Flying with Musical Instruments on ArkeFly

Musical Instruments as Carry-On

Provided that musical instruments do not exceed the usual size and weight for hand baggage (dimensions 55 x 40 x 20 cm, weight up to 5 kilos), they can be carried in the cabin. Those wishing to take with them an instrument that exceeds the usual dimensions for hand baggage must contact the TUI fly Service Centre to obtain permission/confirmation.

Cellos, violins etc. can be carried, if and as required, by booking an additional seat in the cabin (subject to security screening).

Musical Instruments as Checked Baggage

These instruments are to be carried only in the hold and must be properly packed (i.e. in a hard-shell case). If the instrument’s weight exceeds the free baggage allowance, it may be carried in the hold for a flatrate charge of EUR 65.00 on international flights (GBP 44,58/USD 74,31).
