Laptop in carry-on luggage: what you need to know

On a regular flight, the guidelines allow you to carry one piece of carry-on luggage and another small bag.

1. At the control at the airport, it is required that you openly present technical devices and even put them in a separate box, which is then further screened.
2. For this reason, always keep the laptop handy, as you have to take it out of the bag.
3. Even if the laptop is carried in a special laptop bag, you must take it out of the bag.
4. Many airlines also do not allow a laptop bag to be counted as an additional bag carried. Find out in advance whether and in what form a laptop may be carried.

Laptop in hand luggage: the checklist

1. If a bag is needed for the laptop, which is larger than the maximum specification of the airline? Then you may not carry the laptop.
2. Does the airline prohibit the carrying of a laptop? Dann müssen Sie weiteres Gepäck aufgeben.
