Lufthansa at Frankfurt Airport

You can issue your boarding pass from 30 hours before departure conveniently and quickly in the Lufthansa app or online. Save your boarding pass in the Lufthansa app to be kept informed about changes concerning your flight. At the airport you can issue your boarding pass at a check-in machine. Your departure gate can be found on your boarding pass, in the Lufthansa app and on display boards at the airport. 

The Lufthansa bag drop-off areas are located in Terminal 1 in Departures Halls A and B. Travellers arriving by Lufthansa Express Rail and Lufthansa Express Bus can drop off their baggage in the AIRail Terminal. 

At Frankfurt Airport you can drop off your baggage yourself at a self-service bag drop kiosk. To do this, scan your boarding pass at a bag tag machine and attach this to the long side of your baggage item.

Location of bag drop-off: Terminal 1, Departures Hall A, counters 259–278. Families booked in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class can also check in their baggage here. Departures Hall B, counters 314–335.

Exclusive premium self-service bag drop kiosks for First Class and Business Class passengers as well as status customers are provided in Departures Hall A at counters 261 to 263. As usual, the bag tag also gets the Priority or HON imprint here so that your baggage is given priority unloading at your destination airport.  

Bag drop-off for bulky baggage 

Surfboards, fully foldable travel pushchairs, and backpacks – some items of baggage need to be checked in separately at the bulky-baggage counter. You will be told at the airport whether your item of baggage counts as bulky baggage. 

Please check in your bulky baggage only after you have checked in your regular baggage.

Location of bulky baggage drop-off: Drop off in Terminal 1, between Departures Hall A and B, counters 301–304. Pushchairs and child seats can be dropped off in Departures Hall B at counter 314.
