Rules for the carriage of basic passenger baggage
The ticket price includes 2 standard luggage pieces 80*50*40 cm with a total weight of up to 40 kg and hand luggage up to 5 kg in the bus cabin.
When purchasing a child ticket (% discount), the ticket price includes 1 standard piece of luggage 80*50*40 cm with a total weight of 20 kg.
In case the passenger exceeds the established baggage size and/or weight, the passenger pays an additional fee of €1.5 per kilogram for each excess weight, regardless of the direction of baggage transportation.
For the volume exceeding the above-mentioned norm, the carrier shall charge an additional fee for such baggage in accordance with the following formula for the volumetric weight of baggage (parcel):
(width * height * length) : 5000 = volumetric weight of the baggage (parcel)
For example:
The volume weight of a standard size suitcase is (80 * 50 * 40) : 5000 = 32 kg. If a passenger carries baggage in excess of the established volume, the following calculation is applied: baggage with a size of (90 * 80 * 50) : 5000 = 72 kg / volumetric weight. 72 kg - 32 kg = 40 kg.
40 kg * €1 regardless of the direction of baggage carriage = €40 surcharge
* Please note the permitted baggage dimensions. If you exceed the permitted size, the formula for calculating the volumetric weight of your baggage will be applied, which will usually be higher than the normal weight. Please check the size of your baggage in advance to avoid any misunderstandings.

(width * height * length) : 5000 = volumetric weight of the baggage (parcel)
