How to bring a bouquet of flowers?

Question

Accepted Answer

A bouquet of fresh flowers in soft packaging may be carried in the cabin in addition to the hand luggage allowance without weighing or payment. A rigid box or container with flowers is treated as a separate piece of hand luggage and must comply with the established limits: 40×30×20 cm, up to 10 kg.

Travel tip

Bouquets larger than 40×30×20 cm may not fit on the hand luggage rack or under the seat. Holding a bouquet in your hands for the entire flight is uncomfortable. Therefore, bulky bouquets are better checked in as baggage — this is free of charge. If necessary, pack the bouquet in advance.

Frequently asked questions about carrying flowers

Can I carry potted houseplants?

Yes, but they are treated as the main piece of hand luggage and must comply with the limits. The pot with the plant must be securely packed.

How should I pack a bouquet so that it does not get crushed in the cabin?

Wrap the stems in a damp cloth and place the bouquet in kraft paper or a thin bag. If you place the bouquet on the rack, it is better to put it on top of other items so that nothing presses on it.
