A baggage fee is charged for the carriage of checked baggage. Any passenger checking in baggage which exceeds the amount purchased at time of booking will be charged on a per kg basis at the airport check-in counters.
We will not accept carriage for any baggage exceeding 32kg and with combined dimensions of more than 81cm height, 119cm width and 119cm depth. This weight limit does not apply to mobility equipment.

If your unchecked baggage does not satisfy our regulations, it must be checked or may be refused for carriage.
8.6. Collection and Delivery of Baggage: You shall collect your baggage as soon as it is available for collection at your destination. If you do not collect it within a reasonable time and the baggage needs to be stored we may charge a storage fee.

Only the bearer of the baggage identification tag given to the passenger at the time the baggage was checked is entitled to delivery of baggage. If a person claiming the baggage is unable to produce a baggage identification tag, we will deliver the baggage to such person only on condition that he/she has established ownership.
