We highly recommend you to upgrade your baggage if you would like to carry more stuff when travelling with us.
 

Checked Baggage Upgrade 


You may purchase additional baggage allowance online or at the airport. Save more when you pre-book baggage online before departing to the airport.

Each guest can purchase up to 60kg per way, per person. Should you have 60kg or more of checked baggage, we recommend that each checked baggage should not exceed 32kg.

Excess Baggage Fees.
 

Any guest exceeding their personal checked baggage or cabin baggage allowance will be charged for excess baggage fee at the prevailing rate on the day of travel. Excess baggage charges are quoted and billed in the departure country’s currency.

The pooling or sharing of checked and cabin baggage allowances is only allowed for those who are travelling on the same itinerary (booking number) and checking-in checked baggage at the baggage drop together.
