How to prepare your checked baggage?
Dangerous Goods

Diving tanks are accepted in the hold. They must be fully emptied and uncapped and are included in the checked baggage allowance.

For hygiene and safety reasons, certain goods are strictly prohibited on board, whether in the cabin or in the hold. You are fully responsible if you transport one or more of these undeclared dangerous items at check-in.
