Due to massive media and customer interest about whether airBaltic is to follow this new trend, we can confirm that we will be watcing this new trends closely, and evaluating if it makes sense to introduce paid hand luggage, or not.

Today hand luggage is free of charge on airBaltic flights. If a customer currently purchases his/her ticket for next year and hand luggage is included as a free-of-charge service, then it will remain as free-of-charge service, regardless of potential changes in the future luggage fees.
