Baggage

The new regulations in detail:

1. Liquids or comparable products with a similar consistency (such as gels, sprays, shampoos, lotions, creams and toothpaste) are only allowed in limited amounts and are to be carried in individual containers.
Containers holding liquids may not exceed 100ml and must be carried in a transparent, re-sealable, plastic bag with a maximum capacity of one litre. There is no limit to the number of containers enclosed in the bag as long as the bag is sealable. Only one bag per person is allowed. The bag must be removed from the hand luggage at the security checkpoint so that it can be x-rayed separately.

It is important to note that only re-sealable bags (e.g., those customarily found in stores with a “zip-lock”) will be accepted.
It is strongly advised that passengers purchase these bags in advance and that they be packed at home with the desired liquids or similar products to be taken in the hand luggage.

Medications and other dietary items (e.g., baby food) that are necessary on board during the flight do not need to be enclosed in a plastic bag. However, passengers must still present these things separately from their hand luggage at the security checkpoint and may have to give plausible reasons for their need.

2. Sealed bag procedure for alcohol and cosmetics purchased at Duty Free Shops
Duty-free items that have been purchased on the day of the flight, in a store that is located past the boarding pass checkpoint at an EU airport or on board an EU airline’s aircraft, are permitted to be taken through the security checkpoint if they are enclosed in a member. A receipt with the date of purchase and store location must be contained within the bag so that it can be read from the outside.

This procedure allows for duty-free shopping even if the security checkpoint is located at the gate. It also makes transferring to other airports within the EU easy with duty-free goods. The bag of items must remain closed throughout your entire journey.

Please note that there are special regulations for flights to the USA.
 

Free baggage allowance and special items

In addition to the 8kg of hand luggage allowed (dimensions of bag not to exceed 55 x 40 x 20cm or 57 x 54 x 15cm for a foldable suit/dress bag), all Cirrus Airlines passengers are permitted to check 20kg of luggage if flying in the Economy Class and 30kg of luggage if flying in the Business Class.
Miles & More Senators and Frequent Travellers can check an additional 10kg, regardless of the class they are booked in.

Unfortunately, we cannot confirm before departure whether sporting equipment (e.g., bicycles and golf bags) will be transported. If space permits it will be transported as part of your free baggage allowance or for a fee.

Dangerous Goods

Due to an EU regulation which went into effect on 1 February 2004, the following items cannot be taken into the cabin on flights originating from Germany:
Rifles, firearms and weapons, pointed/sharp weapons and sharp objects such as knives, scissors (including nail scissors and manicure sets), ski poles and walking sticks; blunt instruments that can cause injury, such as golf clubs, billiard cues and fishing rods; explosives and flammable substances; chemical and toxic substances that are harmful to the health of passengers or crew or that represent a risk in terms of the technical and general safety of the aircraft and property.
 

Banned items in checked baggage:

Banned items include but are not limited to:
Explosives, gases, flammable substances, reactive substances, lighters, oxidising substances and organic peroxides, toxic or infectious substances, radioactive materials, corrosive substances including car/vehicle batteries and engine parts that have contained gas.

This list can be extended at any time. Certain flights may have additional regulations. It is therefore necessary to review IATA’s rules and regulations concerning dangerous goods.

Please pay attention to the instructions posted at the airport’s check-in counters. The ticket counter is under no legal obligation to retain left information or materials.
