Frequently asked questions

Can I take musical instruments with me as hand baggage?


We will allow musical instruments on board as hand luggage if they are the same size as or smaller than a guitar, and in a soft case.

Musical instruments that are larger than a guitar will only be carried on board if they occupy an private seat. Click here for the charges for carrying larger musical instruments.

Given their length double basses are not allowed in the cabin.

Germanwings assumes no liability for the transport of musical instruments in the cabin.

On flights operated by our partner airlines their hand-luggage conditions apply.
