    Taking extra baggage

    Get your journey off to a relaxed start and save money at the same time! Arrange to take your extra baggage with you when checking in online on our website and receive a 30% discount on standard excess baggage fees. You buy extra baggage in units of 5 kg (11 lbs). The standard and discount rates are shown in the table below.

    If you will be departing from Australia, Canada, Cyprus, The Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Germany (Berlin, Munich or Frankfurt), Hungary, Ireland, Libya, Luxembourg or Peru, you can arrange your extra baggage at the airport. This means that the discount will not apply.
