Things to know
Avoid fees at the airport
Our weight and item limits adhere to safety requirements and our cabins' limited capacity. Carry-on allowances also help streamline the boarding process so you can get to your destination sooner.
We monitor baggage at the airport and excess baggage fees apply if you exceed your allowance. Your baggage may also need to be transferred to the hold and checked in.
Purchase 7kg of extra carry-on baggage
Pack a little more by increasing your carry-on allowance to 14kg. You can bring 2 items: a main item weighing a max of 10kg and a small item. Limited availability.

Family and infants
While infants under two travelling on your lap do not have their own carry-on baggage allowance, there are some additional checked baggage allowances.
Medications
Essential medication must be labelled with identifying information. Airport staff may request proof of medical need. Hypodermic needles must be declared.
Assistive devices
Assistive devices don't count towards your carry-on baggage allowance and are weighed separately. Only certain assistive devices can be carried in the aircraft cabin.
