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.

Turkish Airlines liquids policy

Turkish cabin policy: containers up to 100 ml in one transparent resealable 1 L bag per passenger. Medicine and infant-food conditions apply; also check departure and transit security rules.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

One cabin bag up to 8 kg. Checked infant allowance: 10 kg under weight concept or one 23 kg piece under piece concept, except EcoFly routes with no free checked allowance. International infant fare varies by route/date; a separate seat uses the applicable child fare.

Stroller

No carriage surcharge under the infant page. Gate handover is available; cabin acceptance requires 55×40×23 cm / 8 kg, pouch and cabin tag. Airport-specific exceptions mean return at the aircraft door is not guaranteed. Published checked stroller limit 115 cm.

Car seat

No infant-seat carriage surcharge, but cabin use is subject to the published device type, dimensions, harness and seat-booking conditions. Obtain approval for the actual device; do not infer universal cabin-seat acceptance.
