Can I take a football to the cabin? Do I need to empty it?

You can bring along your football if it fits into your carry-on baggage allowance. There is no need to empty it. Your baggage allowance depends on your ticket type. If you have a Light, Classic or Flex ticket, you are allowed one piece of carry-on baggage plus a small bag in all travel classes. If your ticket type is Superlight, you may bring only a small bag (40x30x15cm) or purchase a carry-on bag.
