Weight limit: 8 kg (17.6 lb)
Austrian-operated flights: standard Economy and Premium Economy allow one cabin bag; Business normally allows two, each up to 8 kg. Short-/medium-haul Economy Basic is personal-item-only without an eligible add-on or status. US departures and certain regional flights restrict the second cabin bag. This checker assesses one bag, not route eligibility or multiple-bag total weight.
The source does not say whether wheels and handles are included, so measure the full external size to be safe.
Fares & cabin classes
Basic Economy
No overhead cabin bag
Personal Item: 40×30×15 cm
This Basic selection represents short-/medium-haul Economy Basic without an add-on or status benefit. Long-haul Basic includes a cabin bag: use Economy with the published allowance when confirmed on the ticket. Eligible HON Circle, Senator and Star Alliance Gold status includes one cabin bag. Purchase an eligible cabin-bag option before the airport; the checker cannot verify route or status eligibility.
Premium Economy
1 cabin bag
55×40×23 cmUp to 8 kg
Economy

55×40×23 cmUp to 8 kg
Business

55×40×23 cmUp to 8 kg
The current cabin page lists two bags at 8 kg each. The published 29 December 2025 Canadian tariff also states a 12 kg combined limit for both Business cabin bags. Confirm the applicable tariff for Canada travel; this single-bag checker does not validate that combined limit. US departures and certain regional flights can reduce the count to one.
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 policyHow 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.
Austrian Airlines liquids policy
Vienna Airport currently permits liquid containers up to 2 litres and electronics to remain in the cabin bag; thermos flasks must be empty. Check each departure, transfer and return airport separately. Other checkpoints may retain 100 ml containers and a 1-litre bag; exceptions have conditions.
Family & Infants
Infant (under 2)
Infants are under two and normally have no seat of their own. Austrian normally quotes 10% of the adult fare, with country, fare and seasonal differences. Confirm the infant ticket and baggage allowance; no universal extra baby-bag allowance is established here.
Stroller
One eligible child-equipment item per child may be carried free in the hold, OR an eligible restraint/carrier in the cabin. Airport procedures differ; in Vienna prams, pushchairs and baby carriers go to the oversized-baggage counter. A pocket buggy up to 55x40x23 cm counts within the cabin allowance; electric pushchairs are not allowed.
Car seat
A certified child seat may be the free child-equipment selection for cabin carriage. For use onboard, reserve a separate seat and confirm aircraft certification and fit on 43x43 cm. A universal free hold allowance for every car seat is not established by the current page.
