Size
Each passenger is allowed one item of hand luggage which should not be bigger than the size indicated.
- 56 centimetres tall (approximately 22 inches).
- 45 centimetres wide (approximately 17.7 inches).
- 25 centimetres deep (approximately 10 inches)
Weight
The guideline is approximately 5kg for hand luggage. If you cannot easily lift your hand luggage above your head, it is probably too heavy.
Medicines
If taking medicines with you, try to keep in the original packaging. This will assist security to identify the medicines and will prevent delays.
Camera Film
The x-rays used to screen hold baggage should not affect most camera film. Film material over 1000ASA/31 DIN should be removed and offered for screening separately. |

Valuables
Keep your valuables such as jewellery and important documents safely stored in your hand baggage. It is a good idea to keep some money (local currency) on your person. Then, should you be separated from your bag, you will still be able to make payphone calls, pay for transport or purchase small items.
Laptops
Laptops should be removed from their bags for screening prior to boarding the aircraft.
Many laptop bags look similar which can cause confusion when leaving the aircraft. Put a keyring, sticker or other identifying mark on your bag so that you can be sure that you are leaving with the correct computer.
Liquids, Aerosols and Gases (LAGs)
Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) will enforce new rules that restrict the amount of Liquids, Aerosols and Gels (LAGs) that passengers may take on board in their hand luggage on international flights, to protect against the threat of liquid explosives. Please refer to our LAGs guidelines.
