Other rules

Regional exceptions may lead to a higher free baggage allowance in Economy Class, they are reflected in your ticket or booking confirmation.
Other rules and tariffs may apply on flights operated by our partner airlines (Codeshare).
If you combine an Austrian Airlines flight with those of another carrier, please note that this airline's rules will also apply to Austrian flights if operating the longest or most significant part of the journey. Therefore we kindly recommend you to check your free baggage allowance stated on your ticket or on your booking confirmation. In this case the weight concept might also be applicable - then your free baggage allowance is based on the total baggage weight and the number of pieces is not restricted, e.g. 20K (for 20kg) 30K (for 30kg).
According to US-DOT and CTA (Canadian Transportation Agency) regulations, it is the first carrier stated on your ticket who defines the baggage rules applicable to the entire journey.

Note: The airline may have partnerships with other airlines and your flight may be operated by another airline. For journeys to/from the U.S., the baggage allowances of the airline that ticketed the first segment of your travel should apply throughout your travel. For travel that does not involve the U.S., you should check with the operating airline for information about their baggage allowances; the other airline's baggage allowances may be more restrictive and you could be charged for extra baggage by the other airline.
