Berlin, December 11, 2023 – Lufthansa, one of Europe’s leading airlines, has specific luggage policies in place for travelers on its flights. Passengers are advised to familiarize themselves with these policies to ensure a smooth travel experience.
Carry-On Baggage:
For Economy Class passengers, Lufthansa generally allows one piece of carry-on baggage, such as a handbag or laptop bag, along with one larger cabin bag.

Checked Baggage:
The checked baggage allowance varies based on the passenger’s ticket type, destination, and route. On European flights in Economy Class, checked baggage is often not included, requiring passengers to purchase it separately if needed. On intercontinental and transatlantic flights, Economy Class passengers typically have a weight allowance for checked baggage, usually ranging from 23 kg (50 pounds) to 32 kg (70 pounds), depending on the fare type. Business Class and First Class passengers usually have more generous allowances.
Excess Baggage:
