You may transport your musical instrument on any of our flights, provided it is in a secure hard case. Instruments may be transported either as checked baggage or carried with you in the cabin.

When a stringed instrument is transported by air, it is exposed to dramatic changes in temperature and pressure, which can cause its headstock to crack or snap off. To prevent possible damage, it is your responsibility to ensure that the strings are loosened so that the tension is reduced. 
 

Carriage as checked baggage

Instruments carried as checked baggage will be subject to the policy regarding special baggage and will be charged at the corresponding rate (weight/ dimensions table).

You will be asked to sign a Limited Release Form when you check in the instrument, agreeing that the musical instrument is being carried entirely at your own risk.
 

Carriage in the cabin

If you wish to take the instrument with you into the cabin of the plane, it will be counted as hand baggage. Its dimensions must not exceed 56cm in height x 45cm in length x 25cm in width, and it must not weigh more than 8 kilos.

If the musical instrument exceeds these limits and you wish to carry it with you in the cabin, you must contact the AEGEAN call center to book an extra seat on the same ticket, at the same fare and in the same booking class. The extra seat may be either Economy (only for Flex, Family & ComfortFlex fares) or Business class. The charges are paid through the call center.

The musical instrument dimensions must not exceed the following:

• On Airbus aircraft, a maximum of 150cm in height x 22cm in length x 42cm in width if the musical instrument is placed on the floor, or 110cm in height x 60cm in length x 42cm in width, if placed on the seat.
• On DH8-100 & ATR aircraft, a maximum of 135cm in height x 40cm in length x 28cm in width if the musical instrument is placed on the floor, or 90cm in height x 40cm in length x 50cm in width, if placed on the seat.

Bookings for weapons / ammunition [sporting/hunting guns, pistols, rifles plus ammunition (according to IATA DGR Regulations and if packed in a separate bag)] can be made only through the AEGEAN call center, upon relevant approval.

The following restrictions apply for weapons:
