German Federal Government implements requirements enacted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. At the instruction of Germany’s Federal Ministry of the Interior, new regulations apply to all flights to the USA with immediate effect. We regret any inconvenience our passengers might experience due to these measures.

From now on, passengers are not allowed to bring liquids or gels of any size aboard aircraft in their carry-on luggage. This includes:

  • beverages
  • shampoo
  • suntan lotion
  • creams
  • toothpaste
  • hair gel
  • other liquids of similar consistency

Passengers are still allowed to have the following items in their carry-on luggage:

  • baby formula, breast milk or juice (if a baby or infant travels in their company),
  • essential medicine if the name marked on the medicine / prescription matches the name on the ticket.

These regulations apply to all flights to the USA with immediate effect. The items listed above must be stored in passengers’ baggage ahead of travel and checked in. Lufthansa recommends that its passengers reduce their carry-on luggage to a minimum and arrive early at the airport.
