Carry-on baggage must fit within 56 cm x 45 cm x 23cm in size. Some Air Nostrum aircrafts are smaller so there may be some limitations as to what you can take with you in the cabin. In this case, your luggage would be placed in the luggage hold for you to collect upon arrival.
In addition, passengers are permitted one personal item. For example, items such as a laptop case, handbag, umbrella or camera.
