LUGGAGE - What are the weight and size limits for hold and cabin baggage?

The sizes and weights authorised in both the cabin and the hold are defined by the airline and may depend on the ticket you have purchased.

  • Cabin baggage : 

Airlines often accept one piece of cabin baggage per person. The maximum size generally allowed is 115 cm (total of the three dimensions L + I + H) for a weight of between 5 and 10 kg. However, some airlines apply stricter conditions.

  • Hold baggage :

We advise you to check with the airline(s) you are travelling with, as the number and weight of hold baggage may vary from one airline to another and according to the class you are travelling in.

For more information, contact the airline(s) you will be travelling with. Be careful about connecting flights.

Medicines in liquid or paste form may be permitted in the cabin if you are in possession of the prescription. If these medicines are less than 100 ml, they can be carried in the cabin. Solid medications are permitted and do not require a prescription.

SAFETY CONTROL

The policy on the number and size of baggage items taken in the cabin depends on your airline.

  • Some airlines, particularly low-cost carriers, only allow’one piece of cabin baggage per passenger and must not exceed a strict size defined by the company.
  • While some airlines (e.g. Air France) always allow a handbag in addition to cabin baggage, usually an accessory (handbag/computer), some only allow one. by type of ticket you have taken.

 

We therefore advise you to check with the airline(s) you are travelling with.

The trolleys are located in front of the terminal on the departures side.
