Special and Oversized Baggage

You can take all kinds of special baggage with you. Because of limited space on the aircraft, you need to reserve for the transportation of some types of special baggage as early as possible – no later than 48 hours before departure.

Baggage and Transferring

If the ticket you bought for your trip includes a transfer on a connecting flight in less than 24 hours, your check-in baggage will usually be sent to your final destination. The baggage claim tag that you receive when dropping off your baggage always states your bag’s final destination.

When transferring, you do need to collect your baggage and check it in again for your connecting flight, if:

• You have purchased 2 or more tickets from different airlines that have dissimilar conditions;
• You transfer is from an intercontinental flight to a domestic flight (for example in the United States);
• You arrive at one airport, and your connecting flight departs from another airport;
• Part of your journey is by bus or rail; and
• When transferring at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol or Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, depending on your ticket conditions, it may be possible to collect your baggage, however possibly against a fee.
