Air Arabia introduced a new online pre-book
ed baggage policy, enabling passengers to pay for only the baggage weight they need. The new policy, effective for all tickets purchased on or after July 1st, 2012, allows passengers when booking a flight with Air Arabia to pre-book a checked baggage weight allowance (20kg, 30kg or 40kg), with no limitation on the number of pieces.
Passengers who pre-book a 20kg checked baggage allowance will pay just AED10, while passengers booking 30 kg will pay AED20. Subject to availability, a 40kg checked baggage allowance can also be pre-booked for AED100. These rates apply to one way tickets and are inclusive of all applicable taxes. The airline also announced that it has raised its cabin baggage allowance from 7kg to 10kg.
Commenting on the initiatives, Adel Ali, Group chief executive officer, Air Arabia said: “The newly designed baggage policy offers more saving to passengers when flying with Air Arabia. This new policy allows them to pay only for what baggage they need.”
Pre-booked baggage can be availed through all sales channels. Any booking made prior to July 1st, 2012, will be unaffected.
