April a hold-back-the flight plan is valid, to get (mainly) Germans living abroad to return home, the emergency operation and now no longer exist. At least until the 3. May, as Lufthansa announced on Thursday in Frankfurt. Reason, the remaining travel restrictions in the Wake of the Corona-crisis.
Lufthansa cancels flights up to 3. May
The result is that All the existing flights to the original flight plan between the 25. April and 3. May be deleted. Flights available up to 24. April were planned, have already been cancelled at an earlier date. Affected passengers will receive in the coming days, a notice from Lufthansa.

What happens to my Lufthansa Ticket?
