Flying with Musical Instruments on Eurowings

Musical Instruments as Carry-On Items on Eurowings Flights

Musical instruments may be carried on board as hand luggage as long as they are no larger than a guitar and are packed in a soft case. [AMZ asins='B0CMR5YLMN,B01BGX82G8,B083TJQ1XN,B000T07XFG']

Buying an Extra seat for a musical instrument on Eurowings Flights

Larger musical instruments must be placed on an extra seat in the cabin.  An additional seat must be purchased at the regular fare price. The extra ticket will be charged the same price as existing ticket if booked by midnight on the same day; otherwise the flight fare on the day the private seat is booked will apply.

Exception: Double basses must be transported in a hard case and checked in as luggage. Due to their size, they may not be carried in the cabin.

Eurowings accepts no liability for musical instruments carried in the cabin.
All regulations apply to Eurowings flights with an EW or 4U flight number, regardless of the operating airline. For our partner airlines' flights, which do not have an EW or 4U flight number, the conditions of the respective airline apply. These can be viewed on the airlines' own websites. These partner airlines currently include Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Condor, United Airlines, Air Canada and All Nippon Airways.
