Handbaggage on departures from 15 June 2021
Per June 15, 2021, Transavia will introduce a new service for increased onboard comfort: passengers will be able to reserve cabin space in the baggage compartments for their hand luggage and will therefore be given priority for boarding.
With the introduction of the new service, passengers are no longer guaranteed to bring their hand luggage (55X35X25 cm) on board. In the baggage compartments above the seats there is room for 70 pieces of hand luggage. If the maximum number in the cabin is reached, the rest of the hand luggage will be placed in the hold.
If you want to make sure your hand luggage can be taken on board, you will need to purchase reserved cabin space. A personal item such as a small handbag or laptop bag (40x30x20 cm) can still be taken on board, free of charge and guaranteed, and should be placed under the seat in front of you.
The new service that combines hand luggage space with priority boarding starts from €5 per item per one-way flight.
At Corendon it is not possible to reserve cabin space for your hand luggage when flying with Transavia. You can make a reservation for your hand luggage via My Transavia. Here you can log in with your 7-digit Corendon reservation number, your last name and departure date. Click here to reserve cabin space for your hand luggage.

Can I take my tax-free purchases on the airplane?
All liquids, such as alcohol and perfume, purchased at EU airports or on board EU airlines are permitted if the liquids have been packaged and sealed in a bag in the shop or on board the aircraft. You must be able to verify that the liquids were purchased on the day of the flight, and the seal on the bag must be unbroken.
Stopover/flight change and tax-free shopping
If you are making a stopover or layover at a European airport and are required to leave the aircraft for a short period of time, you must take your carry-on luggage with you. You are not permitted to leave it in the aircraft.
Tax-free liquids purchased at an airport outside of the European Union will be confiscated at European airports. Even when they are sealed. This also applies to purchases made on board of non-European airlines. Please take this into account.
Can I bring medicines and baby food in my carry-on luggage?
You are always permitted to take medicines and baby food that you need during your travels in your carry-on luggage. However, you must be able to prove that you need the medicines during the trip.
Prohibited items
Which items are always prohibited in both carry-on and checked baggage?
With respect to flight safety on board, the following items are prohibited:
- Hazardous materials
- Guns and ammunition
- Sharp, pointed weapons (objects)
- Blunt objects
- Explosives and flammable materials
- Chemicals and toxic materials
Import Duties
Traveling abroad is often a reason to buy presents and other articles. You are recommended to know which rules apply. You are permitted to import a maximum of € 430 of goods purchased outside of the EU to the Netherlands tax-free. If the total amount is higher, you are required to pay import duties and VAT. Limits exist for tobacco and alcoholic beverages. If you exceed those limits, you must pay import duties, sales tax, and taxes. Some items are not allowed to be imported under any circumstances, such as endangered species of animals and plants, drugs, and weapons. If you do, these items will be confiscated. You also risk paying a steep fine. For additional information, go to www.douane.nl.
Imitation Brands
It is prohibited to import imitation brand articles to the Netherlands. Customs will confiscate these items and you will be fined.
Brand articles are imitated in order to piggyback on the success of the brand article (intellectual property fraud). Items commonly imitated are shoes, clothing, handbags, expensive watches, illegal copies of cds and dvds, and perfumes. If traders abroad offer you so-called brand articles at extremely low prices, you can almost always be sure this is illegal trade or fake items.
Exceptions
It is prohibited to take and import imitation articles. However, it is permitted to take a very small amount of imitation articles for personal use. The amounts of certain categories of imitation articles you are allowed to take with you (according to guidelines by the Public Prosecution Service) are listed below.
3 watches, 250 ml perfume/eau de toilette, 3 music cds and dvds (only if they are different titles), no software and games, other goods (such as clothing and toys) 3 items/pairs.
If the customs officer finds items exceeding the quantities for the category listed above, they will confiscate all items in that category and you will be fined.
NB!
These exceptions only apply if you are a traveller taking the goods yourself. If imitation articles arrive in the Netherlands per post or courier, the imitation articles will be confiscated and you could face prosecution.
Customs
A trip abroad is an ideal opportunity to buy souvenirs, gifts or other items. Before you shop fanatically at a holiday destination outside the European Union (EU), it is important to check whether your potential purchase complies with Dutch customs rules. After all, you are not allowed to take everything home with you. The regulations apply to all countries outside the EU such as Turkey and islands in the Caribbean including Curaçao. The Canary Islands are an exception and are also covered by the regulations for countries outside the EU.
Almost everyone knows that you cannot bring protected species or coral. But there are also customs rules for food (including dairy and meat), drinks and the number of cigarettes you can bring. With the free Douane Reizen App/Customs Travel App (Dutch only), you can easily check what is allowed back home with you and avoid confiscation and possible fines.
1. Purchases over € 430
2. Counterfeit articles
* The type and quantity of products show that you have no commercial (ulterior) intentions
* You occasionally bring counterfeit products into the Netherlands
For example, it is plausible that you buy 3 counterfeit brand T-shirts for yourself. But if you bring 30 counterfeit brand T-shirts or several video cameras, it is more likely that you want to resell them. If Customs suspects that you want to resell products, they will confiscate them. The rights holder will also be notified. This is the official brand whose counterfeit products you have taken. They may decide to take legal action.
3. Cigarettes and tobacco
* 50 cigars or
* 100 cigarillos or
* 250 grams of smoking tobacco
4. Alcohol
* 2 litres of liqueur wine/sparkling wine, such as champagne or 1 litre of spirits
* 1 litre of spirits, such as whisky, cognac and gin
A combination of these last 2 groups of drinks is allowed, as long as you do not have more than 2 litres in total.
5. Obligation to declare cash, cheques and securities
Customs Travel App (Douane Reizen App)
Want to bring home another specific purchase? Then use the free Douane Reizen App/Customs Travel App (Dutch only) to check whether it complies with Dutch customs regulations. Still in doubt? Post your question or photo of your purchase on the Customs Facebook or Twitterpage using #magditmee as hashtag. The customs officers will find out for you.
