Baggage Policy

Air France has a baggage policy that outlines the maximum size and weight allowances for checked and carry-on Baggage, as well as any additional fees that may apply. Air France's baggage policy is designed to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of passengers and their belongings. Therefore, following the size and weight allowances and additional regulations can provide a smooth travel experience with Air France.

Carry-on/Cabin Baggage Policy
