Alcohol consumption
Alcohol consumed at high altitudes can have a stronger effect then usual. Passengers are not permitted to consume alcohol they have brought with them or purchased on board. We reserve the right to refuse to serve alcohol to anyone under the age of 18 or to passengers who are intoxicated.
Carry-.on baggage
One piece of hand baggage (max. 22x16x8 inches) or a folding clothes bag (max. 22x21x6 inches) weighing not more than eight kilos per passenger is allowed on board. Two pieces are usually permitted in First and Business Class. One should be stowed under the seat in front of you, the other in one of the overhead luggage bins. Please be careful that nothing falls out when opening the overhead bins. Passengers flying with Lufthansa City-Line or one of our Team Lufthansa partners are kindly requested to limit themselves to one piece of hand baggage. When travelling on smaller aircraft, you can deposit hand baggage on the cart provided before you board and we will stow it for you.
Smoking
All Lufthansa flights are non-smoking flights. We introduced this new regulation along with our 1998 summer timetable. Surveys showed that passengers were strongly in favor of fresh air on board. Many smokers also expressed a preference for non-smoking flights. Lufthansa will ensure, however, that smoking areas are available in the waiting areas at airports.
We wish you a pleasant flight.
