Can you bring a bassinet on a plane with Lufthansa when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a bassinet on a Lufthansa flight

 

Lufthansa provides onboard bassinets on many long‑haul aircraft, but they are limited and must be requested in advance.

  • Reserve the bassinet when booking or contact Lufthansa well before travel to confirm availability for your flight.
  • Bassinets are installed at bulkhead rows and are intended for small infants only; cabin crew will advise about age/weight suitability.
  • Bassinets cannot be used during taxi, takeoff, landing or turbulence, so your baby will need to be on your lap at those times.
  • You may bring a portable travel bassinet as part of your baggage allowance, but using a personal bassinet as a seat replacement is not permitted unless it is an approved child restraint system (CRS).
  • If you prefer a separate seat for the child, bring a certified CRS and confirm acceptability with the airline before flying.

If you want, contact Lufthansa customer service or your travel agent to reserve a bassinet and confirm aircraft suitability for your specific flight.
