Back to newsGermany's largest airline, Lufthansa, is changing its baggage policy, eliminating the free cabin carry-on allowance on most fare types. Going forward, only a small personal item such as a backpack or laptop bag will be included at no extra charge. Passengers wishing to bring a standard overhead bin bag will need to pay an additional fee, depending on their ticket class.
For tourists flying to Crete from Germany or connecting through Frankfurt or Munich, this change means higher overall travel costs if you typically pack a carry-on. To avoid surprise charges at the gate, check your fare conditions before travel and consider either packing lighter into a personal item or budgeting for the added baggage fee when booking. Checking a hold bag may also become a more cost-effective option depending on the route and timing.
