🧳 Carry-on rules

Yes — a personal item (small bag / laptop bag) is allowed in addition. To clear the gate sizer easily, keep your cabin bag within 55×40×25 cm and under 10 kg. A soft, slightly flexible bag is more forgiving than a rigid case.

🎒 Checked baggage

The standard checked allowance is 23 kg per bag. 2 free checked bags. Overweight bags trigger fees that often cost more than the ticket — weigh before you leave home.
