The Lufthansa cancellation fee will vary depending on when the cancellation is made. If a ticket is purchased at least seven days before to travel, the Department of Transportation mandates that airlines permit customers to cancel or amend a ticket without incurring any fees within 24 hours of purchase. Utilizing the Lufthansa cancellation within 24 hours option is the only way to avoid the charge.
