EXCESS BAGGAGE
Each airline has its own maximum weight for the baggage you are allowed to take with you.
Information regarding the weight restriction will be issued by the airline at the time you purchase your ticket. The standard weight will be checked in as usual.
If your baggage weighs more, you will have to pay extra only for the excess element of your luggage. How much extra you will be charged, depends on the airline you are flying with. You will have to pay immediately. This can be done in cash as well as with a cheque card or credit card.
If you require more information please contact your airline. |
