photographic device, video camera or CD player

Keep in mind: to carry on liquids there are specific restrictions.

Exceptional Luggage
Voluminous or fragile Luggage
(for example, musical instruments) must be placed in the seat next to you: You will need to reserve and pay for this extra seat, as well as obtain authorisation from the airline. Please contact your airline for weight and size allowed on board.
Weapons and munitions
Not all airlines accept weapons and munitions, therefore we suggest you contact your chosen airline ahead of departure for their specific rules and regulations. When you show your weapon documentation at check-in, you will be given forms to fill out, which must be given to the Police to obtain necessary authorization. Depending on the airline, transportation of weapons may be subject to payment.
Sport equipment
The following are considered sport equipment:
bicycles, (packed with handle bars and pedals tied up)
surfboards and windsurfs (packed), ski equipment, snowboards and golf clubs
hunting guns and munition (cartridges including their dedicated container, must not exceed 5 kg total weight)
scuba diving equipment (empty oxygen tanks and torch without batteries inserted)
fishing equipment
We suggest you contact your airline to find out which of these they consider sport equipment, as well as their terms and conditions for transportation. Additionally, these items may require registration ahead of time.
Musical instruments
If your instrument exceeds the permitted hand luggage sizes, then it must be checked in the hold. To keep it protected, it should have a hard shell case.
Lost luggage
What to do if your luggage doesn’t arrive?
Immediately address the lost and found office located in the arrivals terminal.
