Tunisair's baggage policy varies based on travel class and destination. Here's a comprehensive overview:
Carry-On (Cabin) Baggage
- Economy Class: 1 piece, up to 8 kg
- Business Class (Espace Privilege): 2 pieces, combined weight up to 10 kg
- Dimensions: Maximum 115 cm (sum of length, width, and height), including handles and wheels
Note: Bulkhead seats lack under-seat storage; therefore, all carry-on baggage must be stowed in the overhead bin during take-off and landing.
Checked Baggage Allowance
Tunisair follows the "Piece Concept," with allowances varying by route and class:
Between Tunisia and Europe, North Africa, and Libya
- Economy Class: 1 piece, up to 23 kg
- Business Class: 2 pieces, each up to 23 kg
Between Tunisia and the Middle East or West Africa (including Mauritania)

Each checked bag must not exceed 158 cm in total dimensions (length + width + height).
Excess Baggage Fees
Fees for excess baggage depend on the route and the nature of the excess (weight, size, or number of pieces). For example, on flights between Tunisia and Europe:
- First additional piece (≤23 kg): TND 75
- Second additional piece (≤23 kg): TND 150
- Overweight fee (23–32 kg): TND 50

Fees increase for other regions such as the Middle East and North America.

- Children paying at least 50% of the adult fare: Same baggage allowance as adults
Transporting Pets
- In-Cabin: Pets (dogs, cats, birds) weighing up to 8 kg (including the container) are allowed in the cabin, subject to a fee
- In Hold: Pets over 8 kg (up to 32 kg) can be transported in the cargo hold, subject to applicable fees
Note: Assistance dogs for passengers with disabilities travel free of charge.
Prohibited Items and Liquids
- Prohibited in Cabin: Explosives, fireworks, compressed gases, radioactive materials, toxic substances, corrosive substances, flammable liquids, sharp objects, weapons, and lithium battery-powered devices (e.g., hoverboards)
