Hand luggage

In most cases, just one piece of hand luggage – not exceeding the dimensions stipulated by the airline – is permitted in the cabin of the aircraft.

The standard maximum dimensions for cabin baggage – as set by IATA – are:

  •  length – max. 56 cm
  • height – max. 45 cm
  • width – max. 25 cm
  • weight – max. 8 kg

Please note: Individual airlines may have specifications for hand luggage that differ from those listed above. For example European Air Charter, where just 6 kg are acceptet with following dimensions: 55 x 40 x 20 cm. We recommend familiarising yourself with your airline's regulations prior to your departure. For security reasons, all sharp or pointed objects, knives and scissors – regardless of their type or size – are prohibited. Please pack any items fitting this description in your hold luggage!

By the way: Safety regulations concerning controls on explosive substances at European airports were extended. This means that passengers’ hand luggage and electronic devices will be manually screened for traces of explosives by using special strips of paper.

Special luggage

What do bikes, surfboards, golf bags and diving gear have in common? They are considered outsize luggage. Generally, every passenger is allowed to take one such piece of luggage. However, the airline must be notified in advance – when booking your flight. Charges for outsize luggage may vary by airline and can be paid on site at the information desk.
