If you are travelling on an Economy Class Light fare, you have the option of booking one item of baggage weighing up to 23 kg per route for a fee. The outbound and return flight each counts as one route, even if a connection is involved. Once paid, the baggage fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.

The fee for a second bag if you are travelling on the Economy Light fare on intercontinental routes to the USA / Canada is EUR 90 / USD 100. This can be booked via the Lufthansa Service Center or at the Lufthansa service counter at the airport.

Free baggage allowances for status customers

On flights operated by Lufthansa, a higher free baggage allowance applies to Frequent Travellers, Senators, HON Circle Members and Star Alliance Gold Members, dependent on travel class and fare class.

Sports Equipment

Sports baggage is carried free of charge as part of your permitted free baggage allowance. Sports baggage must be registered up to 24 hours before departure via the reservation hotline.

In addition to your free baggage allowance, you may take one piece of ski or snowboarding equipment free of charge on your Lufthansa flight. The maximum weight of an additional piece of ski or snowboarding equipment must be within the weight limits of the travel class you have booked. Please note that this rule only applies to flights operated by Lufthansa.

Because of limited capacities and differing rules on partner airlines, Lufthansa cannot guarantee when you book that your ski baggage will be accepted in every case. Please register your ski bag up to 24 hours before departure via the reservation hotline, regardless of whether your ski bag is within your free baggage allowance or is being checked in as excess baggage.
Baggage items over 32 kg

Baggage items weighing more than 32 kg will not be accepted as travel baggage. They can be sent as air cargo.
