MODES

Cabin · Pet as checked baggage · Manifest cargo

Government route rules can still force cargo even where Lufthansa allows cabin/hold.

BOAS AND BRACHYCEPHALIC BREEDS

Short-nosed breeds are not accepted in the hold; cabin may remain possible within limits, while Lufthansa Cargo is separate.

BOOKING CHANNEL

The marketing carrier is not enough. Verify the operating flight, aircraft, airport station and capacity.
