Luggage information

Luggage allowances vary from airline to airline. For detailed information, please also contact your airline or travel agent.

Luggage Allowances

Your baggage allowance depends on your booked travel class. Please check your travel documents for details.

Excess Luggage

You are additionally charged for excess luggage. Please inquire ahead of time, because the permitted allowances and rates vary from airline to airline. A pre-departure declaration is recommended.

Missing or Damaged Luggage

If you notice damage to your luggage after arrival or if it is delayed, please report your luggage to your airline as damaged or lost. Many airlines offer online loss reporting, for more information click here.

Please note that only the airline's baggage tracing service is responsible for your luggage and the lost and found office at Frankfurt Airport cannot help in these cases.

Dangerous Goods

Please consider the legal requirements for carrying dangerous good in your luggage. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations can be found here: Dangerous Goods Regulations

If during the luggage check your baggage is suspected of containing prohibited items, your baggage will be opened for safety reasons. A report will be left informing if and what has been taken and contact details.

Luggage Check

Before your luggage can be loaded onto an aircraft, it must be checked for air security. This is done in an automated process after check-in. In individual cases, it may be necessary to open your baggage without you being present. Therefore, lock your suitcase as usual. However, we ask you please do not use padlocks.

Bulky Luggage

You can check bulky items at your airline's regular check-in counter.
