Lufthansa, a German flag carrier, is a real reference point for all European travelers; It offers timely connections all over the world, and a state-of-the-art fleet. Its headquarters is in Frankfurt.

With 4 stars awarded by the authoritative Skytrax, Lufthansa is among the most important airlines in the world.
Here is some valuable information that you need to know to fly with Lufthansa.

HAND LUGGAGE

The free transport of a small bag or computer bag, up to 40 x 30 x 10 cm, is also allowed.
Please do not exceed the maximum weight allowed. In this case, traveling with Lufthansa could be a real drain. The company applies extremely high flat rates, in case of excess.

By purchasing the Economy Light and CLASSIC fares, you can carry, in addition to hand baggage, a hold baggage with a maximum weight of 23kg. The maximum dimensions allowed are 158 cm (length + height + depth).

The hold baggage is included FREE with the ECONOMY CLASSIC rate. However, if you have chosen to fly with Lufthansa in Economy LIGHT, you will have to pay a supplement for your checked baggage.

As for the hand baggage, also in this case it is advised not to exceed the maximum weight allowed, in order to avoid the very high flat rates before take-off.

ANIMALS ON BOARD

Traveling with Lufthansa means not having to give up the presence of your faithful friends. In fact, on the company’s airplanes, it is allowed to transport a dog, cat, hare or rabbit.

A maximum of two animals per passenger are allowed. In the case of transport in the cabin, the two animals must be placed in a single carrier with a maximum total weight of 8 kg and maximum dimensions of 55 x 40 x 23 cm.
