LUGGAGE – What are the weight and size limits for hold and cabin baggage?

The permitted dimensions and weights for both hand luggage and hold luggage are set by the airline and may depend on the ticket you have purchased.

  • Hand luggage: 

Airlines often allow one piece of hand luggage per person. The maximum size generally permitted is 115 cm (the sum of the three dimensions: L + W + H), with a weight of between 5 and 10 kg. However, some airlines have stricter rules.

  • Checked baggage:

We advise you to check with the airline or airlines you are travelling with, as the number and weight of items of hold luggage may vary from one airline to another and depending on the class in which you are travelling.

For further details, please contact the airline(s) you will be travelling with. Please take care when making connections.

The policy on the number and size of items of hand luggage depends on your airline.

  • Some airlines, particularly low-cost carriers, only allow’one piece of hand luggage per passenger and must not exceed a specific size set by the company.
  • Whilst some airlines (e.g. Air France, etc.) always allow a handbag in addition to your cabin bag – usually one item (handbag or laptop) – others only allow this under certain conditions depending on the type of ticket that you have taken.

 

We therefore advise you to check with the airline or airlines you are travelling with

Luggage:

In principle, your baby is also entitled to one piece of hand luggage; if in doubt, however, please do not hesitate to contact your airline

Food:

If you are travelling with your baby, you are permitted to carry enough baby food in the cabin to last for the duration of the journey.

Travelling with your pushchair:

Prams must be checked in and labelled at the check-in desks by your airline’s staff.  To make your journey through the terminal easier, some airlines allow you, subject to certain conditions, to keep your pushchair with you until boarding. Otherwise, they will be placed directly in the hold like any other piece of luggage.

 

For children aged 4 and over, and generally up to the day before their 12th birthday, some airlines allow them to travel alone as UM (Unaccompanied Minors) passengers.

We advise you to contact the airline with which the child is due to travel to find out whether or not it allows unaccompanied minors (UMs) and what the relevant rules and fare conditions are.

Take a look at the ‘Children Travelling Alone’ section on our website:

CHILDREN TRAVELLING ALONE

NB: Please ensure that your children are travelling with all the necessary documents (ID, vaccination records, etc.)

All airlines have different policies regarding the carriage of animals in the cabin; please check the website of the airline you are travelling with to find out which animals are permitted on board.

When travelling, you must present a national identity document, such as a national identity card or a valid passport. We also advise you to visit the websites of the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or to contact your airline.

The formalities for travelling with a pet may vary depending on the airline. Please check with the airline you are travelling with.

It depends on the size/model of the pushchair:

  • If the pushchair can be placed amongst your personal belongings during the security check, you can take it right through to the aircraft
  • If the pushchair is the wrong size, it will be sent to the oversized luggage area.  

 

Please ask the member of staff handling your check-in for further information.
