Lufthansa Airlines Baggage Policy + 1-877-491-4448
For passengers who require assistance due to reduced mobility, age, or other disabilities, the Lufthansa Airlines Baggage Policy includes provisions designed to accommodate their needs, though specific arrangements often need to be made in advance. Lufthansa recognizes that individuals requiring assistance might need to travel with additional medical equipment, mobility aids, or personal items essential for their comfort and well-being. Wheelchairs (both manual and battery-powered), crutches, walkers, and similar mobility aids are generally accepted free of charge, either checked as special baggage or carried on subject to size constraints and safety regulations (especially for battery-powered ones). Similarly, medically necessary equipment and supplies, such as oxygen concentrators (requiring specific documentation and advance booking) or ventilators, can often be accommodated, again usually requiring prior notification and coordination with Lufthansa's Special Services team. Personal items like bedside commode chairs or portable hoists might also be considered, subject to approval and potential fees. It's crucial for passengers needing these accommodations to contact Lufthansa well in advance of their flight (often recommended 48 hours prior) to discuss their specific requirements, obtain the necessary documentation, and ensure a smooth experience both with baggage handling and overall travel assistance. Failing to notify Lufthansa in advance could result in complications or refusal of carriage for specialized equipment.
