Additional Collection

Along with the new checked baggage allowance we have simplified our additional collection rates.

From 3 April 2009, charges apply per kilogram (2.2lb) (except for USA routes) for any total baggage weights exceeding the 23kg (50lb) allowance to a maximum of 32kg (70lb) per piece.

Note: If you have purchased your ticket before 1 December 2008 the previous checked baggage policy and additional collection rates apply.

A charge will apply for any baggage carried in excess of the free allowance. Additional collection rates vary depending on the destination. The carriage of baggage in excess of the free baggage allowance is subject to space being available.

Charges for additional collection will be applied as follows:
