Our notes on Atlantic Airways
Atlantic Airways allows hand luggage of up to 55 × 40 × 25 cm and 8 kg, plus a laptop bag on top. The 25 cm depth is a little more generous than the 20 or 23 cm used by many European airlines.
The allowance is the same on LOW, FLEX and FLEX+ tickets; what changes between them is checked baggage, with one 23 kg piece on LOW and two on FLEX and FLEX+. Atlantic Airways warns that when the amount of hand luggage is too large for the space on board, some bags may be placed in the hold. On flights from Vágar, the 8 kg applies to the main piece, and the laptop bag is listed on top of it.
