Taking a nice vacation with Martinair? Then, of course, you want to be able to take the necessary baggage with you both on your flight there and back! In this regard, it is important to know that the exact amount you can take with you at no charge depends on your final destination. We would like to inform you on this page of the various possibilities.

Carry-on baggage

For Carry-on baggage, baggage that does not have to be checked in for transportation in the belly of the aircraft, the following measurements and weight rules apply on board Martinair flights:

In addition, you may carry on one laptop and if you are travelling with a baby, one diaper bag of normal measurements.

• Trolleys are accepted as carry-on baggage if they fulfill the conditions above
• Are you taking along your toilet bag or beauty case as carry-on baggage? Make sure that there are no sharp objects in it, such as razor blades, nail scissors, and nail files. You must also take into consideration the most recent rules with regard to liquids and gels in your carry-on baggage.
