Avoid Extra Charges: Lufthansa Baggage Rules Overview

 With travel on Lufthansa, an economy in mind about Lufthansa’s baggage policy ensures hassle- and worry-free travel. For a quick business trip and international holiday for a few weeks, an understanding of how much you can bring along in the cabin is a money-back, time-saving, energy-conserving assurance.

Carry-On Baggage
Lufthansa carry-on baggage policy varies with class of travel:

Economy Class: Economy Class: 1 carry-on bag (max. weight 8 kg)

Premium Economy Class: 1 hand bag (max 8 kg)

Business and First Class: 2 hand bags (each max 8 kg)

These should not exceed 55 x 40 x 23 cm. Additionally, one carry-on item, i.e., handbag, laptop bag, or briefcase, per passenger. Carry-on items to be under the seat in front of you.

Checked Baggage Allowance

Excess and Overweight Baggage

Special Baggage
For sports gear (golf clubs, surfboard, skis) or musical instruments, Lufthansa does have some limitations. Most special items fall within your allowance if they are within size and weight requirements. Or, they can pay extra fees or pre-register.

Baggage for Children and Infants
Lufthansa offers infant non-seat passengers one bag stowed. One baby stroller or car seat is also yours free of charge. Children traveling in their own seats receive the same free baggage allowance as adults in the same fare class.

Lost or Delayed Baggage
In delayed or misplaced bags, Lufthansa airport baggage customer service desks are a blessing. You can even trace your bag online by making use of the Lufthansa baggage tracking facility. Reimbursement for damaged or lost bags is in accordance with international norms.
