Please note: Our hand baggage rules for flights booked under the BASIC fare will be changing from 31 August 2021. From this date, each passenger has the right to take one small item of hand baggage whose dimensions do not exceed 40 x 30 x 25 cm.

For passengers who booked their BASIC fare flight before 31 August 2021, the previous hand baggage rules apply: You may take a large item of hand baggage (55 x 40 x 23 cm up to 8 kg) on board free of charge. There is no guarantee that you will be able to take this with you on board. If you booked the “2 cabin bags and priority boarding” service, you can take an additional small item of hand baggage measuring 40 x 30 x 10 cm.

Yes, a music instrument can always be taken into the cabin (all fares) as long as it does not exceed the dimensions of a small item of hand baggage (40 x 30 x 25 cm). If your music instrument is larger than a small item of hand baggage, you can book a large item of hand baggage (55 x 40 x 23 cm) in addition to the BASIC fare. The SMART and BIZclass fares already include the large item of hand baggage. You can check the hand baggage regulations for your fare at any time using the following link. Please remember that a music instrument that you wish to take into the cabin is counted as one item of hand baggage. If you take your music instrument with you on the BASIC fare and it is the size of a small item of hand baggage, please remember that a second item of hand baggage is not included free of charge. In order to take another item of hand baggage weighing up to 8 kg, you can book the “2 cabin bags and priority boarding” service.

The following music instruments can be taken into the cabin as hand luggage, even if they slightly exceed the maximum size: clarinets, flutes, bugles, oboes, violins, trumpets.

Larger music instruments (such as guitars) in a soft case can only be transported in the cabin on an extra seat. You can find out more about the charges for transporting large music instruments from our table of charges.

Exception:

Double basses must be transported in a hard case and checked in as luggage. Due to their size, they may not be carried in the cabin, which is why it must be checked in as a normal item of luggage.

Extra seat

You can book an extra seat for your cabin baggage till 24 hours before departure from 10€ per seat and routes depending on availability. Please notice that the booking of an extra seat for carrying extra hand baggage (e.g. music instrument) is only possible via the call center or the station.

Each booking gives you access to a certain number of free downloads, which varies depending on which fare you booked. Of course, you always have the option of purchasing other digital newspapers and magazines as well.

Now you can enjoy digital travel media throughout your flight. Since 1 March 2014, electronic devices such as tablets can remain switched on and be used in flight mode during all stages of your flight (taxiing, take-off, flight, landing), as described in the FAQ "What electronic devices can I use on board?". This gives you the opportunity to download your digital magazine or newspaper from the Eurowings Travel Media portal before take-off.

The number of free downloads applies to each individual booking, regardless of the number of passengers booked. There is no legal entitlement to this service.

Media Carrier GmbH, Muthmannstr. 1, 80939 Munich, Germany, is responsible for all provision and sales of digital media.

You can check in with your mobile phone at the earliest 72 hours and at the latest 3 hours before departure. You can check in with your mobile phone for domestic flights at all German departure airports and at many other European departure airports even up to 40 minutes before departure.

How it works:

1. Use the mobile services homepage, the "Check-in" item or the "Manage flights" area in the main menu to check in with your mobile phone.
2. You will need your six-digit booking number and the surname under which the booking was made.
3. During the check-in process you can choose whether to receive your boarding pass by SMS or email, or whether you would prefer to save your boarding pass in Passbook/Wallet or in the Eurowings app for iPhone or Android.

If you have a My Eurowings account and are registered to use our mobile services, under "Check-in" you will find an overview of flights for which you are now able to check in.

There are various options available for checking in:

1. Airport check-in service

All passengers who purchased their flights up to 31st March 2020 are entitled to free of charge airport check-in service. However passengers flying on Eurowings flights who purchase their tickets post 1st April 2020 might not have airport check-in service included free of charge within their fare benefits.

As a general rule, passengers holding BASIC bookings do not have this service included as their fare benefit, while passengers holding any other fare have the option to check-in at the airport free of charge. For more details on fare entitlements please visit the following page.

Some categories of passengers have the option to check-in at airport counter without any additional fees regardless of the purchased fare. See the full list here.

All passengers who do not have airport check-in service included as a free of charge option within their fare entitlements and who do not perform online check-in (or self check-in at one of our self service machines, where available) might incur a fee of EUR 5 per passenger per flight. Mentioned fee could be paid in credit card only (at either check-in counter or service counter, depending on technical equipment). Do note that cash payments are in general not accepted (even though they might be accepted in certain specific cases at a dedicated Eurowings service counter). Non-compliance with detailed rules and instructions might result in denied boarding for the passenger.

2. Self-service check-in

Passengers can use our convenient self-service check-in option at Dresden, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover, London Heathrow, Munich, Stuttgart and Vienna airports.

Here too, your hand luggage must not weigh more than 8 kg or exceed the maximum dimensions of 55 x 40 x 23 cm.

If you would like to take larger or heavier luggage with you, you can use our baggage drop-off counter. This is much faster than the check-in counter, as this counter is only available to those dropping off luggage.

3. Web check-in

On the "web check-in" page you can check in comfortably and free of charge from your office or from home. This option has the clear advantage of saving time and stress, as you can check all travellers in at the same time. All you need is your six-digit booking code or your etix® ticket number and a printer.

4. Mobile check-in

The Eurowings mobile services allow you to check-in free of charge whilst on the move using just your mobile phone with an internet connection.

If you are unable to check in online, we recommend you to go through the following check-list:

• Double check if web check-in is available for your flight. Online check-in service is unfortunately not yet available on all the airports we fly to.
• Verify if it’s the right time to check-in. As a general rule, the service is made accessible from 72 hours up to 3 hours prior to your flight’s departure, but some exceptions do exist.
• Make sure that the information you are inserting when initiating Web Check-In are an exact match to what is indicated on your flight booking confirmation.
• Get acquainted with the airline that operates your flight. For example, if your itinerary involves flights exclusively or partially operated by one of our partner airlines, you might have to Web Check-in via partner airline’s website. This should be indicated within your booking confirmation we sent you via email (most often with the subject “Your Lufthansa Group booking”).
• Do you remember requesting or purchasing one of our special services (e.g. travelling with your pet in cabin, purchasing an extra seat for comfort, travelling with reduced mobility, transporting weapons & ammunition or similar)? If so, do note that online check-in might be prohibited due to different safety and technical requirements.

But expanding a fleet like ours takes more than just a few months. So, in the meantime, we will be relying on our strong, renowned partner airlines.

That is why certain aspects of our offer may be modified for some Eurowings flights. This applies to both the range of on-board services and cabin design. Of course, we will bring you to your destination safely and on time. We hope you enjoy the flight. Thank you for your understanding.
