Baggage Policy
Air France has a baggage policy that outlines the maximum size and weight allowances for checked and carry-on Baggage, as well as any additional fees that may apply. Air France's baggage policy is designed to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of passengers and their belongings. Therefore, following the size and weight allowances and additional regulations can provide a smooth travel experience with Air France.
Carry-on/Cabin Baggage Policy
Passengers are allowed one carry-on bag and one personal item, such as a purse or briefcase. The maximum weight for the carry-on bag is 12 kg (26 lbs), and the total size is 55 x 35 x 25 cm (21.7 x 13.8 x 9.9 in).
