Special Baggage Types

The transport of musical instruments is allowed on all Olympic Air flights, as baggage or as carry-on luggage (maximum 8kg).  In all instances, the instrument must be carried in a safety case (hardcase).

In order to transport a musical instrument as hand luggage, its dimensions and weight must not exceed the allowance for hand luggage (maximum weight of 8 kilos, maximum dimensions cm 55 x 40 x 23).  If however, the musical instrument exceeds this allowance but nonetheless you wish to carry it in the cabin,  you must request the booking of an additional seat next to yours while making your reservation. The charge for the additional seat will be identical to that for your seat, less the tax and other charges, will be paid at the time that passenger’s ticket is issued.

The maximum dimensions of the instrument should not exceed: cm 140 x 58 x 32 if placed on the cabin floor and cm 110 x 42 x 50 if placed on the seat. If you choose to transport your musical instrument as baggage, you will be asked to sign a document in which you agree that you assume the responsibility for the transport (Limited Release Form).

For codeshare flights not operated by Olympic Air aircraft, please contact the respective carrier's website for details on baggage allowance.
