We recommend that you arrive at the airport in good time:

If you have checked in in advance and only have hand luggage, you can go directly to the security check. Remember to bring your travel documentation (passport, etc.) and boarding pass or electronic ticket.

Luggage rules

There are various restrictions on what you can bring on your journey, both with regard to carry-on luggage and checked in luggage.

Liquids

Anything that is liquid, spreadable or in gaseous form is considered a liquid.

It is possible to bring smaller amounts of liquids in your carry-on luggage provided that:

• The fluids are in containers that accommodate a maximum of 100 millilitres each
• The containers are placed in a transparent, re-sealable plastic bag with a maximum capacity of 1 litre.
• Only one 1 litre bag per traveller is allowed.

Frozen liquids are still considered liquids, the same applies to containers that contain liquid together with other things (e.g. fruit in brine)

Missing or damaged baggage

It is possible to have smaller animals with you through security control and in the cabin, if your carrier permits this.

Different rules may apply for the country to which you are travelling, so please remember to check with your carrier.

The cage must be in accordance to IATA standard.
