Air France 2020 Baggage Allowance
If you’re travelling on a flight with Air France soon, you can find out everything you need to know about Air France baggage allowance, restrictions, fees and charges.
Air France 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 must not exceed 40cm x 30cm x 15cm. The total combined weight of your cabin baggage and accessory must not exceed 12kg if you are travelling economy or 18kg if you are travelling business class.
Additional items you may take on board the cabin:
- Jacket, coat or other clothes you are wearing
- Umbrella
- Duty-free items purchased on your flight or at the airport
- Accessories for children such as a collapsible stroller*, car seat, diaper bag (see the Family and children section of the website)
- Medical equipment (collapsible wheelchair*, crutches, etc).
Please note:
- Garment bags and “Yoyo” strollers are considered a standard hand baggage item, not an accessory.
- For safety reasons, any equipment designed for children to sleep horizontally (convertible bag that serves as a bed, inflatable mattress placed in front of the seat, etc.) are not permitted onboard Air France aircraft.

Air France Sports Equipment and Special Baggage
Air France permits a wide range of sporting equipment, musical instruments and other exceptional items on flights. Special baggage under the standard checked baggage allowance can be considered as such and can be transported in the hold. However, items that exceed these restrictions may require permission from Air France customer service.
Some musical instruments can even be transported as cabin baggage if an additional seat is purchased on the flight. Prior approval from Air France customer service is required, and the weight per seat must not exceed 46kg. Or, instruments can be checked for a fee.
