La Compagnie is the rare airline where the baggage question is simple, because there is only one cabin: all-business-class on its Airbus A321neos flying Paris (ORY) and Nice (NCE) to New York (EWR), plus seasonal Milan. There is no economy fare to trap you and no drip-priced bag add-on. Every ticket — Promo, Smart or Flex — carries the identical, and genuinely generous, allowance.
What you get is two checked bags of up to 32 kg each, a cabin allowance of 18 kg across a bag plus an accessory, sports equipment carried free, and room to check up to six bags total if you pay for the extras. For a transatlantic ticket this is at the top end of what any carrier offers. The only number worth memorising is the excess-bag fee, and even that is flat and predictable.

What you actually get on a cheap fare
The whole point of La Compagnie is that baggage is not a revenue lever. Where a legacy carrier’s cheapest transatlantic business fare might strip you to one bag or bury the second behind a fare-family upgrade, La Compagnie’s entry-level Promo ticket carries the same two 32 kg bags as its fully flexible Flex ticket. The fare tiers differ on cancellation, changes and points — not on what you can bring.
Read the cabin rule carefully, though: the 18 kg is a combined ceiling across your cabin bag and your accessory, not per item. It is roomy, but if you are the type who travels with a heavy laptop bag plus a full rollaboard, weigh the pair before you go. And because the second checked bag is already free, there is almost never a reason to overstuff one bag into overweight-cargo territory.
Oversize, sports & special items
Sports equipment is a genuine strength: one item per category travels free. Skis up to 32 kg, surf/wind/kiteboards up to 2.5 m and 20 kg, golf bags up to 15 kg, bikes and hockey bags (up to 5 sticks) are all accepted. Note the flip side: electric bikes, scooters and sports items are not allowed in the cabin, only in the hold. Beyond the two included bags you can check up to six in total, each extra at the flat €200 / $200 rate depending on your departure side of the Atlantic.
Frequently asked questions
How many checked bags does La Compagnie include?
Every fare includes two checked bags of up to 32 kg (70 lb) each. There is no cheaper tier that removes them — Promo, Smart and Flex all carry the same two bags.
Is baggage different between Promo, Smart and Flex fares?
No. The three fares differ on flexibility, cancellation and loyalty points, but the baggage allowance is identical: two 32 kg checked bags and the 18 kg cabin allowance in every case.
What is the cabin baggage allowance?
One cabin bag at 55 x 35 x 25 cm plus one accessory (handbag, briefcase, laptop or camera bag). The combined weight of your cabin items must not exceed 18 kg (39 lb).
How much is an extra checked bag on La Compagnie?
Beyond the two included bags, each additional bag costs €200 if you depart from Europe or $200 from the US, up to a maximum of six checked bags per passenger.
Can I bring sports equipment for free?
Yes. La Compagnie carries one item per category free — skis (up to 32 kg), surf/kiteboards (2.5 m, 20 kg), golf bags (15 kg), bikes and hockey bags. It counts within your allowance rather than as a paid extra.
What is the maximum weight per checked bag?
32 kg (70 lb) per bag, with a size limit of 158 cm total dimensions. Bags over 300 cm total are refused, and there is no over-32 kg option — you must repack.
