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.

Air France liquids policy

Published cabin rule: containers up to 100 ml in one transparent closed bag up to 1 litre and 20×20 cm. Baby food and medication have exceptions; check departure and connection security rules.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

Lap infants under 2 generally receive a 90% fare discount; Paris–Corsica lap travel is free, and La Première requires contact for conditions. A child turning 2 during the trip uses the child fare for the whole booking. Lap infant cabin allowance: one 55×35×25 cm bag up to 12 kg; a 10 kg checked bag only when ticket conditions include checked baggage.

Stroller

One stroller or framed baby carrier is free in the hold regardless of fare. A fully folded stroller up to 55×45×25 cm may replace the child’s cabin bag, subject to space, a full carrying case and airport restrictions; not in the cabin on HOP! Embraer aircraft. Gate access or return is not guaranteed.

Car seat

One car seat is free in the hold regardless of fare. An infant in a separate seat needs an approved car seat or certified harness; contact Air France to book.

Children's allowance

Children aged 2+ and infants with their own booked seat have the adult allowance for their ticket and cabin.
