Lufthansa Extra Bag Check Question

Recommended Posts

Our TA booked us from Rome to Dulles through Frankfurt.  The Rome to Frankfurt leg is on Lufthansa which allows one checked bag and a carry-on with 17.6 pound limit.  Our second leg is on their partner airline United which allows two checked bags (we have preferred economy this leg).   Since our carry-on will exceed the weight limit after 3 weeks of shopping, I would like to check our carry-on in Rome.  This will be an extra checked bag for our first leg.  What is the cheapest way to check an extra bag on Lufthansa?  Can't see where you can do it on line.  Is it done at the airport at check in?  Any idea what the cost would be to check a second bag?

If your trip has been booked as one ticket, then in all likelihood Lufthansa check-in in Rome will accept your second piece of luggage for the hold as they will see your forward booking luggage allowance.

The snag with this would be that you cannot retrieve your second piece in Frankfurt, should you need it, it would be labelled for Dulles as well as your main. They could label it to Frankfurt only, but then one needs to go to baggage claim in Frankfurt and retrieve it themselves.
