Air Europa Baggage Policy

Air Europa’s baggage policy varies by fare type, cabin class, route, and frequent flyer status. Below is a concise summary based on the latest available information:

Carry-On Baggage

All Passengers: One carry-on bag is allowed, not exceeding 55 x 35 x 25 cm (115 cm total linear dimensions) and 10 kg for Economy Class. Business Class allows 14 kg on domestic/European flights or two pieces (up to 18 kg total) on intercontinental flights.

Personal Item: One additional item (e.g., handbag, laptop bag, small backpack) is permitted, fitting under the seat, with max dimensions of 20 x 35 x 30 cm.

Exceptions: On ATR 72 aircraft, carry-on weight is limited to 8 kg and dimensions to 55 x 35 x 20 cm.

Liquids: Limited to 100 ml (3.4 oz) containers in carry-on, per security regulations.

Notes: Oversized or overweight carry-ons may be checked at the gate with a potential surcharge. Cabin space is limited, so some compliant bags may still be transferred to the hold.

Checked Baggage

• Lite Fare: No free checked baggage; additional bags cost €15–€50 within Europe or €50–€140 for intercontinental routes when purchased online (higher at the airport).
• Standard/Flex Fares: Typically one piece up to 23 kg (50 lbs) for domestic/European flights; some long-haul routes (e.g., Bolivia, Venezuela) allow two pieces up to 23 kg each.
• Max dimensions: 158 cm (height + width + length).

Business Class:

• Domestic/European: Two pieces up to 23 kg each.
• Intercontinental: Up to three pieces, each up to 23 kg (or 32 kg for routes like Brazil or New York).

Infants (under 2): One 10 kg carry-on bag and, if the accompanying adult has a checked baggage allowance, the same checked baggage allowance (e.g., one 23 kg bag). A foldable stroller is also allowed at no cost.

Maximum Bags: Up to 10 pieces per passenger (including free allowance). Excess requires cargo service.

Overweight/Oversized:

• Bags over 23 kg (up to 32 kg) incur a surcharge, available only via call center or airport.
• Bags over 158 cm are special baggage, subject to a fee (e.g., €150) and approval.
• Baggage over 32 kg is not accepted, except for approved mobility aids, musical instruments, or sports equipment.

Special Baggage

Sports Equipment: Included in allowance if within weight/dimensions; otherwise, fees apply (e.g., €75 for bicycles, scuba gear, or surf equipment).

Musical Instruments: Small instruments (under 115 cm) can replace carry-on. Larger ones require a hold fee (€150–€250) or an extra seat purchase.

Pets: Allowed in the cabin (except UK flights) for €25–€150, depending on route. Weight and size restrictions apply.

Prohibited Items: Appliances (e.g., TVs, microwaves) cannot be checked but may be carried in the cabin if within size/weight limits. Sharp objects, large sums of cash (over €10,000 undeclared), and certain foods are restricted.

Valuables/Art: Require a special value declaration or an extra seat purchase for cabin transport.

Excess Baggage Fees

Online Purchase: Discounted rates (e.g., €15–€50 for first bag within Europe, €120–€140 for South America).

Airport Purchase: Higher fees (e.g., €60–€160 depending on route).

Frequent Flyer Benefits: Air Europa SUMA Silver, Gold, Platinum, or SkyTeam Elite/ElitePlus members get one extra bag free, provided total weight stays within allowance.

Routes with Restrictions: No excess baggage allowed on certain routes (e.g., Almeria, Malaga, Valencia to America, or Spain/Europe to Bolivia).

Additional Notes

Code-Share Flights: Baggage allowance is indicated on the ticket. For multi-airline itineraries, the longest leg’s allowance typically applies.

Check-In Deadlines: 45 minutes for domestic/European flights, 60 minutes for intercontinental (90 minutes for Lima, 120 minutes for Caracas).

Baggage Issues: Report damages or lost baggage at the airport’s Air Europa counter before leaving, as claims are not accepted afterward.

Policy Variations: Rules may differ for flights operated by partner airlines or change frequently, so check your ticket or Air Europa’s website for specifics.

Recommendations

• Weigh and measure bags before travel to avoid fees.
• Purchase extra baggage online for discounts.
• Verify rules closer to your flight date, as policies may update.
