Traveling with sports equipment - more information

  • You can take more than one item of equipment, but in this case, the applicable rates can be checked at the time of ticket purchase or in the Manage My Booking tab.
  • Since space for sports equipment in the baggage hold is limited and varies between different aircraft types, some items of sports equipment may not be accepted. Check the availability of the service while booking your ticket on lot.com or thereafter minimum 24 hours before departure in the Manage My Booking tab. Remember to specify the type, weight and dimensions of your equipment. 
  • The default weight for sports equipment is 23 kg. If you exceed this limit, there will be an overweight charge (up to a maximum of 32 kg). For transporting bicycles or equipment specified at the time of booking as large, no additional charge applies. For heavier equipment (i.e., over 32 kg), transport is only possible as CARGO.
  • If you're continuing your journey with another carrier, please review their baggage regulations to avoid, for example, refusal of transport for your sports equipment.
  • The sports equipment you plan to bring must match the details added to your booking. Otherwise, we may refuse to transport it.
  • Are you a Miles & More member and holder of a HON, SEN or Star Alliance Gold card? In addition to your baggage allowance you may take also golf and skiing equipment.
