Avoid fees at the airport

We monitor carry-on baggage at the airport and fees apply if you exceed your allowance. Extra items may also need to be checked in. If you know you're likely to go over your allowance, it's cheaper to purchase extra baggage online before you arrive at the airport. You can do this when you book or at Manage booking.

Travelling with dangerous goods or medication

Dangerous goods

Some items are prohibited as carry-on baggage so make sure you remove restricted items and don’t forget to check liquids, aerosols, gels and powders if you are flying from an international terminal.
