Places where you can store your baggage

Under the seat in front of you

In the overhead lockers
If your hand baggage is too large or if you are seated in the emergency row or the first row in the cabin, hand baggage should be stored in the overhead lockers.
Too much baggage? We have solutions for you!
Check the dimensions and weight of your hand baggage. If you exceed the allowed limits:
- Book online in advance an additional hold luggage, before the check-in opens, starting from EUR 30 / USD 39 / CAD 49, and save time and money. If the booking was made through a travel agent, you can purchase directly from the agent.
- If you are already at the airport, go to check-in and add your baggage as hold baggage via payment of the fees applied.
- In case you transport it to the boarding gate, a fee between EUR 70 / USD 75 / CAD 58 and EUR 220 / USD 230 / CAD 302 will be charged. Check the fees applied.
Precautions at Security Control
- Liquids1: Put all liquids in individual containers of up to 100ml in a transparent bag of up to 1l.
- Electronic devices: Remove computers, cameras, tablets, mobile phones and so on from your bags.
- Metal objects: Remove all metal items, such as earrings, pins, keys, watches, coins, etc. from your body and pockets.
- Clothes and footwear: Take off your jacket, belt and shoes to avoid having to go through the X-ray more than once.
- Children and babies: When traveling with children up to 2 years old, you can carry the necessary amount of food for the duration of the trip, but no water, which you can request on board. When going through airport security, you may be asked to taste that food.
1Please remember that alcohol-based hand sanitizers should not be used on any airplane equipment or surface, as the aircraft manufacturer has not approved them.
