What you can take on board

You can bring one small personal item that fits under the seat in front of you. On top of that, you get one cabin bag weighing up to 10kg. Keep the cabin bag within the 10kg limit, as staff may weigh it at the gate.

Checked baggage

Standard fares include one checked bag up to 23kg. If your bag is heavier, you will pay an excess fee at the airport, which is usually more expensive than adding baggage online in advance.
