Luggage allowance on flights to/from London

* The aircraft used by Iberia Regional Air Nostrum are smaller than those used by Iberia, therefore the maximum weight allowance and size are lower.
**The US authorities report that, due to safety restrictions, all passengers travelling into/out of the US can only carry one piece of hand luggage and 1 other personal item on their outbound flights from US.
***On flights with origin, transfer or destination USA, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Canada this restriction only applies to the size of hand baggage (55cmx40cmx20cm)



Travelling with other airlines

If you are travelling on IB7XXX or IB5XXX, IB4XXX flights or flights operated by an airline other than Iberia or Iberia Regional Air Nostrum, please check your hand luggage allowance with that airline before travelling.
