Electronic bag tags
Lufthansa offers you the option of using an "electronic bag tag" for your trip which has an electronic display instead of the conventional paper bag tag.
You can prepare the digital bag tags conveniently at home through your smartphone and attach them to your baggage. On your arrival at the airport, check in your baggage directly at the self-service bag drop kiosks or at the Fast Bag Drop, where available. Find out more about the Fast Bag Drop baggage drop off:

Lufthansa supports the electronic bag tags of the suppliers BAGTAG and BagID, as well as the electronic bag tags integrated in some RIMOWA models.
In each case, customers must download the corresponding provider app to load the bag tag to the hardware.
