Please note that although SAA welcomes you to bring as much baggage as you require (up to 3 pieces), once you go over your carry-on and checked-in baggage allowances, additional baggage fees will be charged.
Before boarding, additional luggage must be paid for and assessed. If there is a layover, you can choose to pay the fare for the entire trip or to your point of transfer. Please inquire about fees from the operational airline for those segments of your trip when SAA is not your carrier.
