At a glance
🎒 Personal item
One free small under-seat item (max 40 x 30 x 20 cm) is included on all fares. The total weight of cabin items must not exceed 10 kg. You may also bring an umbrella, walking stick, and one duty-free bag within that allowance.
🧳 Carry-on
A full-size overhead cabin bag (max 55 x 40 x 25 cm) is NOT free on the cheapest Basic fare — it is bundled only with higher Smart and Max fares, or bought as an add-on. Bringing an unbooked cabin bag to the airport costs about EUR 60.

Other common fees
| Excess weight at airport | EUR 15 per extra kg |
| Unbooked cabin bag at airport | approx. EUR 60 |
How to avoid extra fees
- Always book your cabin bag and checked luggage online in advance — airport prices are roughly double.
- On the Basic fare you only get the small under-seat bag; if you need overhead space, compare the Smart/Max fare price against buying the cabin bag separately.
- Spread weight across bags so no single piece exceeds 32 kg, and keep the total under 50 kg per passenger.
