Can I register baggage after I have finished the booking process?
You can register baggage after the end of the booking process. Standard surcharges will be levied.
Customers who have booked in the Best fare bracket can check in one item of luggage (no special or excess luggage) free of charge.
Customers who have booked in the Flex fare bracket can check in up to five items of luggage (no special or excess luggage) with a total weight of 20 kg free of charge.
You can subsequently register baggage up to 3 hours before departure online in the “My Germanwings” section and up to 2 hours before departure via our call centre.
If you want to add extras online, after logging in you will see your travel details and any services you have already booked. Simply add the desired number of items of luggage or excess luggage and click on “continue”.
You will then have to confirm payment and complete the booking.
You will then receive a new, updated booking confirmation.
Please note, that you cannot deselect luggage you have already registered.
At the airport you can register pieces of baggage belatedly up to 30 minutes before departure upon payment of the higher surcharge.
Please note that if you register luggage or excess luggage online before the flight, you save up to 60% on the supplement you would pay at the airport desk!
