General baggage rules are:
The permitted free luggage allowance weight is shown on your ticket. In general, the following rules apply: Economy class passengers can take aboard up to twenty kilograms and 30 kg for business class passengers. Babies usually have the right only for 10 kg luggage.
Hand luggage: you can take a bag with dimensions: 55x35x25 cm and weighing no more than about 8 kg. Size and weight may vary for different companies.
Travel to the United States and Canada:
In general, most airlines serving flights to the United States and Canada allow a free baggage weight to 23 kg and a maximum of 158 cm (length + width + height). This concept is called the PC (Piece Concept). For some companies, the surcharge is $ 50, - for the second piece of luggage each way. Air France, Northwest Airlines, KLM and Martinair take on average about 50 Euros for an extra piece of luggage in Europe. The same rules apply other airlines such as: Air Canada, Continental Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Jet Airways, Delta Airlines, American Airlines, United Airlines, U. C.
An important change of the airlines baggage policy:
As of 28 Mar 2010 most airlines changed their baggage policy and introduced the piece concept as general.
What does this new concept mean:
• Each passenger is entitled to one piece of free baggage allowance up to 23 kg (with a maximum of 158 cm (length + width + height).
• Second piece of luggage up to 23 kg (or sports equipment) charged additionally. By KLM and Air France you should pay 55 euro’s in one direction and by Martinair - € 100 each way.
• For the third piece (or more) up to 23 kg (or sports equipment), the price is 200 euro’s a piece in one direction.
• If the weight exceeds 23 kg but less than 32 kg, the price is 100 euro’s in one direction (some Airlines 50).
• Baggage weighing more than 32 kg must be transported as cargo.
• For members of the frequent flyer programs such as SkyTeam Elite and Elite Plus the second piece of luggage is free of charge.
For travelling from America to Europe these amounts are quoted in USD (CAD in Canada).
Currently this concept is applied by almost all airlines, but to be 100% sure you have better to contact the Airline directly.
Low cost airlines:
Note: Most budget airlines apply for checked baggage fee as a surcharge. The fee is around € 20 in one direction but can vary widely depending on the airline. Refer to the low cost airline for more specific information.
What happens to my luggage, if the route includes different airlines?
If your whole trip is put on one ticket there is a partnership agreement between the airlines involved. This is needed to enable them to transfer your luggage and assist you in cases of flight irregularities. If traveling with one airline only, it takes full care of transportation of your luggage to the final destination. If your last flight is international and the next one domestic, generally you should need to get your luggage at the destination point of your international flights and pass the customs control before transiting to the domestic flight. This is including the United States and South Africa.
If you are traveling with several airlines and you have separate tickets for each one of them, you must always take care of your luggage at each airport yourself.
What should I know about travelling with presents for other people?
In view of the flight safety regulations all your baggage will be controlled for dangerous or prohibited items, and if necessary manually as well. This applies to both hand- and checked baggage and everything contained therein, whether present or not is subject to the safety rules.
What are the safety rules relating to cabin and hold baggage?
As of November 6, 2006 for all passenger using air transportation in the European Union (EU) new rules for hand luggage were implemented. More precisely the amount of the fluid that each passenger was allowed to carry with him in the cabin was limited. These rules apply to all passengers departing from EU airports, regardless of their destination.
Packing the luggage
Only a limited amount of liquids are allowed in your hand luggage. These liquids must be in individual containers (bottles) with a maximum capacity of 100 ml. each. These containers must be packed in a transparent, resealable plastic bag with no more than 1 liter capacity.
At the airport
You will have to show the plastic bag containing liquids for control at the security check desk to the security staff. They will be examined separately.
You have to remove laptops and other electronic devices from your hand luggage. They will be examined separately as well.

aerosol, pressurized containers including shaving foam, other foams and deodorants;
gels, including shampoos and shower gels;
pastes, including toothpaste;
creams, lotions and ointments;

Note: Not all airlines have online seat booking facilities. And the policy of the airlines, that do have it, in this regard varies considerably. With some airlines you can take a seat immediately when completeing the booking, by others - within 90 days before departure, and by some - only a few days before the flight. For reservations of seats in special cases, such as for disabled passengers, please contact us.
How long before the flight should I be at the airport?

For intercontinental flights we recommend to be at the airport at least 3 hours before the flight.

If there is a self check-in, you can print your boarding card yourself. You can identify yourself with passport or ID card. The airline may ask you to confirm your reservation by showing the print out of it or to show your credit card if you have used it to purchase your ticket.
In most cases you can register (check in) on the website of the airline itself, using airline reservation number and / or ticket number which you can find in the e-mail confirmation of your reservation. You book your seat for yourself, print your own boarding pass and thus avoid queuing and waiting at the airport. Depending on the airline and the destination on-line registration (check-in) is available from 2 weeks to 3 hours before the flight.
What does mean the text: your seat on the plane can only be confirmed at the check-in?
This means that you cannot pre-book seats. This can happen only during your registration (check-in) at the airport by the airline itself.
