Luggage

Printable packing checklist

You can take a maximum of 10KG cabin luggage (maximum size is 55cm x 40cm x 20cm) and 15KG checked in luggage. We will not be allowing any excess baggage regardless of whether you are willing to pay the fine. Try to keep some spare allowance for anything you'd like to bring back with you. 

Make sure you pack all liquids (shower gel, shampoo, deoderant, etc.) in your checked luggage as you cannot carry liquids over 100ml on the plane. Any liquids you do have in your cabin luggage must be under 100ml and packed in a clear plastic bag. More details on what you can and can't carry on the plane.
