Baggage Allowance

Cabin baggage (also known as carry-on luggage or hand luggage) refers to the bags passengers are allowed to bring into the aircraft cabin, rather than checking them into the cargo hold. Size and weight limits for carry-on bag can be seen in the table above. If cabin storage is full, you will be asked to check in your cabin baggage for free at boarding.

The cabin baggage allowance depends on the fare category you selected when booking your flight (Economy Light, Flex, Family, ComfortFlex or Business, Business Basic). It is not possible to add an extra carry-on bag, however you can purchase additional checked baggage, any time up to two prior to your flight’s scheduled departure.

 A personal item (e.g., a handbag, laptop bag, or small backpack) is allowed but must fit under the seat in front of you. 

Yes, essential medications are allowed. If liquid medication exceeds 100 ml, you may need a prescription or a doctor's note – please verify with the AEGEAN call center.
 

Infants (0 - 2 years old):

• Carry-on Bag: Allowance includes one personal item or carry-on bag with maximum dimensions of 55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm and a weight up to 6 kg.
• Infant Car Seat: If the infant occupies their own seat, an infant car seat (maximum base dimensions of 40 cm x 40 cm) is required.
