The German carrier first introduced the service in February for passengers flying from Frankfurt Airport.
Previously available only from the greater Frankfurt, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Hanau, Aschaffenburg, Wiesbaden, Mainz, Darmstadt, and Bensheim areas, baggage pick-up services have now been extended to include the Cologne and Siegburg/Bonn regions.
This will enable passengers from the greater Cologne, Bonn, Leverkusen, H¨¹rth, and Br¨¹hl areas, who are travelling to Frankfurt Airport by train, to utilise the service, the carrier said. The Lufthansa Express Rail network includes a connection at Cologne station.
Once baggage is collected, travellers using the service will receive ¡®real-time¡¯ updates via a personalised tracking link and a digital baggage tag receipt, meaning ¡°they only collect their luggage again at their destination,¡± the carrier said.
The ¡®premium¡¯ service can be booked via the carrier¡¯s website up to 36 hours prior to departure, with prices starting from €29. Pricing varies based on location and collection time.
