Specific Rules:
- Sports Equipment: Bicycles (handlebars fixed, pedals removed, tires deflated, packed in a protective box/bag), skis, snowboards (max 3 pairs/boards per person, 32 kg), golf bags, and surfboards/bodyboards are accepted with advance registration. Fees: €30–€60 online, €40–€75 at airport if exceeding allowance. E-bikes are prohibited due to battery restrictions.

Measure bags (small: 40 x 30 x 25 cm; large: 55 x 40 x 23 cm, 8 kg; checked: 158 cm, 12–32 kg) and weigh them at home. Reddit users note strict weighing at check-in (e.g., 9.4 kg carry-on rejected).
Prepay baggage online (up to 2 hours before departure) for up to 50% savings (e.g., €9–€60 vs. €18–€75 for checked bags).
Use soft-sided bags for flexibility, as gate agents are strict with sizers. A Reddit user paid €48 for a slightly oversized bag.
For BASIC fare, add a large cabin bag with priority boarding (€18+) to avoid gate-check fees.
For codeshares (e.g., Lufthansa, United), confirm MSC rules, as Eurowings may not honor partner allowances (e.g., one bag vs. two for Senator status).

Report at the airport’s Eurowings baggage tracing office or via the online Baggage Self-Service form for a Property Irregularity Report (PIR). Damage must be reported within 7 days, delays within 21 days. Keep boarding passes and baggage receipts.
Compensation follows the Montreal Convention (max 1,288 SDRs, ~€1,500/$1,800). Emergency purchases for delays are reimbursed up to €30/day for 3 days with receipts.
Declare high-value items at check-in (5% surcharge) to increase liability limits.
