Baggage exceeding the free baggage allowance stated on the ticket is considered excess baggage. Depending on your needs, passengers can purchase prepaid baggage or process excess baggage at the airport. Understanding the limits regarding piece count, weight, dimensions, and check-in deadlines helps you proactively prepare your luggage before the flight.
When is baggage subject to fees?
Excess baggage fees apply when your luggage exceeds the free baggage allowance included with your ticket, for example:
Need to purchase additional baggage pieces beyond the standard allowance.
Baggage exceeds the permitted weight limit.
Baggage exceeds standard dimensions.
Exceeds both weight and dimension limits simultaneously.
The excess baggage portion is determined based on the amount of luggage that exceeds the passenger's free allowance.
Which baggage situation are you experiencing?
Wanting to proactively purchase additional baggage
If you know in advance that you will carry more than the standard allowance, passengers can purchase prepaid baggage according to the packages provided by the airline. This is a suitable option if you want to complete your luggage preparations before the day of the flight.
Overweight baggage
When a piece of luggage exceeds the standard weight limit, passengers may be subject to overweight fees according to the regulations applicable to the journey.
Oversized baggage
If the total of the three dimensions of a piece of luggage exceeds the standard limit, oversized fees may be applied.
Both overweight and oversized
A piece of luggage can simultaneously exceed both weight and dimension limits. This case is handled according to the airline's regulations on excess baggage.
Purchase in advance or process at the airport?
Purchasing before the flight is suitable if you are certain about your baggage needs. Passengers can select prepaid baggage packages according to the specific route and deadlines.
Purchasing or processing at the airport is suitable when unexpected baggage needs arise. However, passengers should allow sufficient time to complete procedures at the counter before the check-in desk closes.
The deadlines for purchasing prepaid baggage and applicable conditions vary by journey. Please check specific information before your flight.
