Luggage

Cabin luggage

In addition to the free luggage allowance in the aircraft hold, you are entitled to carry at your own risk, one item of cabin luggage per person and it must not exceed 115 cm (length + width + height).

These size and weight allowed may vary. To find out the limit, ask your airline.

Be careful, the handbag is considered by some airlines as a full cabin luggage.

Well-prepared luggage for easier inspection

To ensure efficient, straightforward security checks, the airport advises you to anticipate your arrival by preparing your baggage and keeping your cabin luggage to a strict minimum.

You are currently allowed to carry one item of cabin luggage per person and it must not exceed 115 cm (length + width + height).

You can however already learn to travel light by putting all liquids, gels, creams, pastes and aerosols – whether food and drink or cosmetics – in your hold baggage.

Restrictions on carrying liquids, gels or similar products in your cabin luggage

For essential liquids and gels required during the flight, you should bring a transparent, resealable plastic bag (roughly 20 x 20 cm with a maximum capacity of 1 litre). You may use this to transport liquid, gel, cream and paste containers, each with a capacity of less than 100 ml (10 cl). 

Only one bag will be allowed per passenger.

All opaque containers (metal tins, tinted glass, etc.) that cast doubt on the nature of the contents are subject to the same cabin luggage restrictions as liquids and gels.

Exceptions : Food for babies and young children, which is required during the flight, is authorised regardless of volume (bottles, jars, etc.). The same applies to liquid medication (e.g.: syrup) and creams for children.

Objects unauthorised in the cabin

In the event that any prohibited objects are found during the security check, the passenger must:- hand over the said object for destruction- or give the object to an accompanying party who is still in the city side zone.Any objects which are unauthorised in the cabin* must be transported as hold baggage, if authorised.If this regulation is not observed, passengers will be asked to either return to the check-in desks where the object in question will be registered as hold baggage, to surrender it for subsequent destruction or to hand it over to a friend or relative in the public area.*Objects unauthorised in the cabin : explosive devices, knives, scissors, craft knives, firearms or replicas, self-defence sprays, sharp and pointed objects, dangerous objects (baseball bats, golf clubs, bowling balls, etc.) and, as a general rule, any object which could be used in an offensive manner.This list is not exhaustive; please contact your airline for more information about objects which may not be authorised for air transport.

Aircraft hold luggage

Only standard luggage may be checked in to the aircraft hold. Large objects will be sent as freight. For other luggage such as bikes, skis, (etc.), contact your airline.

Registered luggage will be transported free of charge in the aircraft hold and this is known as "free baggage allowance". Different airlines apply different restrictions, i.e. either weight restrictions will be applied or there will be a limit on the number of items of luggage you can take with you. Restrictions also vary according to the destination and ticket type. For excess luggage, you must pay a certain amount of tax per kilo or per additional item of luggage.

Note : to avoid your luggage being damaged, do not attach anything to it (i.e. belts or straps).

Free baggage allowance - in general

The average permitted weight is 20kg in economy class, 30kg in business class, 40kg in 1st class and 15kg for charter flights.

Lost or damaged luggage

You should speak to the last company to have transported your luggage.

They will look into the matter for you. To do so, ask for baggage service.

Caution: for all settlements, you will need to show the ticket stub and the baggage label receipt, which were provided during check-in.
