I am trying to get some clarification from Lufthansas website what the rules are for connecting passengers and the requirements for antigen/pcr-tests, and the information is a bit ambivalent, as I see it.
First, on the top of the main webpage, there is a small red text that says "current travel information". Opening that you get current flight information and at the end of those different options there is an option called "Transfer via Frankfurt and Munich, simplified rules for passengers"
There the following reads:
Simplified rules now apply for passengers travelling on an international flight to Germany with a connecting flight to a destination outside Germany. If the entry requirements of the destination country are met, a transfer in Germany is now possible. Prerequisites are a confirmed ticket for the onward flight within 24 hours and/or other documentation for the onward journey. Passengers do not require proof of vaccination/immunity, a negative test result nor an online registration.
This means, that if your destination country does not require a negative test, then Lufthansa nor the German authorities want to see one either. As I interpret it, it means any country outside Germany, including countries within Schengen.
Further on their website if you click on "Travelling and Corona" > Entry Requirements you now have the following text:
- Simplified rules now apply for passengers travelling to Germany on an international flight with a connecting flight to a Schengen country. Provided that the entry requirements of the destination country are met, a transfer in Germany (including entering into the Schengen area) is now possible. Prerequisites are a confirmed ticket for the onward flight within 24 hours and/or other documentation for the onward journey. The required proof of a negative Corona test, the vaccination against Covid-19 or the immunity is still required (exception non-Schengen to non-Schengen). This rule does not apply to passengers from virus variant areas.
Here the information says that no proof is required on non-Schenge to Non-Schengen flights.
So, I'm wondering if anyone else has run into ambivalent information and whether or not clarifying information has been given.
