For safety reasons, from 12 December 2023 onwards, passengers will not be allowed to board the train with electric scooters, unicycles or similar vehicles. This does not apply to vehicles for people with reduced mobility, or to electric bicycles.

Special luggage

This is the type of luggage with special dimensions or other limitations that cannot be considered hand luggage and, therefore, has particular travel conditions.

Please note that you can only carry one special piece of luggage per person on board, accompanied by another piece of hand luggage, with maximum dimensions 55x35x25.

If travelling on the AVE International high-speed train between Spain and France, the same terms and conditions apply to special luggage, except that luggage tagging is mandatory. 
 

Please bear in mind that the luggage policy is stricter on Avlo trains. Read the information.

 

What is special luggage?

  • Golf clubs
  • Ski equipment

Unfolded bicycles and kick scooters (non-electric) can be carried on specific trains. Read all information about this.
