Carry-on bag
A small piece that fits under the seat or in the overhead compartment. Keep documents, medicines, money and electronics there.
FactBaggage
What you can take in the cabin and in the hold, how to avoid excess charges and which items should not be checked.
Checked bag
It is handed over at the counter and travels in the hold. The pieces and kilos included depend on the fare; some economy fares do not include it.
FactExcess baggage
It is charged by extra kilos or pieces. Weigh your suitcase at home: paying at the airport usually costs more than buying it in advance.
Watch outSpecial baggage
Instruments, sports equipment, bicycles or boards need advance notice and may have their own fee.
FactFragile items
Money, jewelry, documents, medicines and electronics go with you in the cabin: airlines limit their liability if they are lost in the hold.
Watch outRecommendations
Label your suitcase with your name and phone, take a photo of it and carry a change of clothes and the essentials in the cabin in case it is delayed.
RecommendedThe information is for guidance only: the exact conditions (weight, dimensions, ages, documents and costs) are set by each airline and each destination country and may change. Confirm with TUCUAM before buying or traveling.
