If you would like to take for example an MP-3 player, a portable CD player, a laptop or mobile phone with you in your hand baggage the security laws of the respective place of departure apply.

If the weight of checked-in baggage exceeds 32 kilos, it must be transported as cargo shipment.
cargo reservations
A child up to two years of age, paying 10% of an adult ticket price, is allowed to check-in 10 kilos of baggage.
Since carriers have different rules regarding checked and carry-on baggage on intercontinental flights, we kindly ask you to contact each carrier for information.
Please find additional information on items which are not allowed in checked-in baggage on the ticket cover or at Hightened Security Measures , considering that a carrier is not liable in case of any irregularities in their transportation. Information on excess baggage charge can be obtained at any Croatia Airlines sales office or at our General Sales Agents.
Baggage of unstandardized dimensions and weight, sports equipment, musical instruments and other baggage
On making your flight reservation don’t forget to specify the type of sports equipment, musical instrument or other unstandardized baggage you will be taking with you. Transportation of such baggage is charged according to special tariffs. Should it exceed the allowed limit of 75 kilos of weight, it has to be transported as cargo shipment.
So as to make sure your priceless musical instrument will not suffer any damage during the flight, we advise you to purchase an additional ticket for it so you can place it on a seat next to you.
Transportation of bicycles is not charged extra if the weight of the bicycle does not exceed the allowed weight of checked baggage. If it exceeds the allowed weight, €30 is charged for flights within Europe and €60 for flights outside Europe.
Transportation of golf and ski equipment is not charged extra if the weight of the equipment does not exceed the allowed weight of checked baggage. If it exceeds the allowed weight, excess baggage charge will apply. Please contact the nearest Croatia Airlines office for further information.
We also kindly ask you to contact our offices for information about the prices of transportation of other sports equipment.
