General information
- On our flights your baggage will usually travel in the cabin and in the hold of the aircraft. Cabin baggage (carry-on baggage, hand luggage) should contain items you will need during the flight, whereas larger suitcases and other items are carried as checked baggage in the hold of the aircraft. Specific regulations and fees may apply to special baggage, which includes various sporting equipment, musical instruments and pets, among others.
Cabin baggage
- For safety and convenience of you and other passengers, each passenger (except infants) is allowed 1 piece of hand baggage with an 5 kg weight limit. Hand baggage must be stowed under the seat in front of you or in the locker above passenger seat. The overall dimensions of hand baggage may not exceed 56x45x25 cm. In addition to the allowances, passengers may carry onboard a lady’s purse, reading material for the flight, a small camera or binoculars, infant’s carrying basket, baby food for the flight, an overcoat, an umbrella, a walking stick.
- When departing from EU-country, Iceland, Norway or Switzerland, each passenger may carry liquids as carry-on baggage, provided that the liquids are packed in containers not exceeding 100 ml in size and all containers fit into one plastic bag of a maximum size of one litre. The bag must be transparent and re-sealable.
- For security reasons sharp objects, such as knives, scissors, corkscrews, knitting needles, tweezers, golf clubs or skates must not be packed in your carry-on baggage.
Checked baggage
- Checked baggage is left at the check-in desk to be carried by the airline. The passenger's identity is checked at the check-in desk and at the gate, baggage is tagged with name tags.
- Checked baggage is loaded in the aircraft cargo compartment and is transported on the same aircraft as the passenger. Only properly closed, zipped and locked suitcases or other pieces of baggage are accepted for carriage.
- Other articles, like sporting equipment or live animals in appropriate containers can be accepted for carriage with airline‘s approval.
- Free baggage allowance for adults and children over 2 years is 20 kg. Children under two years of age (infants) without a reserved seat may bring 10 kg of baggage and one folding pushchair.
- Any single piece of baggage checked-in by passenger and carried on board may not exceed weight of 32 kg and maximum circumference of 158 cm (length + width + height).

Excess baggage and special equipment
- If the weight of your baggage exceeds our weight requirements for checked baggage (20 kg), we have the right (without assuming any liability) to refuse to carry such baggage or accept to carry the baggage (or part thereof) if you pay our fee for excess baggage. All information about fees for excess baggage will be provided to you by airline or by the agent selling you the trip.

- Exceptions are only in the case of special items, such as sporting equipment (archery, fishing, golf, diving, surfboarding, windsurfing equipment, bicycles), musical instruments, pets and wheelchairs. Passengers should inform an airline or tour operator about special items of baggage, so that airline can confirm they can be taken along. The excess-baggage rates for special baggage may apply. This is because the loading and handling of special baggage always requires careful planning. In addition, special baggage takes up a lot of space in the hold of the aircraft, leaving less space available for other baggage.
