Can I take a backpack in addition to my cabin bag?

The 100 ml rule applies on board Corsair flights: each liquid, gel, or paste must fit 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.

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 via 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 plan, the more advantageous the rate. Baggage purchased online more than 24 hours in advance costs 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 hard-shell cabin suitcase will allow you to optimize space while staying under 12 kg. For the hold, a 23 kg travel suitcase is suitable for Economy flights to the Caribbean or Indian Ocean. If you are traveling in Business to Africa, a large 32 kg hard-shell suitcase will suit your allowance.
