Lufthansa Group introduces new outsize luggage rules

Lufthansa and its subsidiaries Swiss and Austrian are introducing zonal pricing for excess, special and bulky luggage, with rates set to increase on intercontinental flights.

Lufthansa, Swiss and Austrian are changing their conditions for excess and sports baggage. The new regulations are in place for all flights booked on or after 18 April 2018. Prices range from EUR 40-550 depending on size, weight and travel zone (6 new zones have been introduced in all). Until now the only distinction was between European and intercontinental flights. Costs on shorter routes such as domestic flights are set to drop as a result. There are six new zones, with Zone 1 designating domestic connections. A separate tariff list is in place for Japan.
