All fares include a free item of hand baggage that weighs no more than 7kgs and may not exceed the following dimensions: 56cm x 36cm x 23cm
What items can I take with me into the cabin‚ in addition to my hand baggage?
You can also bring along a slimline laptop bag and handbag. Airport security will require all laptops to be removed from their pockets and placed through the scanner separately.
Why do I sometimes have to give up my hand baggage during boarding?
Space on board the aircraft is minimal and often used up very quickly. We may place some of the larger hand baggage into the baggage holds to comply with weight and space regulations. Be sure to remove all valuable items from your hand baggage. The bags will be marked with a clear sticker indicating that it is a VIB (“Very Important Baggage”) item‚ and our team will make sure that it’s ready and waiting for you outside the craft on arrival.
