Lufthansa carry-on baggage 2026: size and weight
Verified Lufthansa (LH) cabin baggage rules for 2026: personal item and cabin bag dimensions, weight, fares and the official source.
Limit
The limits below come from a verified Lufthansa source. Start with the fare: the same airline can have different allowances for a basic ticket and a fare that includes an overhead cabin bag.
| Fare | Type | Dimensions | Weight | Info |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Basic | Personal item | 40 × 30 × 15 cm | — | Short/medium haul Basic includes a personal item. |
| Economy Light / Comfort / Flex | Cabin bag | 55 × 40 × 23 cm | 8 kg | Cabin suitcase for overhead locker. |
| Economy Light / Comfort / Flex | Personal item | 40 × 30 × 15 cm | — | Personal item under the seat. |
How to read the limits
Dimensions are shown as height × width × depth. Where no separate weight is listed, check the fare note because some airlines use one combined weight limit for both cabin pieces.
Common mistake
Do not assume a 55 × 40 × 20 cm suitcase is automatically included. Many basic fares include only a small under-seat personal item.
We do not quote fees unless they are verified because baggage charges can change dynamically.
Check your bag
Always check the official airport or airline source before travel. Rules can change and may be more restrictive.
