Baggage Information

Baggage Information

Generally, passengers are allowed to take one bag and one personal carry-on item with them onto their flight. As such, there are certain size and weight restrictions to ensure each passenger’s belongings can fit in the cabin. Personal items usually include a handbag, briefcase or laptop bag that can easily fit underneath the cabin seat. In addition to a personal item, passengers may be able to bring on an additional bag or suit pack that can fit easily and be lifted by the passenger, into the overhead locker.Please contact your travel agency or airline for information on size and weight restrictions for carry-on and hold baggage. If your baggage exceeds the size or weight limits, you may be charged an excess baggage fee.To avoid baggage mix up, always attach a label to your baggage showing your first name and surname, address and telephone number.Before securing your baggage with padlocks, straps or wrap-around plastic, check whether the airline requires baggage to be opened for security screening.
