Bag drop-off
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.
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 the 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.
