Please note:

  • In case of high occupancy on the plane, carry-on baggage will be checked into the hold at no additional cost! Don't forget to stow valuable items in your personal item to ensure they fly with you in the cabin. You can also do so voluntarily if your baggage meets the specified weight and size requirements; simply approach the counter to have it checked into the plane's hold.
  • When your carry-on baggage does not meet the dimensions, weight, or number of pieces allowed in the cabin, it will be considered as checked baggage and may incur an additional charge. If your carry-on baggage exceeds the checked baggage conditions, it will be checked as additional baggage.
  • Carry-on baggage only applies to adults and children, it doesn't apply to babies (0 to 2 years old). 
  • When your carry-on baggage is subject to space availability, it will be marked with the conditional standby bag tag.
