Lufthansa: personal item or not?
My employer booked me an international flight (in economy class) with Lufthansa, and I found those two links when looking up my luggage allowance:
https://www.lufthansa.com/de/en/Carry-on-baggage
https://www.lufthansa.com/de/en/Free-baggage-rules
The first one mentions only the carry-on, specifying that a personal item (ie laptop etc.) is allowed on top of the carry-on(s) included in the ticket.
The second one, on the other hand, mentions the checked-in luggage and the carry-on, but makes no mention of the personal item.
Does anyone knows if I can basically take three items (checked-in, carry-on and personal item)?
Thanks!

Most travelers take a laptop (or similar) bag AND the carry-on baggage, just as the less restrictive page says:
https://www.lufthansa.com/de/en/Carry-on-baggage
Just make sure your carry-on weights less than 8kg to avoid any trouble with it.
If you keep any concerns, you may take a screenshot of the page, or even print it. I' am sure you will not have any issues with your laptop, but you will have a good point to discuss in case you're asked to pay.
