Dear passengers, we bring to your notice that the permissible weight and size of the hand luggage is established by the airline, depending on destination and travel class, chosen by the passenger.
In order to avoid problems at the airport, please contact your carrier and specify the information concerning the hand luggage transportation rules. You can find your carrier here.
If your hand luggage is oversized/overweight, it shall be registered, for the passengers comfort, safety and security reasons. Transportation rules for liquids in hand luggage:
Liquids in hand luggage
In your hand luggage you may take strictly limited quantities of liquids which must be packed as follows:
These liquids must be packed in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100 milliliters each. These containers must be packed in a single, transparent, re-sealable plastic bag, with the maximum capacity allowed of one liter per passenger (see photo).
These rules refer only to the transportation of the liquids in hand luggage.
Liquids bought in duty-free shops
Liquids (drinks and fragrances) can be bought in duty-free shops located beyond the boarding pass check or on the aircraft. If you purchased goods in duty-free shops in a sealed bag, do not open it before the security checkpoint. In case you fly through an EU airport, you shall not unseal the bag before you pass the control formalities at the transit airport. If you fly through several EU airports, do not open the bag until you go through the control procedures at all transit airports. Otherwise, the contents of such bag will be confiscated. Therefore, you should tell the duty-free shop assistant to pack your purchase properly for transit flights.
