Oversized bags (up to 300 cm/118 inches) incur additional fees, ranging from €25 to €300 depending on the route and overage. Bags over 32 kg are not accepted as travel baggage and must be shipped via Air France Cargo.
Excess Baggage Fees: Additional bags cost €50–€300 depending on the route, with discounts if purchased online at least 24 hours before departure. Overweight or oversized bags incur fees at check-in, typically €25–€300 based on the excess and itinerary.
Flying Blue Benefits: Flying Blue Silver, Gold, Platinum, or SkyTeam Elite members can check one additional bag (up to 23 kg for Economy/Premium Economy, 32 kg for Business/La Première) at no extra charge.
Carry-On Baggage:
Allowance: Business Class passengers are allowed 2 carry-on bags (max. 55 x 35 x 25 cm including handles and wheels) and 1 personal item (e.g., laptop bag, purse, max. 40 x 30 x 15 cm). The combined weight of carry-on items must not exceed 18 kg (40 lbs).
Exceptions: Items like jackets, duty-free bags, or small foldable strollers (max. 15 x 30 x 100 cm) do not count toward the carry-on limit. Infants under 2 without a seat can have one carry-on bag (up to 12 kg, 55 x 35 x 25 cm) and one checked bag (up to 10 kg).
