3.4.9 and/or if the awards are not used for the Member's commercial purposes (relating to eligible parties as determined under Section 2.1.1), for professional purposes (relating to eligible parties as determined under Section 2.1.2) or for fulfilment of the object (relating to eligible parties as determined under Section 2.1.3) (cf. Section 3.4.2), this shall also constitute abuse. The sale or redemption of awards, offering of awards for auction or passing on awards to third parties in any other way is prohibited, unless such passing on has been expressly permitted under Section 3.4.1. Equally, arranging the purchase or sale of BenefitPoints or awards, as well as availment of awards or award documents without authorization is prohibited. All the cases mentioned in this paragraph will hereinafter be referred to as "abuse".

In the event of abuse for which the Member is responsible, Lufthansa or third parties authorized by Lufthansa will, on the one hand, reserve the right to freeze or reclaim awards or to refuse to issue or redeem awards ,and, on the other, to deduct the unlawfully collected BenefitPoints from the BenefitPoints account. Section 5 will remain unaffected. Similarly, the right to assert further claims against the Member, including claims for damages, shall remain unaffected.

In respect of the awards "Benefit free flight" and "BenefitExcessBaggage", damages shall be equal to at least a sum in the amount of the rate or fare published for the route used (IATA Published Fare, Lufthansa rate for BenefitExcessBaggage), the sum disbursed being reclaimed in the case of BenefitPoints which have already been disbursed as equivalent value in euros. The Member reserves the right to prove that smaller losses or no losses have actually been incurred.

The Member may terminate the contractual relationship at any time effective at month-end (last day of current month) in accordance with Section 2.5, without observing any period of notice. The right to terminate the relationship without notice for good cause shall remain unaffected. Termination by Lufthansa shall only be possible on two weeks' notice effective at month-end (last day of current month), unless termination is without notice for good cause. Lufthansa may terminate membership without notice and may exclude Members from participation in the programme for good cause with future effect.

Good cause shall be shown to exist, in particular, if the Member has acted in serious breach of the present Terms of Participation, of Lufthansa's or a PartnerPlusBenefit partner company's General Terms of Carriage, or of any other PartnerPlusBenefit regulations specified in the programme documents or PartnerPlusBenefit communications. The same shall also apply in cases of abuse pursuant to Section 4, as well as in the event of significant misrepresentations and harassment or harmful conduct towards employees or passengers of Lufthansa or a partner company. The same shall also apply in the event of non-compliance with instructions by personnel, especially on board and in lounges.
