Special baggage

Sports equipment

Varies

Air France applies item-specific transport and fee rules rather than one universal sports allowance.

More details

• Its current guide separates golf, ski, surf, scuba, hunting or sport-shooting, fishing, hockey or lacrosse, cycling and scooter equipment.
• The relevant item page and operating carrier must be checked before travel because reservation, packing, allowance and fee treatment can differ.

Musical instruments

Allowed

An instrument may use the normal cabin allowance if it stays within 55 × 35 × 25 cm, travel in the hold, or—after prior approval—occupy one or more purchased seats.

More details

• The limit is 46 kg / 101 lb per seat.
• Hold transport can trigger oversize charges, and Air France recommends a hard case with rounded edges.

Medical equipment

Allowed

Acceptance and onboard use depend on the device and its power source.

More details

• Personal medical devices relying only on external power may be carried in the cabin but not used there; medical gas cylinders up to 5 kg require prior approval, while liquid oxygen is prohibited.
