Carry-​on

Musical instru­ments may be car­ried in the cab­in as carry-​on items in accor­dance with spe­cial conditions.

When car­ry­ing a musi­cal instru­ment in the air­craft cab­in (except for gui­tars) whose dimen­sions do not exceed 135×50×30 cm but exceed 135 cm in total, the rules for car­ry­ing bag­gage on a pas­sen­ger seat apply.

Cabin seat

Any bag­gage that requires spe­cial trav­el con­di­tions (e.g. valu­able, brit­tle, frag­ile, or break­able objects) can be car­ried in a pas­sen­ger seat in the fol­low­ing cases:

– the pas­sen­ger has agreed this ser­vice with the air­line at least 36 hours before the depar­ture time;
– the bag­gage has under­gone a tech­ni­cal inspec­tion as part of secu­ri­ty screening.

The weight of such bag­gage shall not exceed 80 kg, and its dimen­sions shall not exceed 135×50×30 cm. The pas­sen­ger must pay for an addi­tion­al seat tick­et based on the adult pas­sen­ger fare, with the same fees charged. Payment for excess bag­gage will not apply in this case. The free bag­gage allowance does not apply to the pas­sen­ger seat tick­et pur­chased to trans­port baggage.

Baggage trans­port­ed in the air­craft cab­in must be packed so as to pre­vent any dam­age to cab­in equip­ment dur­ing the flight. The bag­gage shall be placed in a win­dow pas­sen­ger seat and secured with a safe­ty belt.

Baggage to be trans­port­ed in the cab­in shall be deliv­ered to the air­craft, lift­ed, placed in the cab­in, removed and trans­port­ed from the air­craft by the pas­sen­ger trans­port­ing such baggage.

Baggage that requires spe­cial trav­el con­di­tions and is car­ried in the cab­in does not need to be checked. Responsibility for its safe­ty and integri­ty lies with the passenger.

Checked

Musical instru­ments whose dimen­sions exceed the allowed dimen­sions for bag­gage to be car­ried in a pas­sen­ger seat (and, should the pas­sen­ger wish, instru­ments of small­er dimen­sions) are car­ried based on the gen­er­al rules of car­riage for free and excess checked bag­gage in the hold of the air­craft, to ensure their safe­ty dur­ing transportation.

Carriage must be agreed upon with the air­line at least 36 hours before the flight’s sched­uled departure.
