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.

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.

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.

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.

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

1 check in bag of 23 kg is free allowance on economy class flights. 1 cabin bag of 8 kg is also allowed free.

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.

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.

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.

This will depend on the nature of the frame. If it is deemed to be dangerous or hazardous, then it would not be allowed. If this is fragile but not dangerous for other passengers, it might be allowed in cabin provided size and weight limits are observed.

You have put this question in Lufthansa airline page. Only Air India and Jet Airways have student offers w.r.t baggage allowances. Air India allows you to carry 1 additional baggage of 23 kg each above what you are normally allowed to carry with the condition that the interior points of USA are touch via New York and Chicago only.
