IMPORTANT NOTICE
In the interests of your safety and to reduce movements on board, we recommend that you check in your cabin bag, free of charge, and only board the plane with a small bag or briefcase.
You can take one carry-on bag and one personal item.
Because of limited capacity in the aircraft cabin, exceptionally on busy flights some carry-on baggage may be removed and stored in the hold at no extra cost. If your carry-on baggage is larger than standard it will be placed in the hold and you may have to pay an additional charge.
The Iberia Regional Air Nostrum aircrafts are smaller so there may be some limitations as to what you can take with you in the cabin. In this case, your luggage would be placed in the luggage hold and be available for collection upon arrival.
