For hand luggage, the airlines will generally allow you to bring one bag per person. This can vary depending on the airline. Different weight restrictions can also apply so make sure you check with your airline in advance. Your hand luggage needs to fit in the overhead compartment of the airplane so the dimensions of your bag should not exceed 55x35x16 cm. There are also restrictions on what you can and cannot pack.

All luggage is handled with a great deal of care to ensure it gets back to you safe and sound. The maximum size and weight of checked-in luggage depends on your airline so make sure you get all the information you need before packing. The price for checking-in luggage will also vary.
