Special luggage

Taking your skis, bike or golf bag on holiday? Read all about taking special luggage on your flight!

If you’re heading off to do winter sports, going on a cycling holiday, or if you wish to bring a musical instrument, you might be taking special luggage on board. We also call it ‘alternative luggage at Transavia’ or special luggage at Transavia’. Special luggage such as a wheelchair, golf bag, kite surfing bag, diving equipment, sports weapon, medical baggage or Transavia winter sports luggage needs to be registered prior to your flight, ideally during booking. Each flight can only take a limited quantity of luggage. This is a way of being certain that your special luggage can come on board. You can also register your special luggage later on via My Transavia, provided that you have not checked in online or in person. Once you have checked in, it is no longer possible to amend any aspect of your booking. You can also take a bicycle on board with Transavia, since just like golf bags or kite surf bags, bicycles fall under special luggage. Plenty of options are available regardless of what you wish to take on board. This page contains information on what is and what is not permitted, along with which items you can bring with you as hand luggage. Please also read the rules applying to certain equipment and items. Once you’ve booked in your special luggage and checked all the rules, it’s time to check in. Check in as early as possible to allow time for the luggage screening.
