I want to know what I can transport for free

On your journey you may transport one small soft bag or backpack and one travel luggage item for free.

Label them with your name and address to avoid luggage mix-ups.

Small soft bags and backpacks

Your small soft bag or backpack is limited to one item with the following dimensions: 42 x 30 x 18 cm and weighing up to 7 kg.

Carry any valuable items in your small soft bag or backpack. Make sure you stow your small soft bag or backpack in the bus in such a way that it does not block the emergency exits (e.g. in the overhead compartments).
