Oh, I always carry a website printout of the policies. It's saved me more than once, but it's also been stretched beyond belief to be construed differently. Continental Airlines agent once looked at my printout then told me what was in the required box did not matter, it was the oversize of the box (standard cardboard bike box) which conveniently cost more than the bike fee stated on the printout. I have other examples, but would prefer not to derail this thread from its original purpose of current Lufthansa practice.
