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.

Discover Airlines liquids policy

Discover describes EU departure/transfer screening as 100 ml containers in one transparent resealable 1-litre bag. Medication and special food have exceptions; confirm the departure airport’s current instructions.
