Additional or Excess Baggage

If you need to add more baggage to your flight, you can do so. Passengers can bring up to 10 pieces of luggage weighing up to 23kg each. The best way to add extra baggage is to book online, as doing so at the airport can be considerably more expensive.

Overweight or oversized bag charges differ depending on the number of bags you bring and the ticket type you purchased.

Sports Equipment Fee

Firstly, an extra charge is possible if you take a sports item on top of your checked-in baggage allowance. Secondly, an overweight order is applicable if you’re taking the sports item as your checked-in baggage and it weighs more than 23 kg. Moreover, please remember that an economy-light ticket does not include checked baggage. Lastly, if the sports equipment weighs more than 32 kg, you will not be able to check it in.
