Carry-On Baggage — What You Need to Know

Lufthansa allows one carry-on bag and one personal item (laptop bag, handbag, or small backpack) for most cabin classes. The standard carry-on dimensions are 55 × 40 × 23 cm with a maximum weight of 8 kg. Basic Economy passengers on certain routes may have restrictions on carry-on bags at the gate. Always verify at check-in as policies can vary by route and aircraft type.

Checked Baggage by Cabin Class

Allowances vary significantly by cabin. Economy (Classic/Flex fares) includes 1 bag × 23 kg; Premium Economy gets 2 bags × 23 kg; Business Class receives 2 bags × 32 kg; and First Class passengers enjoy the most generous allowance of three bags up to 32 kg each. Basic Economy fares on short-haul European routes may not include any free checked bag.

Excess & Overweight Baggage Fees

Pre-purchasing additional baggage online can save 30–50% compared to airport rates. Excess weight (above 23 kg for Economy, above 32 kg for Business/First) attracts fees of EUR 12–80 depending on route and weight tier. Bags exceeding 32 kg may be refused or treated as freight. Always pre-book online via lufthansa.com for the best rates.

Domestic vs International Differences

Lufthansa's domestic (within Germany) baggage rules differ from international long-haul. Short-haul European routes often follow stricter allowances especially for Basic Economy fares, while intercontinental routes to North America, Asia, and Africa tend to be more generous. Always check the specific fare conditions when booking.

Miles & More Member Benefits

If you are a Lufthansa Miles & More Frequent Flyer member, or if you hold Star Alliance Gold status, you may be entitled to additional free checked baggage on most Lufthansa-operated flights. Always check your full benefits before purchasing additional bags.
