Carry-On Items:
Guidance for Carrying on Baggage and Other Items
Most travelers are permitted to bring one full-size carry-on piece and one personal item (purse, umbrella, camera, etc.) aboard aircraft.
- If your itinerary involves an airline that is not already listed, you will also be subject to that airline's baggage policies. This includes codeshare flights, which are where two or more carriers join operations of the aircraft using ANA flight numbers. For passport details, see Codeshare Baggage Information.
- Please be forewarned that if it cannot be determined whether or not an item can be transported by aircraft prior to the time of departure, an item may be refused for transport.
- If you have checked in any baggage (hand luggage, baby stroller, jute bag etc) over the below size, you may check in any baggage in the below size only in that occasion (if your luggage is not suitable for carrying into the cabin).
- If you have carried and/or you do carry on any baggage over carry-on baggage allowances, this may result in the delay of or cancellation of your flight(s). To ensure a Comfortable and safe journey and passing through security was as smooth as possible, if you have luggage to check in that is over your carry-on bag allowances, we always recommend CHECKING-IN baggage over carry-on bag allowances BEFORE passing through security.

How much baggage is allowed on airlines?
Varies by airline & ticket type – Baggage allowance will differ by airline, ticket type, travel class, and the route.
Two main types—airlines generally classify baggage into cabin baggage (carry-on) and checked baggage.
Cabin baggage (carry-on)—Most airlines allow you to carry on one small suitcase or bag, plus a personal item (e.g., laptop bag or handbag). The size and weight restrictions differ by airline.
Checked baggage—
Economy class – Usually 1 piece weighing 20–23 kg.
Premium economy, business, or first class—often 2 or more pieces, usually up to 32 kg each.
Low-cost airlines — Many low-cost carriers only include carry-on baggage in the ticket price; checked baggage usually costs extra.
Best advice—always check your airline’s baggage policy before you travel. That will help you prevent any extra fees and help you travel with a smooth, stress-free experience.
SAS International Travel Policy—Highlights
Verify entry requirements—As a passenger, it is your personal duty to know the entry and transit rules for the country you will be travelling to. Rules vary based on your nationality.
Carry the correct paperwork—you must have all the necessary travel documents, including a valid passport or any accepted photo ID.
Names on tickets must match ID—The name on your SAS ticket must be identical to the name found in an official identification document. If they do not match, you may be denied boarding.
Luggage allowance—The amount of luggage you are allowed is determined by your flight ticket type and class of travel and is subject to change. Before you fly, always check SAS’s luggage rules.
Food & beverages—Meals and beverages will usually be included on intercontinental flights. On most European flights, you can purchase food and drinks on the plane.
Restricted Items in SAS Baggage:
When traveling with SAS, there are some items that are restricted or not allowed due to safety reasons. Here are some things you should know before packing:
Explosives and fireworks—All explosive materials are strictly prohibited, including fireworks, flares, and sparklers.
Flammable items—gasoline, lighter fluid, paints, and any other highly flammable and combustible liquids or solids.
Compressed gases—Gas cylinders, butane, propane, or other pressurized containers cannot be carried unless there is a medical necessity for the pressurized gas and it has been approved.
Corrosive substances—Corrosive materials, including some strong acids, bleach, and other strong cleaning agents, due to possible dangerous results of a leakage.
Weapon(s) and firearms—Guns, ammunition, and similar items are either restricted or have very strict regulations depending on the country being traveled to. Pre-approval is usually required.
Sharp objects—Knives, scissors, and other sharp tools must go into checked baggage and cannot go into carry-on baggage.
Lithium batteries – A spare lithium battery has limitations and must be carried in hand luggage only.
Conclusion:
Knowing the baggage policies airlines have is one of the best ways to guarantee a smooth travel experience without stress. Among some of the cleaner policies are those of airlines like ANA and SAS with respect to checked and carry-on allowances and size and weight limits. They also define the size and nature of restricted items, and even if the details about your flight are confirmed a few days before your flight, it is to your advantage to understand the rules beforehand to avoid incurring a sudden fee and, more importantly, unwanted delay and inconvenience at the airport.
Use common sense and understand that for a ticket class and type, you'll need to know the baggage rules, especially if you are flying on codeshare routes and with a number of different airlines. By preparing early and packing smart, you'll stand a better chance at enjoying the journey and forgetting about the luggage.
