description: Lufthansa Open API portal exposes two access plans — Open Data and Fares — both gated behind
  developer registration and OAuth2. Open Data is publicly registerable; the Fares plan requires partner
  enablement following the Fares_Availability instructions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; commercial
  terms apply through the NDC Partner Program for fares/offer flows.

  surfaces in the developer portal.
