Baggage
Each airline has its own baggage policy, specifying the number of items allowed on board, including their weight and dimensions. It also defines which types of luggage are included in the ticket price and which are subject to an additional fee. Passengers should not rely on previous experience with other airlines and are advised to always review the Conditions of Carriage of the airline they are currently flying with. These can be found on the airline's website in the Terms & Conditions section or provided by a travel agency.
- Hand baggage refers to items the passenger carries throughout their time at the airport and during the flight. Usually, these belongings (handbag, laptop, backpack, plastic bag, duty free purchase…) are placed under the seat in front of the passenger or in the overhead compartments.
- Checked baggage is handed over at the check-in desk before the flight and transported in the aircraft hold. The passenger can collect their baggage from the baggage carousel upon arrival at the destination.
Baggage packing and weighing
In the departure hall of the airport (at the check-in counters), you can use the baggage packing and weighing service.
