The free checked in baggage allowance of Lufthansa Airlines is based on booking class and the level of passenger. 1 bag of up to 23 kg, 2 bags of up to 23 kg each, 2 bags of up to 32 kgs each and 3 bags of up to 32 kg each are allowed free of cost on Economy, Premium Economy, Business Class and First Class cabin booking classes.

Free baggage rules are further relaxed for Economy Class passengers traveling on certain routes.

Carry-on Baggage

The carry on luggage allowed free of charge on Lufthansa is directly related to cabin class booked. 1 bag of up to 8 kg for Economy and Premium Economy and 2 bags of 8 kg each for Business and First Class each are allowed as free luggage. However, there is a restriction on maximum dimensions of bags- 55, 40 and 23 cms (l,b,h) for hand luggage and 57, 54 and 15 cms (l,b,h respectively) for foldable garment bags.

A laptop, handbag or any other hand luggage (not more than 30,40,10cms in L, B and H) a baby carrier, child seat or wheelchairs are some of the other items which can be carried in the cabin.

Charges for excess checked-in baggage: If the checked in luggage exceeds the weight, dimensions or numbers that are allowed for free allowance, special charges are levied. These charges depend on whether your ticket was issued before or after 15-07-2013, on your route of travel and class of booking.

For tickets issued after this date,

  • the economy and premium economy class travelers -

    • ( if the bag is larger in dimension but weight within free allowance) will have to pay 100 Euros and 150 USD/CAD for flights within Europe or third countries and, for intercontinental flights, the charge will be 200 Euros and 300 USD/CAD.

    • (if bags are heavier than freely allowed bags) will pay 50 Euros and 70 USD/CAD for flights within Europe or third countries and 100 Euros or 150 USD/CAD for Intercontinental flights.

    • (if bags are both heavy and over-sized) will have to pay 150 Euros and 220 USD/CAD for travel within Europe and third countries, or,  300 Euros or 450 USD/CAD for intercontinental travel.

the business and first class travelers -

    are required to pay only for larger than the free baggage allowance (over-sized). For flights within Europe and between third countries, the charges are 100 Euros and 150 USD/CAD and 200 Euros and 300 USD/CAD for intercontinental flights.

In case there is a requirement to carry an additional baggage, which is more than the freely allowed number of pieces, then the charges are levied for such additional bag as well.

  • economy and premium economy class travelers-

    (if it meets the dimension and weight restrictions normally applied for free allowance) will pay 75 Euro/100 USD/CAD for additional luggage on Europe and between third countries and 150 Euros/ 200 USD/CAD/15000 JPY.

    (if it is only over-sized, but not over-weight) will pay 175 Euro/250USD/CAD for within Europe and third country flights and 350 Euros/500 USD/CAD for intercontinental flights.

    (if luggage is overweight only, but not oversized), 125 Euros/170 USD/CAD for within Europe and between third countries and 250 Euros/ 350 USD/CAD.

    (if luggage is both oversized and overweight), 225 Euros/320 USD/CAD for within Europe and between third countries and 450 Euros/650 USD/CAD.

  • business and first class travelers-

    (if it meets the weight and dimension limitations of the free allowance), charges are same as that of the Economy and Premium Economy Class travelers.

    (if it meets the weight limitations but is over-sized), charges are same as that of the Economy and Premium Economy travelers for this case of baggage.

For the Economy and Premium Economy Class travelers, Lufthansa also offers reduced allowances for certain routes. So, while flying to/from USA, Mexico, Canada and Central America, the intercontinental flight charges are 75 Euro/100 USD/CAD. From/to Japan, the charges for intercontinental flights are 75 Euro/ 100 USD/CAD/9000 JPY.

Hello, I am traveling to Hyderabad via Hanover to Frankfurt ( Lufthansa ), Frankfurt to Muscut (Oman Air ), and Muscut to Hyderabad ( Oman Air). I have allotted 30 kgs of check-in baggage. So, my concern is can I take 1 piece of luggage i.e, (1 piece = 30 kg ) Thank you.

Admin Reply :

On Lufthansa domestic flight, free check in baggage allowance for economy passengers is 1 bag of 23 kg for every adult passenger. Oman airways allows 30 kg free allowance. There is a codeshare agreement between the two carriers which means that there will be a common baggage allowance policy as well. Since your ticket mentions, 30 kg, it canbe presumed to be the check-in baggage allowance. You shall be able to take it in 1 check-in bag.

Hey I am going to travel from delhi to Vancouver.Is small bagpack allowed with cabin bag and Can I carry small camera with me in bagpack ?

Some airlines consider it as another cabin baggage. So, generally, we suggest that backpack shall be avoided. However, you can check with the airline customer support as well.

I understand Bangalore-Dresden Economy allows one 23Kg Check-in baggage. If I want to take additional baggage of 23Kg, how much extra I have to pay? Can I buy/pay this at check-in counter or any advance inline service available?

Admin Reply :

USD 230 or USD 287 is the charge for an additional bag in check-in above the free allowance limits (weight up to 23 kg and linear dimensions up to 158 cm). You are required to book the excess baggage ahead of flight date by contacting the airline. The customer support of the airline will inform whether this can be paid at the airport or not. In general, this can be paid for at the airport check in counters of the airline.

the full itinerary would be lufthansa flight LYS - HKG, via MUC. The segment LYS - MUC is Economy (S), the segment MUC - HKG is Business (I), as from a Miles&More upgrade. The question is which baggage allowance applies for both segments.

Admin Reply :

Baggage allowances of respective cabin classes of travel would apply. Economy allowances for economy class travel and business class allowance for business class upgrades.

Hi, Your answer came in too late. But just for the sake if someone has the same question - your answer is wrong! Zam-zam water can be taken IN ADDITION to the permitted baggage allowance. It has to be sealed and in a particular packaging, which is provided like this at the airport. It has to be checked in seperately, meaning it cannot be within the luggage itself.

Admin Reply :

Thanks for adding this to our information. Even we base our answers on what others have experienced and have told us. This signals that the airline has changed its ZAMZAM water carriage policy because earlier it took it as a part of check in baggage and not in addition to it. Thanks once again.

You can take it within the permitted allowance limit of check in baggage but zam zam water shall be up to 10 litres and in original plastic sealed packing.

Davao-Helsinki. Baggage allowance? 23kg? How much for extra 10kg?

Admin Reply :

Since you intend to bring additional 10 kg, it has to be a separate bag as since check in bag can not be more than 32 kg. So, for 1 additional bag of up to 23 kg, you have to pay Euro 80

Flying from Toronto to Frankfurt Economy with connecting flight to MALTA BY LUFTHANSA. Do we get one checked in luggage for free each and a carry on bag for free as long as we meet the criteria of weight and size?

Admin Reply :

The check in baggage allowance on Lufthansa flights is based on piece system. So, number of pieces matter in primary consideration. Therefore, if you want to take an additional bag keeping the overall weight same, it will not be free as the number of pieces being carried is more than the prescribed limit.

please let me free baggage allowances from chicago-delhi

Admin Reply :

You have not mentioned the cabin class of travel. For economy class travellers, the allowance is 2 bags of 23 kg in check-in and 1 bag of 8 kg in cabin, per adult or child passenger. This is on condition that the flight is via Europe, irrespective of the number of stops. If you are flying any other class or have flight via any other region except Europe, please let us know.

Hi.. I have enquired regarding the baggage details of Lufthansa. I have booked ticket in Economy class and I m travelling to US from chennai. It was mentioned that from your customer care reply mail that I am allowed to take 23kg I.e., 1 checked in and a handlaggage of 8kgs. But when I enquired via phone call to Lufthansa customer care, they have mentioned that 1 can carry 2 checked in bags of 23kgs each for a person and a handlaggae of 8 KGS. I am totally confused. Kindly reply me asap.

Admin Reply :

It is now that you have clearly mentioned the route  of the airline. In your previous query, you had mentioned the flight number and NJ. The flight number was not of US destination, so we mentioned that allowance. 

For all US routes, the economy class ticket would allow 2 bags of 23 kg each. Hand baggage of 8 kg is okay.
