Lufthansa Simplifies Free Baggage Allowance Policy

May 30, 2011 on 4:30 am | In Airlines, Germany | Comments Off


Lufthansa BannerLufthansa is simplifying its free baggage allowance policy and adopting the piece concept on all its flights.

The new rules apply to all tickets purchased on or after June 1. This concept has been successfully implemented a while ago on many of the airline’s long-haul flights, particularly on North Atlantic routes.

In future, passengers especially on intra-European flights and on long-haul flights to Asia, the Middle East and some countries in Africa and South America will have a higher free baggage allowance. For tickets booked before June 1, however, the previous baggage allowances, as printed on the ticket, will apply.

Under the piece concept, passengers are entitled to check in a specified number of baggage items free of charge, depending on their travel class.

Weight restrictions also apply and are graduated according to economy, business and first class.

In some cases, passengers will have a significantly higher weight allowance than under the previous weight concept. The free baggage allowance for passengers traveling in economy class, for example, has been increased from 20 kilograms to 23 kilograms. In business class, passengers may check in two items of baggage — three in first class — each weighing up to 32 kilograms.
