Frequently asked questions
What is the Lufthansa checked bag weight limit?
Lufthansa’s own page gives 23 kg (50.7 lb) for a standard checked bag. Economy. Above 23 kg (to 32 kg) or 158 cm (to 292 cm) counts as excess baggage. Economy Light and short-haul Basic include no free checked bag. Weigh the packed bag at home: a luggage scale costs less than a single overweight fee at most airlines.
How big can a checked bag be on Lufthansa?
The standard size is 158 cm, measured as length plus width plus height with wheels and handles. Of the 17 checked suitcases in our catalog with wheels-included listing sizes, 9 are within it, the largest being 58.3 linear inches. 8 of the 28 to 30 inch cases are over it, so check a large case’s wheels-included figure before you buy it for Lufthansa.
What happens if my Lufthansa bag is overweight?
Lufthansa charges an overweight fee above the standard limit; the amount was not confirmed from its page for this site, so check the airline. Moving a few pounds into your carry-on is usually the cheapest fix.
