Checked baggage allowances vary strictly by fare type: Light fares do not include checked baggage, while Standard and Flex fares typically include one checked bag weighing up to 25kg or 32kg respectively. Additional baggage can be purchased online at a discounted rate before departure.
Change policy
Flight changes and cancellations are dictated by the fare family selected during booking. Light fares are generally non-refundable and incur high fees for date changes. Flex fares provide maximum peace of mind, allowing passengers to change their travel dates without a penalty fee, though any fare difference will apply.
