Special Items
Sports Equipment
Not transported free of charge. Must be booked in advance. If not communicated in advance, a $43 (approx. €40) surcharge applies at the airport on top of the standard transportation cost.
Musical Instruments
Small instruments (max 55x40x20 cm, 10 kg) allowed as hand luggage. Larger instruments can be taken in cabin by purchasing an extra seat (max height 150 cm, no weight limit) or checked in the hold.
International Rules
Long-haul flights (e.g., Cape Verde, Senegal, >8 hours) include up to 25 kg of checked baggage in Economy. European/Mediterranean flights do not include checked baggage in standard Economy.
Tips to Avoid Fees
1. Book checked baggage in advance online, as it is significantly cheaper than at the airport. 2. Ensure hand luggage meets the size and weight limits to avoid paying checked baggage fees at the gate. 3. If traveling long-haul, take advantage of the included 20kg or 25kg checked baggage allowance. 4. Weigh your bags before arriving at the airport to avoid the €16-€21 per kg excess weight fee.
Unique Nuances
Long-haul flights include up to 25kg of checked baggage in Economy, whereas short-haul flights do not include any. A special allowance of 10 kg luggage is provided for babies. If you have not booked special baggage (like sports equipment) in advance, a €40 surcharge applies at the airport on top of the transportation cost.
