1On flights from the USA, in accordance with TSA (Transportation Security Administration) regulations, passengers are allowed to take only one item of carry-on baggage and one personal item through security control, regardless of travel class or status. Any additional item of carry-on baggage must be checked in before the TSA check. This also applies to connecting flights after arrival in the USA. The relevant terms and conditions of the operating air carrier apply.

In addition to your carry-on baggage, you can take the following items into the cabin free of charge in every travel class:
- All travellers: 1 small personal item of baggage, max. 30 cm (L) x 40 cm (H) x 15 cm (W), e.g. a handbag or laptop bag.
- Per child: 1 child seat or 1 booster seat or 1 cot or 1 pocket buggy.
- Passengers with limited mobility: mobility assistance such as a wheelchair or orthopedic aids.
Carry-on baggage that is too large or too heavy is taken from the check-in or gate and transported in the hold for a fee. At the gate, the fee is higher than in the check-in hall and only payable by credit card. The amount depends on your route and is between EUR 60 and EUR 110/USD 75 and USD 125. Your carry-on baggage will be checked for dimensions, quantity and weight at all departure airports.
It may also be necessary due to limited onboard storage space to load compliant carry-on baggage into the cargo hold on fully booked flights. If this is the case, we will inform you in advance by email and give you the option of dropping off your carry-on baggage free of charge at check-in.
In both cases, please remove all valuables, important medication, and all devices powered by batteries or rechargeable batteries (e.g. smartphones, tablets, laptops, power banks or e-cigarettes). These must be carried in the cabin.
- For bigger carry-on baggage such as trolleys, please use the stowage compartment above your seat.
- Please store personal items such as laptop bags, shopping bags and handbags under the seat in front of you.
- You can easily hang coats and jackets on the cloakroom hook on the seat in front of you.
- Please note that the stowage compartments above the emergency exit rows are reserved for the passengers sitting in these rows.

Allowable limits for liquids and gel-like products:
What are the rules at security control?
- Take your liquids out of your carry-on baggage and present the bag separately.
- In exceptional cases, liquids are opened for inspection and removed from their outer packaging.
- Items and bags that do not meet the requirements are not allowed on board.
What exceptions are there?
The following items may be carried outside the 1-liter bag:
- medicines and special foods such as baby food. Please present both of these at security control as well.
