Cabin baggage

At Turkish Airlines, our priority is to make our passengers as comfortable on their travels. For this reason, we take into account all the baggage needs of our passengers and offer numerous cabin baggage options. When you are traveling with Turkish Airlines, you can take baggage along with you in the cabin, as long as it does not compromise security and meets our weight and size criteria.

In accordance with coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic measures, cabin baggage rules have been temporarily amended to maintain social distance and reduce movement around the cabin. One piece of cabin baggage per economy class passenger, not to exceed 8 kg, and two pieces of cabin baggage per business class passenger, not to exceed 8 kg will be carried in the cargo compartment free of charge. At this time, one personal item per passenger, not to exceed 4 kg, is permitted in the aircraft cabin.
