Luggage on a FlixTrain

Due to limited space on board our FlixTrains, make sure to check the luggage allowance (incl. max dimensions) in advance. Should you require extra luggage, make sure to book it online as early as possible. Please note that items exceeding the permitted dimensions count as special luggage and must be booked through customer service.

Your FlixTrain ticket includes the FREE transportation of:

For safety reasons, you must stow your carry-on bag underneath your seat, or in the overhead compartment above your seat.  

Note: Carry valuables (identification, electronics, etc.) with you in your carry-on bag.

1x Checked Bag

Your luggage must not be bulky nor endanger or disturb the safety and order of the establishment or other travelers. You should be able to load, unload, and reload all luggage yourself.

Please stow your luggage in the overhead compartment or under your seat. You are solely responsible for looking after your own luggage.

We strongly recommend to clearly label all luggage with your name, address, and telephone number. If you need a luggage tag you can download and print one here.
