What size and weight for my suitcase?

Different instructions apply to cabin and hold baggage…

Each airline has its own rules, but we can observe a standardization of baggage requirements, whatever the airline.

Cabin luggage: maximum weight 10kgs. Their dimensions must not exceed 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm. Some airlines will check them before boarding. Additional/oversized carry-on baggage may be refused, or require an additional fee to board (fees are prohibitive). If you’re not sure, don’t hesitate to go to the baggage drop-off counter before going through security. Please note that handbags must be stowed in your carry-on bag, as some airlines charge additional fees.
Hold baggage: maximum weight 20kgs. Dimensions must not exceed 150cm x 150cm x 150cm, and contents must comply with each company’s safety regulations.
