Default is Economy BASIC/CLASSIC/FLEX. MINI is personal-item-only. A paid heavy-cabin-baggage allowance raises the Economy total to 12 kg; on MINI it also adds a main bag. The checker does not select that paid upgrade or loyalty status and does not add multiple bag weights.

The source does not say whether wheels and handles are included, so measure the full external size to be safe.

Baggage fees

No reliable fixed price is listed here. Check your booking for the cost of adding a bag; an unlisted price does not mean it is free.

Official baggage policy

How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Measure the packed bag and verify the operating carrier's rule.

airBaltic liquids policy

airBaltic describes liquids in containers no larger than 100 ml, inside one transparent resealable 1-litre bag (about 20×20 cm) per passenger, presented for screening. Confirm current rules and permitted medical/baby-food exceptions with each departure and transfer airport.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

Infants with or without their own seat have no cabin-baggage allowance. The family policy separately provides one checked bag up to 10 kg.

Stroller

For an infant or child booking, ONE fully collapsible pram/stroller, carrycot OR child car seat is transported free. This does not grant all these items together or a guaranteed arrival return location.

Car seat

An own compliant safety seat may be used on an airBaltic-operated flight with a separately booked child seat. Maximum seat width 45 cm; secure it using the aircraft lap belt and meet the published approval requirements. Children 2–12 must be at most 18 kg and 100 cm to use it.

Children's allowance

Children receive the cabin allowance of their fare; infants have none.
