Bed Box
Since January 15, 2020, the transport of a Bed Box is no longer allowed on any of our destinations.

On board, the use and charging of these devices are strictly forbidden for the entire duration of the flight.
What if my baggage exceeds the allowed weight?
If your cabin baggage exceeds the authorized weight and dimensions, we will be obliged to ask you to pay an additional fee, payable by credit card only, at the extra baggage rate. In case of refusal to pay, you will have to leave your baggage with the Baggage Claims service. If you refuse both the payment and the deposit of your baggage with the concerned service, you will not be allowed on board.

Regulated Items for Cabin Transport
To comply with air transport safety regulations, we invite you to carefully review our recommendations for preparing your baggage.
Many items and packages are not permitted for air transport, while others must follow specific packaging requirements to be accepted (especially hidden dangerous goods).
Since the airline's liability is limited in case of loss/theft or damage, additional insurance may sometimes be necessary. Click here to learn more about insurance.

Depending on the nature of the items, their location, packaging, or quantity, passengers may be required to place them in the hold for safety reasons (as is the case with blunt objects, liquids, gels, aerosols, etc.) or, conversely, keep them in the cabin for security reasons (such as lithium batteries, electronic cigarettes, flammable gases, etc.).
REMINDER: “Ball-shaped” baggage is not permitted.
Note: Despite all our efforts to provide the best service every day, delays in the delivery of checked baggage may occasionally occur. To avoid inconvenience, please keep essential items such as keys or medication with you or in your cabin baggage.
