Anyone traveling with more than a few valuable items will have a problem with them, because LH's allowance is below internationally accepted standards such thing does NOT exist and incompatible with the US air transportation system. Why should LH standards of luggage be acceptable with US air transportation system.IS LH being paid by the US government? Or would US government bail out LH should it ever become necessary? E.g. if you buy a transatlantic ticket that involves a LH flight, you CAN NOT have your "1 carry-on and 1 personal item"Of course you can. Next time please be careful with reading rules., so it doesn't matter that all other airlines on your itinerary will allow it, you can't take it with you because LH won't.
