You can avoid long waiting times at security control, enjoy greater comfort on board and help ensure your flight is on time, by having less carry-on baggage and carry-on baggage that does not comply with regulations.

To ensure this, once you are at the airport, we check the quantity, weight and dimensions of your carry-on baggage.

What happens if you have too much baggage, or non-compliant carry-on baggage?

• If your carry-on baggage is not within the specifications, it will be taken from you at check-in or when boarding at the gate and transported in the hold at a charge.
  Please note: charges for this are significantly higher than for pre-booked checked baggage and may only be paid by credit card.

• 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.

The following regulations apply to liquids in carry-on baggage for flights within the EU and connecting flights departing from the EU (including flights within Germany):

• Containers with liquids and gel-like products can contain up to 100 ml (maximum volume printed on container).
• A plastic bag (transparent, resealable, max. 1 liter) per person for all products.
• The bag is to be displayed separately during the security control.
• Liquid duty-free goods purchased at an international airport or on board an aircraft outside the EU may be transported in a tamper-evident, certified bag when transferring via an EU airport. The sales receipt must be in the bag, and the bag must be sealed at the point of sale.
• Medication and special foods (e.g., baby food) can be transported outside the plastic bag and are also to be presented for security control.

Items and bags that fail to meet the requirements cannot be taken on board.

Please take your liquids out of the carry-on baggage for the security control, and present them separately. In exceptional cases, liquids may be opened for inspection and removed from their outer packaging.

These regulations are laid down in legislation. Interpreting the EU regulation locally falls to the locally competent authorities. Discover Airlines has no say in this.
