Some special items are not suitable as check-in luggage due to their nature and you must request permission to carry them in the cabin. Such luggage should be stored in the closed overhead compartments or under the seat. If it cannot be placed in the locations mentioned, it will be treated as cabin luggage and you will be charged for an extra seat, including:
- One infant's carrying basket, fully collapsible stroller, pushchair, car seat or CARES harness. A small fully collapsible stroller can be stored in the overhead compartment if there is space available. A large stroller can only be accepted as checked baggage.

A cello, accepted as cabin luggage and stored on the passenger deck, cannot block the walkway to an emergency exit; for example, window seats behind a partition are not recommended. Nevertheless, a cello can be accepted in the row in front of the partition only on the condition that passengers have free access to an emergency exit.
