Can I bring a pack and play on a Lufthansa flight?

 

Yes — Lufthansa generally accepts a collapsible pack and play (portable travel cot) for passengers traveling with an infant, but it usually must be checked or gate-checked rather than carried into the cabin. Policies can vary by route and fare, so always confirm before travel.

• Check before you travel: Measure and weigh the folded pack and play and compare with your booking or contact Lufthansa to confirm whether it is treated as free infant equipment or counts toward baggage allowance.
• At the airport: Bring a protective bag and be prepared to check it at check-in or the gate. Gate-checking is common for bulky baby equipment.
• If you need the cot onboard: Standard pack and plays do not qualify as cabin seats or bassinets — request a bassinet seat when booking if you need a cot that fits in the cabin (bassinet availability is limited).
• Arrive early: Early check-in helps staff advise how the item will be handled and secures space for gate check if needed.
• Contact Lufthansa for certainty: Policies and allowances depend on route and ticket type, so ask Lufthansa customer service or your travel agent to confirm details for your specific flight.
