Checked Baggage
In your cabin bags, please only pack the things you might need throughout your journey and items which cannot be transported in checked baggage, such as valuables, important documents and medication. You will make boarding and disembarking the aircraft easier for yourself and your co-travellers.
Please note that the size and number of cabin bags are checked by the handling staff at gates before boarding.
Place all additional items inside your cabin bag or small personal item. All cabin bags go into the overhead lockers, while small personal items are stored under the seat in front of you.
The storage capacity is limited. Once it is full and we have no space on board, for safety reasons, we will need to check in your cabin bag or small personal item to the aircraft hold, even if you have not exceeded your baggage allowance, and transport it free of charge.
Children with a reserved seat may bring on board cabin baggage as per the conditions of the price package under which their ticket has been purchased same as adults.

Luggage carriers — light-weight wheeled carts or harnesses on which luggage could be temporarily place or that can be temporarily attached to luggage — date at least to the s, such as in US patent 2,, "Luggage carrier" by Anne W.
Newton filed , published Patents were published for wheeled luggage — a wheeled trunk in , and a wheeled suitcase in — but these were not successfully commercialized. The first commercially successful rolling suitcases was invented in , when Bernard D. Sadow applied for a patent that was granted in as United States patent 3,, for "Rolling Luggage". These were invented in by US pilot Robert Plath, and initially sold to crew members. Plath later commercialized them, after travelers became interested after seeing them in use by crew members, and founded the Travelpro company, which marketing the suitcases under the trademark "Rollaboard".
While initially designed for carry-on use to navigate through a large terminal , as implied by the analogous name, similar designs are also used for checked baggage. More recently, four-wheeled luggage with casters has become popular, notably since their use by Samsonite in the version of their signature Silhouette line. These are often referred to as "spinner" luggage, since they can spin about their vertical axis. Sadow attributes the late invention of luggage on wheels to a "macho thing" where "men would not accept suitcases with wheels".
Some vehicles have an area specifically for luggage to be held, called the automobile "trunk" in the United States. Items stored in the hold are known as hold luggage. A typical example would be a suitcase. If travelling by coach passengers will often be expected to place their own luggage in the hold, before boarding.
Aeroplanes in contrast are loaded by professional baggage handlers. Passengers are allowed to carry a limited number of smaller bags with them in the vehicle, these are known as hand luggage more commonly referred to as carry-on in North America , and contain valuables and items needed during the journey. There is normally storage space provided for hand luggage, either under seating, or in overhead lockers. Trains often have luggage racks at the ends of the carriage near the doors, or above the seats if there are compartments. There are differing views between North America and Europe in relation to the rules concerning the amount of baggage carried on to aircraft.
In North America there is considerable debate as to whether passengers carry too many bags on board and that their weight could be a risk to other passengers and flight safety. US airlines are beginning to introduce weight and size restrictions for carry-on baggage. Whereas in Europe, many airlines, especially low-cost airlines, impose what is commonly known as "the one-bag rule". This is a restriction imposed to stop excessive weight on board and airlines claim that this policy allows them to speed the boarding of the aircraft.
Airports in Europe have mounted a campaign with the European Commission in an attempt to overturn these hand luggage regulations. Smart luggage is baggage that has a built-in or a removable battery within. Several smart luggage companies have shut down as a result of a ban which came into effect in January on smart luggage with non-removable batteries being carried as check-in luggage on flights.
In airport terminals, a baggage claim or reclaim area is an area where arriving passengers claim checked-in baggage after disembarking from an airline flight. At most airports and many train stations, baggage is delivered to the passenger on a baggage carousel. Left luggage, also luggage storage or bag storage, is a place where one can temporarily store one's luggage so as to not have to carry it. Left luggage is not synonymous with lost luggage. Often at an airport or train station there may be a staffed 'left luggage counter' or simply a coin-operated or automated locker system.

With higher threats of terrorism all around the globe, this type of public storage is disappearing. Luggage forwarding , also known as luggage shipping or luggage logistics , is a type of speciality shipping service that has been available for approximately 10 years and has grown in demand, particularly after the September 11, attacks.
Luggage forwarding is an alternative to checking in baggage during air travel. Baggage can also refer to the train of people and goods, both military and of a personal nature, which commonly followed pre-modern armies on campaign. The baggage was considered a strategic resource and guarded by a rear guard.
