Transavia cabin baggage rules: liquids, extras and restrictions
All Transavia passengers can bring one small hand luggage item into the cabin free of charge.
Liquids carried in cabin baggage must comply with standard airport security regulations.
Each liquid container must be 100ml or smaller and fit inside a single transparent resealable bag with a maximum capacity of 1 litre.
At airport security, this liquids bag must be removed from your hand luggage and screened separately.
Passengers travelling with larger cabin bags should ensure their baggage stays within the 10kg combined weight limit.
If your baggage exceeds the permitted dimensions or weight, it may be transferred to the hold and additional airport charges may apply.
CabinCleared travel kits are specifically designed for cabin baggage compliance, helping make airport security faster and simpler.
Common cabin baggage mistakes to avoid

Bringing liquids larger than 100ml
-
Forgetting to separate liquids at security
-
Assuming overhead cabin bags are included on all fares
-
Exceeding the 10kg combined baggage limit
-
Arriving at the gate with unpaid oversized baggage
