Hand luggage (carry-on)

Maximum measurement: (55x40x25cm) Weight: 8 kg + laptop bag

If the amount of hand luggage exceeds the capacity onboard, we reserve the right to relocate some of the luggage to the cargo hold of the aircraft. Extra hand luggage or oversized hand luggage may be taken from the passengers at check-in. It will be weighed, marked with the destination of the passenger and placed in the cargo hold with the rest of the luggage.

Read this before you pack your hand luggage (carry-on):

Containers, tubes, cans and the like can contain max. 100 ml. each. You can bring 1 liter of liquids or similar in hand luggage.

All containers must be packed in a transparent, 1 liter bag that can be opened and closed.

Liquids include: gel, makeup, perfume, toothpaste, water, shaving cream etc. If in doubt, ask at the airport before departure.

You are allowed to carry medication you require during the flight in containers larger than 100 ml. However, we recommend that you bring a medical certificate confirming that you need the medicine.

Food / liquid for babies is also allowed on the flight. 

Baby food / liquid, diet and medicine must also be packaged in the transparent 1 liter bags that can be opened and closed. These can be subject to additional control by airport security staff.

PLEASE NOTE: Always bring medicine with you in the hand luggage to make sure you have access to it in case of any delays.

Guidelines for checked bags

We recommend that all luggage be marked with the name and telephone number of the passenger. Luggage must be packed in a way that it can withstand normal luggage handling. The luggage must be able to withstand touching other luggage on the baggage conveyor belt and to be loaded in and out of the aircraft.

Passengers are personally responsible for packing the checked luggage in such a way that the contents remain unharmed. According to the Montreal Convention, the passenger is responsible for any damage caused by the airline if the luggage is packed recklessly, for example, if a bottle containing liquid breaks and causes damage to other luggage.

Checked bags

We do not accept luggage that weighs more than 32 kg/piece. The weight limit does not apply to electronic wheelchairs and other specific luggage that cannot be taken apart. For example diving equipment, large instruments or living animals in the cargo hold.

We recommend that the items mentioned below not be included in the checked luggage due to the restricted damage liability in the case of lost or damaged luggage:
Do not include valuables such as: money, jewellery, computers/equipment, gaming equipment, camera/video camera and mobile phone.

Fragile Items:

Glas and bottles

Glasses/Sunglasses

Restricted bags

It is the responsibility of the passenger to ensure that the luggage does not contain anything that could endanger or damage the aircraft and people or cargo onboard the aircraft. Some such items are listed on the international list of dangerous good under the heading “Mere om forbudte genstande” on the webpage of the Danish Ministry of Transportation, Trafikstyrelsen.

PLEASE NOTE: It is the responsibility of the passenger to ensure that the luggage is sensibly packed and does not contain banned items.

The passengers are liable to pay any fine or additional charge the airline receives in connection with travelling with animals.

Animal transport in the cabin

Small pets (cats and dogs) are allowed in the cabin under special conditions. Animals that can be transported in the cargo hold are not approved for transportation inside the cabin. The cabin is limited to transport two animals per flight. Therefore it is necessary to inform us if you are planning on travelling with the animals in the cabin.

Two animals are allowed in the same cage provided that the animals are very familiar to each other in advance. The animals must be transported in an IATA approved crate. Maximum allowed weight for animal and crate is 8 kg with the maximum measurements 40 x 25 x 23 cm.

We recommend the so-called “sherpa bag” which is flexible in size. The external measurements may be bigger than the size of the crate if it can be compressed within the maximum measurements while simultaneously allowing the animal enough room within the crate. Sherpa bags can be purchased in most pet shops.

Animals travelling in the cabin will be considered as one piece of luggage.

PLEASE NOTE! A charge of DKK 199 applies per animal travelling in the cabin.

Animal transport in cargo hold

This type of transport is limited to two animals per flight. Two animals are allowed in the same cage provided that the animals are very familiar to each other in advance.

Animals (cats and dogs) travelling in the cargo hold must be at least 8 weeks old-

PLEASE NOTE! The animal must stay in the crate from check-in until pick-up at the arrival airport.

Crates for animals in the cargo hold: You are responsible for obtaining an IATA approved transport crate designated for pets. Steel cages are not allowed. The crate must be made from solid material in addition to being waterproof and clean. The crate must be large enough to allow the animal to stand upright, turn around and lay down in a natural position. We recommend that the passengers secure the door of the crate with plastic strips prior to check-in and to check that the crate is intact. Damaged crates will be rejected at check-in.

Maximum crate measurements are 150 x 70 x 70 cm (LxWxH). The weight limit of 32 kg does not apply when the animals are transported in the cargo hold. The crate must be marked with the mobile phone number of the owner in a place visible at all times.

NO WHEELS. If the crate has wheels, they must be removed or secured with tape in such a way that the crate cannot roll backwards and forwards.
