Air France - Everything you need to know.

Cabin Baggage

Your cabin baggage allowance is determined by your travel cabin. Passengers are permitted to carry onboard one or two cabin baggage items, depending on the travel cabin, as well as one accessory, such as a handbag, a briefcase, or a small bag for a notebook computer. Your travel cabin is shown on your booking and on your ticket.

Your cabin baggage must not exceed 55cm x 35cm x 25cm. Your accessory item must not exceed 40cm x 30cm x 15cm. If you are travelling economy, the total combined weight of your cabin baggage and accessory must not exceed 12kg or 18kg if you are travelling business class.

Additional items you may take on board the cabin:

• Umbrella
• Jacket, coat or other clothes you are wearing
• Duty-free items purchased on your flight or at the airport
• Children's accessories such as a collapsible stroller*, car seat or diaper bags (see the Family and children section of the website)
• Medical equipment (collapsible wheelchair*, crutches, etc).

Please note:
