Travel Information

Passengers are only carried by the airline if complete and valid travel documents, as well as a valid passport, ID card, and visa (if required), are presented during check-in. This also applies to any pets travelling with passengers.

Passenger check-in starts two hours before the estimated departure time and closes 40 minutes before the estimated departure time.

Only one piece of hand baggage per passenger is permitted in the cabin.

This item should weigh no more than 8 kg and its maximum dimensions are 55 x 45 x 25 cm (including all handles, side pockets, and wheels). It must be able to fit under the seat or in the overhead locker.

We strongly advise you to pack any liquids that you don’t need whilst onboard the aircraft in your hold baggage. However, if you do need to travel with liquids, please be aware of the following restrictions which apply to all liquids you wish to carry through an airport security checkpoint.

All liquids must be in individual containers not greater than 100 ml in capacity. They must be placed in one transparent re-sealable bag, no larger than 20 cm x 20 cm in size, and fit inside the bag so it can be closed.

Only one bag per passenger is allowed. The bag must be clear and re-sealable, such as ‘ziplock’ bags or bags with pressable seals. Larger bags or bags that are not sealable, such as fold-over sandwich bags, are not allowed.

Each passenger must remove their clear plastic bag from their hand baggage and present it for X-ray screening.

Liquids in containers of more than 100 ml in capacity can be packed in your hold baggage.

Exemptions to the liquids rule apply for liquid medicine or baby milk/food.

Any lithium batteries (protected against short-circuiting) or equipment containing lithium batteries MUST be in cabin baggage.

The weight of the baggage permitted for carriage in the hold of the aircraft is 20 kg per passenger. However, this may differ with flights to certain destinations. Please check with the tour operator for details of your specific flight.

For flights to TFS, FUE, ACE, SPC, LPA, PDL, FNC, DWC, DXB, and SHJ, the weight of the baggage permitted for carriage in the hold of the aircraft is 15 kg per passenger.

For flights to LYS and BGY, the weight of the baggage permitted for carriage in the hold of the aircraft is 18 kg per passenger. Ski/snowboarding shoes may be carried as part of the baggage allowance (in the same baggage or separately) as long as they do not weigh more than 18 kg.

Passengers traveling with infants under 2 years old can take an extra 10 kg per infant. The sum of the dimensions of hold baggage cannot exceed 158 cm (height + length + width). Any baggage that exceeds the set quantity (in weight, size, or item numbers) is regarded as excess baggage and is subject to the fees described under “Baggage Charges.”

Health and safety regulations limit the maximum weight per single item of baggage to 32 kg. Individual items or bags exceeding 32 kg cannot be accepted for carriage and passengers will be required to re-pack their luggage. This does not affect the baggage allowance.

Baggage pooling is allowed for passengers in the same booking, but the weight of each piece of checked baggage cannot exceed 32 kg.

Dangerous Goods are items that could initiate safety-related risks for an aircraft and people on board the aircraft during a flight. Dangerous Goods are also known as restricted articles, hazardous materials, and dangerous cargo. Dangerous Goods may only be transported after being packed accordingly by a cargo-handling company holding specific approvals.

For safety reasons, the following items cannot be taken onto an aircraft. Please do not pack them in either hand luggage or checked baggage.
