the first number is for check inn baggage , airlines operating with numbers because it can be more than one . The letter P is for personal and letter C for carry on .
Personal can be everything what is going under the sit and will fit there . Carry on is going about your head to locked shelf. Everyone think that 1PC mean one piece of something , but in real I did explained what’s going on .
for example if your ticket shows 0PC it’s mean you can take only personal and carry on , because number 0 is showing zero check inn baggage , and that’s apply for all airlines on the world !
Thank you
It means that you are allowed to check in one piece of luggage free of charge (as long as it isn’t over the maximum allowed weight and size).
Carry-on luggage is separate. For most airlines you are allowed two pieces of carry on. One that will fit in the overhead compartment and another that will fit under the seat in front of you.
Airlines tickets usually report the amount of allowed checked baggages. Hand luggages are usually taken for granted.
However, in this particular case, the Swissair website says:
When you travel with SWISS, we will transport a certain amount of your baggage free of charge for you. The quantity and weight of this free baggage is clearly defined, and vary according to your booking class.
So I guess (if you travel in economy class) you are allowed one 23 kg checked baggage plus a 8 kg hand luggage.
Additional info on checked baggage and hand baggage can be found on the same website.
