For your and your fellow AirBaltic passengers’ safety and convenience, each passenger (except infants) is allowed to carry on board:
- 2 cabin bags (55x40x20 cm max. each) travelling on a AirBaltic Business ticket, and AirBaltic PINS VIP membership holders;
- 1 cabin bag (55x40x20 cm, 8 kg max.), travelling on a AirBaltic Basic or AirBaltic Premium ticket.
In addition to the free baggage allowance, each passenger may carry one of the following personal items(max. 30x40x10 cm) on board:
- ladies’ purse;
- laptop bag;
- tax-free shopping bag;
- camera bag;
- umbrella.
The total combined weight of the cabin bag and the personal item cannot exceed 8 kg for travellers holding Basic or Premium tickets.
Hand luggage must be stowed under the seat in front of you or in the locker above your seat.
Passengers with reduced mobility are allowed to bring auxiliary devices into the aircraft cabin, provided that safety rules are not violated.
Extra/oversized hand luggage will be refused at the boarding gate or, where available, placed in the hold of the aircraft for a fee of 60 EUR.
If you are unsure about the size and/or weight of your hand luggage, please contact the baggage drop-off desk before going through security. If your hand luggage is found to exceed the limits, you will be required to check it in for a 40 EUR fee. This is cheaper than what you would be charged at the gate!
