Rules to know

  • Basic Economy fares include a personal item only. A full-size carry-on needs a higher fare or elite status.
  • Gate staff use a bag sizer and enforce the limit. Bags that do not fit are charged at the gate.

A standard 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) bag is larger than the airBaltic carry-on limit.
