2 Free Baggage Allowance Area of Application Weight Concept ( WC) applies worldwide, except where piece concept applies. Piece Concept (PC) applies for fare origin - to/from USA/US Territories, to/from Canada - via US for the sectors to/from US (other sectors remain WC) - to/from Mexico-Europe on LH only - for fares with travel origin Western Africa for travel in both directions (LOS/ACC/ABV/PHC) on LH only and DLA/YAO on LH/LX) - for fares with travel origin Brazil to Europe/Middle East for travel in both directions - Star Alliance Round the World Fares For transportation originating or terminating in the USA/US Territories, Canada or other countries where piece concept applies, piece concept regulations apply for the entire journey, irrespective a stopover is taken or not. Example: NYC-FRA-SIN-FRA-NYC for all sectors PC applies. If a passenger with PC allowance checks-in baggage after a stopover is made for a route where weight concept applies, the free baggage allowance will remain PC, but the charge for excess baggage must be paid according weight concept rates. Example: Stopover in SIN and FRA; check-in of 2 pc with 40kg (88lb) each. Baggage allowance is 2x23kg (2x50lb) => 34kg (74lb) have to be charged at the applicable rate per kg SIN-FRA. For transportation via US where a sector to/from USA/US-Territories is imbedded, PC only applies for the sectors to/from US, the rest of journey remains WC. Example: MAD-FRA-MIA-SDQ-MIA-FRA-MAD: only FRA-MIA-SDQ-MIA-FRA PC, MAD- FRA and FRA-MAD remains WC. But: FRA-MAD-SDQ-MAD-FRA all sectors WC. Free Baggage Allowance - Checked Baggage Maximum Weight per Piece (Weight and Piece Concept): Only up to 45kg (100lb) per piece is accepted as excess baggage; except to/from ZA, UK, AU, NZ, MT, CY, SA and to/from/via DXB/AUH/MCT/KRT/BRU the maximum permitted weight is 32kg (70lb). Please note that also specific carriers restrict the maximum handling weight to 32kg (AC) OR 23KG (BA) If exceeding 45 kg (100lb) or 32kg (70lb) where required, the piece of baggage must be checked as air cargo at specified cargo rates.

4 Interlining In case of interlining when LH is the first transporting carrier and the free baggage allowance is identical, the applicable LH charges shall be applied for the one-way direction of travel. This inclues interline sectors and as far as baggage has been checked through according to valid through-check and accounting rules. In case of interlining and the free baggage allowance is not identical, the applicable LH excess baggage charges have to be charged also if only required for parts of the journey and the LH sectors should be collected for the LH portion of the travel according to LH allowance and regulations. For interlining on ongoing other airline sectors, excess applies according to the transporting carrier s rules and charges. When other airlines offer the first leg of the journey, other charges (i.e. IATA standard of 1,5% of Y-oneway) could be applied. If free baggage allowances of LH and OAL are the same: When LH is the first transporting carrier, the new LH excess baggage weight rates shall be applied throughout the trip to the final destination and baggage will be through-checked according to the applicable through-check-in rules. Examples: Allowance 20kg both carriers (LH and OAL), passenger has 28kg. STR-FRA (LH flight) - FRA-TUN (TU flight): excess of 8kg to be collected for whole routing STR-TUN according to LH flatrates (8kg x 10 = 80). DEL-FRA (LH flight) - FRA-LHR (BA flight): excess of 8kg to be collected for whole routing DEL-LHR according to LH flatrates (8kg x 30 = 240). If free baggage allowances of LH and OAL are not the same but the customer s excess is within the OAL allowance: Combination of LH feeder flight weight concept and OAL connection piece concept or combination of LH flight weight allowance and OAL higher weight allowance. If the allowance on OAL sectors are higher than for LH, but the actual baggage weight is within the OAL allowance and only exceeding on LH, the weight excess rates for the LH sectors have to be charged and baggage will be through-checked. Examples: Passenger has 28kg FRA-LIS (LH weight concept 20kg) LIS-SAO (TP piece concept 2pc x 23kg ea, total 46kg): for the LH-sector FRA-LIS excess of 8kg to be collected according to LH flatrates (8kg x 10 = 80); no charge for OAL. HAM-FRA (LH weight concept 20kg) and FRA-KUL (MH weight concept 30kg): for the LH-sector HAM-FRA excess of 8kg to be collected according to LH flatrates (8kg x 5 = 40); no charge for OAL. If free baggage allowance of LH and OAL are not the same and the customer s excess is exceeding the OAL allowance: Split for LH and OAL sectors; charge of the carriers sectors based on the carrier s allowance and LH rates to be applied in both cases. Baggage will be through-checked. In case that customer does not accept the calculation for the OAL-sector, baggage shall not be through-checked and charge shall only be collected for LH-sector. Examples: Passenger has 50kg 4

5 FRA-LIS (LH weight concept 20kg), LIS-SAO (TP piece concept 2pc x 23kg ea, total 46kg): for the LH-sector FRA-LIS excess of 30kg to be collected according to LH flatrates (30kg x 10 = 300); for the TP-sector excess of 4kg to be collected according to LH flatrates (4kg x 30 = 120). Total charge 420. HAM-FRA (LH weight concept 20kg) and FRA-KUL (MH weight concept 30kg): for the LH-sector HAM-FRA excess of 30kg to be collected according to LH flatrates (30kg x 5 = 150); for the MH-secotr FRA-KUL 20kg to be collected according to LH flatrates (20kg x 30 = 600). Total charge 750. In case that customer does not accept the calculation for the OAL-sector, baggage shall not be through-checked and charge shall only be collected for LH-sector. Exceptions for Condor and LTU flights Due to the high volume of additional revenue, in 2002 a special agreement with DE and LTU was circulated by EB/G. Until further notice, we continue the existing exception for DE and LT: for excess and special baggage the DE/LT allowances and charges shall continue to apply for the whole trip inkluding LH-feeder. (Information available for LT under GGAIRLTBAGGAGE and for DE under ILOS DE/PAS/EXC). The LH handling requirements have to be applied on LH-sectors (maximum sizes and SSR transactions).
