Choose by where the bag must travel and what your booking includes. A hold-bag purchase does not by itself buy an overhead allowance.
| Option | Published limit | Booking check |
|---|---|---|
| Small cabin bag | 45×36×20 cm, 15 kg | One included |
| Large cabin bag | 56×45×25 cm, 15 kg | Purchase or eligible Plus / Inclusive Plus benefit |
| Hold bag | 15 or 23 kg, extra weight in 3 kg steps up to 32 kg | Check purchased allowance; total dimensions under 275 cm |

Compare the complete trip cost
For a 55×40×20 cm, 9 kg suitcase, compare the large-cabin option with a hold-bag quote for the same flights. Both may accommodate the bag, but hold luggage must be handed over before boarding and collected after arrival. Keep documents and items you need during the flight in your small bag.
For a 24 kg suitcase with only 23 kg booked, check extra weight before travel. Buying overhead space does not increase your hold allowance. Pooling applies to people on the same booking and flight, within the number of bags booked; each piece stays at or below 32 kg. Sports-equipment weight cannot join that pool.
Plus members should reserve the large cabin bag using their member number. Without reservation, and for Inclusive Plus, cabin space conditions apply; an entitled bag may travel in the hold free of charge. Remove power banks and spare lithium batteries before handing over a cabin bag. Check cabin dimensions.
