Understanding Air France baggage requirements

🎒 Air France baggage weight limits for hand luggage

With Air France, your hand baggage allowance and weight restrictions depend on your travel class:

  • Economy: 1 hand baggage item + 1 personal item (Combined weight limit of 12 kg (26.4 lbs))
  • Premium, Business, Première: 2 hand baggage items + 1 personal item (Combined weight limit of 18 kg (40 lbs))

If your hand baggage doesn’t meet Air France’s maximum dimensions (55 x 35 x 25 cm/21.7 x 13.8 x 9.9 in), it may be placed in the hold, and additional fees may apply. Avoid the surprise and ship your bags with Nannybag! This will enable you travel hands free and get your luggage back upon arrival.

Extra items allowed in the cabin with Air France

Certain items don’t count as part of your baggage allowance. You can bring:

  • A jacket, coat, or umbrella
  • Duty-free purchases
  • Children’s accessories like strollers, car seats, or diaper bags

However, space is limited, especially for strollers. If you don’t want to risk your stroller being checked into the hold, ship it at one of our nearby relay points and pick it up directly at your destination.

Air France carry on liquids

Air France’s liquid restrictions can also catch travelers off guard. If you're carrying liquids, pastes, or creams, ensure they’re in containers of 100 ml or less, packed in a 1-liter transparent bag.

Connecting flights and changing airlines

Different airlines have varying baggage regulations, and if your trip involves a connecting flight, you may need to follow stricter guidelines. Why risk a bag being over the limit or not compliant with another airline’s rules? With Nannybag, you can easily send luggage items up to 20 kg each straight to your destination and avoid airport hassle or any unexpected baggage issues.

What is Air France's baggage policy for children?

For children aged 2 years and older, know that their baggage allowance is the same as an adult. The exact number and weight of baggage allowed then depends on your ticket type and travel class.
For children under 2 years:
If they are traveling with their own seat: they enjoy the same baggage allowance as outlined in their ticket.
If they are traveling on your lap: you can bring the following items for free:

  • On board: One hand luggage item up to 12 kg (26.4 lbs), with dimensions of 55 x 35 x 25 cm (21.7 x 13.8 x 9.9 in).
  • In the hold: One checked luggage item up to 10 kg (22 lbs), in addition to your own checked baggage.
