Place all additional items inside your cabin bag or small personal item. Cabin baggage and small personal items that exceed the maximum permitted amount, size and/or weight will be transported as checked baggage for a fee in the aircraft cargo hold.
Storing Cabin Baggage on Board
All cabin bags go into the overhead lockers, while small personal items are stored under the seat in front of you. The storage capacity is limited. Once it is full and we have no space on board, for safety reasons, we will need to check in your cabin bag or small personal item to the aircraft hold, even if you have not exceeded your baggage allowance, and transport it free of charge.
Benefits of purchasing overweight and/or extra baggage ahead of time:
- The highest fee is charged at the gates.
- It is only possible to pay by credit cards at the gates.
- Payments in cash are only possible at the nearest desk which accepts cash payments
- If the passenger misses the flight, we are not responsible for extra rebooking costs.
- If the passenger is unable to pay the fee, we are authorised to exclude them from transport.
Cabin Baggage of Children and Infants
Infants travelling on an adult’s lap may not travel with their own cabin baggage. Children with a reserved seat may bring on board cabin baggage as per the conditions of the price package under which their ticket has been purchased (same as adults). Additional information is available under the Travelling with Children section.
Prohibited Items and Liquids
Please ensure that no Prohibited items are packed in your cabin baggage.
Information regarding the transport of liquids on board are available under the Liquids in cabin baggage section.
If your flight is operated by an airline other than Czech Airlines, the cabin baggage transport rules may vary. Please contact the ticketing agent or the operating carrier for additional information regarding cabin baggage allowance on your flight
