When travelling with Austrian Airlines, you are entitled to free carriage of at least 1 piece of small hand luggage.
Hand luggage
All Economy fares include one standard hand luggage and one personal item free of charge.
- 55 x 40 x 23 cm up to 8 kg
- 40 x 30 x 10 cm up to 2 kg
Business class passengers can carry 2 larger hand luggage items and 1 small item of the previous size.
If you bring more than one bag into the cabin, you will incur a check-in fee of 75 eur.
Checked baggage
Checked baggage is not included in the lowest fare on European "Economy Light" flights. You can buy your baggage later online for a fee of 30 eur per trip in Europe, or from 60 eur upwards on a long-haul flight.
If you want to travel with checked-in baggage, it is always more cost-effective to buy the more expensive "Economy Classic" fare or higher, where checked-in baggage is always included.
