How to best secure your valuables
It’s important to always carry your valuables with you or store them in your carry-on luggage—not in your checked baggage. You can also use a combination lock for your carry-on; these are ideal since there’s no risk of losing a key.
Once you’ve arrived at your destination and are out during the day, store your valuables in the room safe. If that’s not possible, ask at the hotel reception for access to a safe.
Also consider storing items separately. We recommend making copies of your passport and flight ticket and keeping them in a different location. Additionally, storing your documents in your personal travel assistant within the MEINE URLAUBERIA app can be helpful.
The MEINE URLAUBERIA app is free for Android and iOS at www.europaeische.at
Carry-on luggage size
Please note that there is no international standard for the size or dimensions of carry-on luggage. Weight and size limits may vary depending on the airline, travel class, and route.
Our tip: Check directly with your airline before departure.
Liquids in carry-on luggage
Containers with liquids, gels, and sprays must not exceed a maximum volume of 100 ml. All liquids must be packed in a transparent, resealable plastic bag with a maximum capacity of 1 liter. Each person is allowed to carry one such bag.
Liquids include: pastes, lotions, mixtures of liquids and solids (e.g. toothpaste, hair gel, beverages, soups, syrup, perfume, shaving foam).
Since January 2014, all liquids purchased at airports or from airlines worldwide in duty-free shops (even if over 100 ml) may be carried in hand luggage. For liquids not purchased duty-free, the above rules apply.
