Lufthansa Airlines Baggage Policy
The Lufthansa Airlines Baggage Policy includes specific guidelines for items that require extra care or have unique handling requirements. For valuable items such as jewelry, cash, important documents, laptops, cameras, and other electronics, Lufthansa strongly advises keeping them in your carry-on baggage. The airline's liability for loss, damage, or delay to valuables in checked baggage is severely limited. If you must check valuable items, it is highly recommended to declare their value at check-in and consider purchasing additional insurance for peace of mind. Fragile items, such as glassware, electronics, or antiques, are accepted but are transported at the owner's risk. While Lufthansa does not typically cover damage to fragile items in checked baggage, you can declare them as fragile at check-in for an additional handling fee. This declaration may prompt staff to take extra care, but it does not guarantee against damage. For oversized or overweight baggage, which includes items like surfboards, bicycles, or musical instruments, you must contact Lufthansa Cargo in advance. These items often exceed the standard size and weight limits for passenger baggage and require special handling. They will be transported as cargo and are subject to specific fees based on their dimensions and weight. Declaring these items correctly and arranging their transport beforehand is essential to prevent any issues at the airport and ensure they arrive at your destination safely. Always check the Lufthansa website for a detailed list of prohibited and restricted items to avoid any complications during the check-in process.
