Lufthansa Baggage Allowance

Lufthansa baggage policy varies depending on the travel class:

• Economy: hand luggage item + 1 bag up to 23 kg
• Business: hand luggage item + 2 bags up to 32 kg each
• First Class: hand luggage item + 3 bags up to 32 kg each

Keep in mind that the maximum size per piece of baggage (width + height + depth), regardless of class, is 62 inches (158 cm). Items of baggage that are larger or heavier than the permitted dimensions and weight or that are additional to the free baggage allowance will be carried as excess baggage for a flat fee.

Yes, a backpack can be considered a small bag or personal item on Lufthansa flights, as long as it fits within the allowed dimensions for carry-on luggage. Typically, passengers can bring one carry-on bag and one personal item (such as a backpack or handbag) onboard.

Lufthansa extra baggage price varies depending on the route. You will incur flat-rate charges for excess baggage if your checked bags meets the allowed number of items but exceeds the permitted weight and/or dimensions, or if you exceed the number of checked bags allowed.

As an Economy Class passenger on certain routes, you may take advantage of discounted flat rates for a second checked bag (maximum dimensions up to 23 kg and up to 158 cm).

If you are flying with another airline, please reach out to that airline directly for details on their excess baggage fees. For more information, you can use Lufthansa's baggage calculator.

Yes, a handbag counts as hand luggage. Passengers are typically allowed to bring one carry-on bag (within the carry on baggage size limit) and one personal item, which can be a handbag. The combined dimensions of these items should adhere to Lufthansa's carry-on baggage policy.
