Lufthansa includes meals and drinks in every cabin, even economy, but baggage and seat selection now depend heavily on your fare type. Business class adds lie-flat beds, lounge access, and a 32kg baggage allowance.
Here is what comes with a Lufthansa ticket across its cabins: meals, seats, WiFi, baggage, lounges, and Miles & More, from official sources.
Lufthansa Economy Class: What Is Included
All international economy fares include meals and drinks, including beer and wine. Long-haul economy serves a three-course meal with regularly changing menus.
Baggage and seats are where fares differ. Standard economy includes one checked bag up to 23kg, but Economy Light is carry-on only.
- Meals: complimentary on international flights; three courses long-haul.
- Baggage: one checked bag up to 23kg, plus carry-on and personal item (not on Economy Light).
- Seat: free or paid selection depending on fare type.
- Entertainment: seatback screens on long-haul aircraft.
Lufthansa Premium Economy: What Is Included
Premium Economy is a separate cabin with up to 50 percent more room on all sides than economy. The hard-shell seat lets you recline without disturbing the passenger behind you.
Per Lufthansa, the inclusions cover:
- Seat: adjustable headrest, armrest, and leg rest, with increased recline.
- Welcome drink: a choice of two welcome drinks, including the signature Avionic, plus a bottle of water at your seat.
- Amenities: a curated amenity kit with eye shades, ear plugs, and lotion, plus slippers.
- Baggage: two free checked bags up to 23kg each, twice the economy allowance.
Note that the newer Premium Economy Light fares reduce baggage and charge for seat selection, so confirm what your fare includes.
Lufthansa Business Class (Allegris): What Is Included
Business class includes a lie-flat seat, lounge access, multi-course dining, and a 32kg baggage allowance. On the airline’s new Allegris cabin, seats extend into a bed up to 2.2 meters long.
The inclusions are comprehensive.
- Seat: lie-flat bed; Allegris adds more privacy and seat choices.
- Meals: a three-course main meal plus a pre-arrival meal, with an Allegris snack bar available anytime.
- Lounge: access to Lufthansa Business lounges or Star Alliance lounges, with showers and hot food.
- Baggage: two checked bags up to 32kg each, plus two carry-on bags.
Lufthansa First Class
On selected aircraft, Lufthansa operates a First Class cabin. The Allegris First suite seats up to two travelers together, with individually controllable seats, no armrest between them, and a bed over two meters long.
Floor-to-ceiling partitions and closable doors give you a private space. The ground experience is just as exclusive.
- First Class Terminal: a dedicated terminal in Frankfurt, named the World’s Best First Class Lounge by Skytrax.
- Dining: a Wining & Dining area, plus a cigar lounge with a wide whisky selection.
- Service: First Class lounges and First Class Terminal access for First passengers and HON Circle members.

WiFi and Miles & More
Lufthansa’s onboard WiFi is called FlyNet. Free messaging is available when you log in with a Travel ID or Miles & More membership, while full internet access requires a paid pass.
Full-flight internet passes start at roughly EUR 25, with shorter passes available, or you can pay using miles. First Class passengers get free premium access on Lufthansa-operated flights.
Earning Miles
Miles & More is Lufthansa’s frequent flyer program and part of the Star Alliance. You earn award miles based on your booking class, so flexible and premium fares earn more than the cheapest economy tickets.
As a Star Alliance member, you can also earn and spend Miles & More on partner carriers such as Singapore Airlines and Turkish Airlines.
Lounge access depends on cabin and status:
- Business class passengers get Lufthansa Business Lounge access, with showers and hot food.
- Senator and Star Alliance Gold members get Senator Lounge access regardless of cabin.
- First Class passengers and HON Circle members get First Class Lounges and the Frankfurt First Class Terminal.

- Extra or checked baggage: from around EUR 15 short-haul up to about EUR 90 long-haul per bag.
