Special baggage

Baggage policy

• Size and weight limits

  A bag that exceeds the measurement (length + width + height) of 158 cm, including handles and wheels is considered special baggage.
  

  The maximum weight of any checked bag is 32 kg. Items of baggage weighing more can be sent as cargo.

• Stroller, pram and child safety seats

  Stroller and pram

  If you are traveling with an infant or a child, age 2–11, you can check in a stroller/pram and child safety seat/car seat in addition to the baggage included in the ticket, free of charge. This also applies to SAS Go Light tickets.

  Strollers/prams that are two-piece models must be packed in two parts. 
  

  When checking in a stroller and/or a child safety seat you have to use a plastic bag or a suitable protective hard case to protect it. We recommend that you use a hard case to avoid any potential damage. Nothing else is allowed to be packed in the same plastic bag/case.  

  The check-in and pick up point for strollers and child safety seats differ between airports. At some airports they are checked in at the same bag drop/check-in desk as other bags, and at some airports you need to drop them off at the desk for special baggage. Ask at the airport.

  Child safety seat and car seat

  You can bring a child safety seat/car seat as checked baggage in addition to the baggage included in the ticket, free of charge. This also applies to SAS Go Light tickets.  

  If you want your infant, under age two, to sit in a child safety seat onboard, you have to book a child ticket. The child safety seat is secured to the seat next to yours. It can either be forward-facing or rear-facing. To reserve a seat for a child safety seat, please contact SAS Customer Service.

  You can conveniently take your sports equipment with you on SAS flights.
