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.

    Source review: · Codex (AI source review)

The current regular ticket page uses Economy Light/Standard/Flex, Premium and Business names. Route matters: the basic-fare checker represents Light within Europe. Choose Selected class/Economy for an included Light main bag outside Europe, or a purchased cabin option when applicable. Only Economy Light can buy an additional main bag; included fares cannot buy another. Prices vary by route and purchase time. Excess size/weight goes to the hold with applicable fees. No measured enforcement tolerance or universal gate fee is asserted; measure the full exterior and check My Trips.
