Carry-on Baggage 

We have established maximum restrictions for cabin baggage that may be taken on board to minimize movements and contacts in the cabin and with the safety of our passengers as our top priority. Therefore, you should only bring what is necessary for your cabin baggage, and only in amounts you can manage.

Your carry-on luggage might need to be free of charge transport in the aircraft's hold if the cabin volume restriction is reached. In this situation, you must have all the necessary paperwork, including your travel documents.

All carry-on baggage must be shown during check-in for proper labeling. (information/baggage/carry-on-baggage)  

Limitations

Checked baggage 

The amount of checked baggage is determined by the fare you paid. If your total volume or weight exceeds your fare permits, you can pay extra baggage fees at check-in or purchase an additional allowance. (information/baggage/checked-baggage)

Volumes weighing over 32 kg (70 lbs) must travel as freight only.

In the instances described below, the maximum weight restriction per volume for checked baggage is 45 kg (100 lbs). However, if the passenger's baggage allowance is exceeded, a heavy item fee in addition to an extra baggage cost will always be charged:
