Business and airBaltic Club VIP fares carry two cabin bags at 24 kg total. On a ticket issued under another airline's code the allowance is one cabin bag at 8 kg; on a codeshare or interline connection the other airline's rules apply, which is the case most people are caught by.
A bag packed to airBaltic's free limit (40 × 30 × 15 cm, longest side first) is compared against every other airline's free allowance, rotating the bag where needed.
