Hand baggage for babies

Limited space in overhead bins

Do you have a Light ticket? If we know in advance that there won't be enough space in the overhead bins, you will receive a message asking you to check in your hand baggage at the check-in desk. Of course, this is free of charge. We advise you to pack any travel essentials such as medicines in your smaller bag, just in case.

Haven't received a message to check in your hand baggage? If there’s still not enough space and your luggage does not fit underneath the seat in front of you, we might ask you to check it in at the gate. This is free of charge as well.
