1. Edelweiss Cabin baggage (trolley or bag):
- Maximum dimensions: 55 x 40 x 23 cm
- Maximum weight: 8 kg

My Edelweiss baggage is too heavy, what happens then?
The weight limit for Edelweiss hand baggage is 8 kg. If your bag is heavier than this, it will have to be checked in, which usually incurs additional charges (particularly with the Economy Light fare).
Tip: We recommend checking the weight at home so you can check in with peace of mind.
