Adding large hand luggage to your booking
You can only add large hand luggage when booking your flight. It’s not possible to do this at the airport.
Have you not added large hand luggage to your booking?
Do you have large hand luggage with you at the check-in? In that case you can take it with you as checked luggage if you pay a supplement. If you had already booked checked luggage, we will add the weight of your hand luggage to that of your checked luggage. You will only pay for the extra weight.
Haven’t you booked any checked baggage yet?
In that case, you will pay the fixed price for hand luggage transported in the hold.
Advantages if your hand luggage meets the guidelines:
- Hand luggage in the cabin
- Smooth boarding and departure
- Fewer kilos = fewer emissions
Everything you need to know about luggage
Special luggage
- Batteries: for safety reasons, you are not allowed to carry loose lithium batteries (e.g. power banks or spare batteries) in the baggage you check in. Please put them in the personal item you can take on board. This practical overview provides more information about the items you are or are not allowed to carry in our (carry-on) baggage.

- A wheelchair is not included in the standard baggage. A wheelchair needs to be mentioned during booking
- Special baggage: buggies, wheelchairs, bicycles and other sports equipment, i.e. anything that does not fit in a suitcase with standard dimensions. This baggage is transported at the risk of the passenger.
Security measures for hand luggage
- Liquids in hand luggage: due to European regulation N° 1546/2006 there are restrictions on the amount of liquids allowed in hand baggage. The more stringent rules only apply to baggage taken into the cabin and to all passengers who depart from a European airport regardless of their destination. Separately packaged liquids of maximum 100 ml each are allowed. Several bottles of liquid need to be packed together in a re-sealable transparent plastic bag. There is a maximum of 1 litre per passenger. Liquid is defined as: drinks (water included), perfumes, gels, shampoo, sunscreen and semi-liquid products such as tooth paste, sprays, spray cans and deodorant. There is no limit on the amount in the checked-in baggage. Exceptions (are allowed): medicines as well as baby and dietary food needed during the flight. At the security check, all passengers must present the plastic bag with the liquids separately and also take off their coats and/or shoes and remove their portable computers or other large electronic devices from their baggage. Products which do not comply with the regulations may be confiscated. It is possible that local authorities outside the EU apply more stringent standards and may sometimes act rather arbitrarily.
- Not allowed in hand baggage but allowed in checked-in baggage: liquids, sprays, knives, scissors, metal nail files and nail clippers
- Tax-free purchases: this remains possible but the sealed packaging may only be opened at the final destination.
