The 100 ml rule applies on Corsair flights: each liquid, gel, or paste must be in a container of 100 ml maximum. These containers must be grouped in a transparent, resealable plastic bag of 20 x 20 cm (one per passenger), for a total volume of 1 liter maximum.
Medications, baby food, and prescription dietary supplements are exempt, with presentation of supporting documentation.

How to add baggage after booking?
Corsair allows you to add checked baggage at any time until departure, via four channels:
- Online via your "My Booking" area (the cheapest option)
- By phone with customer service (7 days a week)
- During online check-in (up to 72 hours before departure)
- At the Corsair counter at the airport on the day of the flight (highest rates)
The earlier you anticipate, the more advantageous the rate. A bag purchased online more than 24 hours in advance can cost up to 130 € less than at the airport counter.
Which suitcase to choose for a Corsair flight?
For cabin baggage (55 x 35 x 25 cm max), a lightweight rigid cabin suitcase will allow you to optimize space while staying under 12 kg. For checked baggage, a 23 kg checked suitcase is suitable for Economy flights to the Caribbean or Indian Ocean. If you are traveling Business to Africa, a large rigid suitcase of 32 kg will be adapted to your allowance.
