Carry-on

Economy class passengers are allowed to carry one bag on-board the flight, with a maximum weight of 10kg. For Club Class passengers, this allowance extends to 2 bags with a maximum total weight of 15kg. The maximum dimensions of all hand luggage is capped at 20 x 40 x 55cm. In addition, certain items including small cameras, laptops and handbags may also be carried on the flight.

Checked Luggage

20kg is the check-in luggage allowance for Economy passengers, with Club Class passengers able to check-in up to 30kg of luggage. This weight allowance can be distributed between different pieces of luggage as long as the maximum weight allowance is not exceeded, or excess baggage fees will apply. If you’re travelling as part of a group, baggage allowance may be distributed between different parties, allowing a passenger to take more than their allowance if another in their group has that weight allowance to spare. The maximum weight limit for a single piece of luggage is 32kg.

Bulky Items

Passengers wishing to travel with sporting equipment are able to purchase a Sports Equipment check-in voucher from the airline for 30 Euros per piece per flight. Most sporting equipment is covered, including diving, archery, skiing and rock climbing equipment, as well as firearms and bicycles. Bookings can be made up to 4 hours prior to flight departure. The sports equipment allowance will be included in your regular baggage allowance if you have spare weight allowance to cover it.

Infant Baggage

If you’re travelling with a child under 2 years old, they’re entitled to up to 10kg of checked baggage, whichever class they’re travelling in. A collapsible stroller may also be used right up until boarding, where it will be taken by airline staff and stowed in the aircraft hold, until arrival at your destination.
