To ensure the safety of all passengers and the crew, all baggage transported on flights is subject to inspection by airport authorities. Certain objects may be transported provided they meet specific requirements, while others are strictly prohibited by aviation safety regulations.

Before traveling, we recommend that passengers carefully check the rules applicable to both carry-on baggage (small suitcase, purse, or backpack taken aboard the aircraft) and checked baggage. Some items may have restrictions regarding quantity, size, or packaging, especially liquids, sharp objects, electronic equipment, and potentially hazardous materials.
