Flying with Musical Instruments on Austrian Airlines

Musical Instruments as Carry-On on Austrian Airlines Flights

Provided your musical instrument does not exceed the carry-on baggage dimensions of 55 x 40 x 23 cm and the weight of 8 kg, you can take it with you without prior notification. [AMZ asins='B0CMR5YLMN,B01BGX82G8,B083TJQ1XN,B000T07XFG']

Additional Seat for Musical Instrument on Austrian Airlines

For a musical instrument exceeding carry-on baggage dimensions and/or weight, an additional seat must be booked for it. The cost of an additional seat is the currently valid ticket price.

Book your own ticket and the extra seat through a travel agent or one of our sales agencies, as this seat cannot be booked online. 

Should your musical instrument exceed the dimensions of the seat on the respective aircraft, it cannot be transported in the cabin but must be checked in. Please contact Austrian Airlines directly if you need more information.

Would you like to take your cello with you into the passenger cabin? Please make sure, that your musical instrument is packed in a hard-top case, in order to avoid damaging when securing on board (see illustration).
