Baggage

We want to ensure a smooth and convenient travel experience for you. As such, we have specific guidelines for checked baggage allowance. Regardless of your fare type, you can check-in up to 2 pieces of baggage, provided that their combined weight does not exceed the allowance specified in your booking confirmation.

Each piece of baggage must weigh less than 30kg and must not exceed the maximum size dimensions. Pack personal belongings in your hand luggage, and keep a laptop easily accessible as you’ll need to place it in a separate security tray at the security scan. Always remove old baggage tags to avoid the baggage system rejecting your bag. Avoid using cardboard boxes as they need to be processed manually, which takes longer, and they’re not as durable. Don’t forget your travel insurance.

In the event that you have additional pieces of luggage beyond the allowed limit, an excess baggage fee of USD 50 per piece will be charged at the check-in counter. Please note that these regulations apply to both adult and child travelers.

For infants, a separate checked baggage allowance of 5kg is granted. We understand the needs of parents traveling with infants, and we aim to provide a convenient allowance that caters to their requirements.

Cabin Baggage/Carry-on Baggage

When traveling with us, you are entitled to have a cabin baggage, also known as carry-on baggage, in addition to your checked-in luggage. Each adult or child is allowed a cabin baggage allowance of 7kg, while infants are allowed a maximum of 5kg.

In addition to your main cabin baggage, you can also bring the following items as hand luggage, as long as the total weight of all cabin baggage does not exceed 7kg.

  • Laptop bag with laptop and charger 
  • Ladies handbag
  • Items which are purchased at the airport with less than 1kg weight


Passengers are requested to comply with recommended baggage specifications as given below.

All FitsAir passengers are allowed to carry 7 kg hand carry baggage which includes any handbag or laptop. 

Pre-Purchase Additional Baggage

When you fly with us, we offer you a generous baggage allowance. If your baggage exceeds this free allowance, additional baggage charges will apply.

You can pre-purchase additional baggage of up to 2 pieces each, with a maximum weight of 20kg. Any additional baggage must be purchased 24 hours before  flight departure. Pre-paid baggage can be purchased once per travel itinerary. Rates are subject to change without prior notice.  

Any extra baggage at the Airport check-in will be offered at the regular excess baggage rates, per KG basis (subject to availability).

Excess Baggage Procedure​

FitsAir offers a value based baggage allowance to our customers.

Weight in excess of the specified baggage allowance on ticket, including sports equipment will be subject to excess baggage charges at the airport counter. Such excess baggage weight will be accepted at the check-in stage strictly based on baggage space availability of the flight sector at the rates specified per operated sector.

FitsAir flight sectors where no special excess baggage rates are published, per KG will be charged at the Airport as the Excess Baggage fee.

Oversized Baggage & TVs

Every item you carry may not fit into a suitcase. However, oversized items will count towards your total checked baggage weight, so make sure you purchase enough checked baggage.

If you’re bringing large checked baggage items, an oversized item handling fee may apply.

If your oversized item is required for mobility or medical reasons, or you’re bringing a pram for your infant or child, it won’t count as part of your checked baggage weight, and you won’t be charged the oversize item fee. 

Charge for any oversized baggage USD 50
