On flights within Europe the fee for checking sports equipment is €40, one way, if paid online, or €50 at the airport or by telephone. Some items, such as bicycles, must be booked by telephone.
Musical instruments under 55 x 40 x 24 cm can be carried as hand luggage, and larger items, such as a guitar, can be carried on board if an additional, window, seat is purchased for it. Even larger items can be checked into the hold, on payment of a special handling fee.
