You have the option of taking your musical instrument with you in the cabin. Depending on the weight and size, you can carry it with you as hand luggage or you must buy an extra ticket. You can also take your musical instrument with you as an additional bag and check it in.

Please ensure that your musical instrument is packed in a hard protective case with as little room for movement as possible and with good padding. This is the only way we can ensure that it will not be damaged during carriage in the cargo hold. This also applies to musical instruments that cannot be accepted in the cabin as hand luggage and have to be loaded at short notice. Traditional transport cases are not suitable for carriage.

Please ensure you contact our Service Centre if your musical instrument exceeds dimensions of 55 x 40 x 23 cm and/or a weight of 8 kg. You must then buy an additional seat. This must be booked at the same time as you book your own ticket. Prices for taking your musical instrument with you depend on the ticket prices available.

Musical instruments that you wish to book to take with you in the cabin must not exceed the following size and weight specifications:

• 155 x 42 x 25 cm (height x width x depth) for musical instruments that stand on the floor in front of the seat;
• 110 x 42 x 50 cm (height x width x depth) for musical instruments strapped to the seat; and
