OFD Ostfriesischer-Flug-Dienst baggage allowance
GermanyAs a regional carrier operating small turboprop aircraft, OFD has stricter baggage limits than larger airlines. Exact baggage allowances (checked baggage weight, piece limits, and cabin bag dimensions) are not detailed in the airline's directory listing.
Passengers must contact OFD directly to confirm current baggage policies:
| Item | Limit | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Checked baggage (quantity & weight) | Contact airline | Verify with reservation |
| Cabin baggage | Contact airline | Verify with reservation |
| Personal item (small bag) | Contact airline | Verify with reservation |
Regional turboprops have limited cargo space; weight distribution and total aircraft load are managed strictly. Oversized or heavy baggage may incur additional fees or be refused.
Why are baggage limits stricter on regional flights?
Small turboprop aircraft have limited cargo capacity and strict weight-and-balance requirements. Excess baggage affects fuel burn, performance, and safety margins, especially on short regional routes. Always confirm limits in advance.
Can I bring sporting equipment or musical instruments?
Special items require advance notice. Contact OFD at 04921-8992-0 or [email protected] to arrange transportation of oversized or fragile items like guitars, bicycles, or sports gear. Additional fees may apply.
What if my baggage is overweight?
Excess baggage may be refused or require payment of an additional fee determined by the airline. Confirm weight limits before arrival at check-in to avoid surprises. Ship heavy items separately if possible on regional routes.
