Special Baggage Types

Special Baggage includes a wide range of items, such as mobility equipment, sports equipment, musical instruments, weapons and ammunition. As a rule of thumb, bulky bags that remain under the 32kg weight limitation but exceed the dimensional specifications of checked baggage are considered special baggage. Any item exceeding the weight limitation which is 32kg can only be accepted as cargo.

For baggage that exceeds the dimensional limitation of 158cm (62 inches) but weighs up to 32kg maximum, please check the table below:

Weight/ Dimensions	Small Up to 15kg and/or 1.40m	Medium 15-32kg and/or 1.41-2m*	Large 15-32kg and/or over 2m
Charge	35€	55€	80€

*Each item of Special equipment may not exceed 1.70m in length for flights operated by ATR aircraft.
