Question 1

Can I buy extra baggage online after booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pre-book a 20, 30 or 40 kg checked baggage allowance online during booking or afterwards via the Add Baggage form using your booking reference, last name and departure date.

Question 2

Where do I buy extra baggage?

Accepted Answer

Online via the Add Baggage form on airarabia.com, or by contacting the call center, visiting a sales office, or booking through travel partners.

Question 3

How does the airline calculate extra baggage charges?

Accepted Answer

Checked baggage uses weight options rather than fixed per-bag pricing: pre-book 20, 30 or 40 kg total. Fees vary by route and are shown during booking or in Manage Booking. Baggage not pre-booked is charged at the airport per kg according to the route table.

Question 4

Is it cheaper to buy extra baggage online in advance vs at the airport?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pre-booking online, via the call center or at a sales office saves up to 90% of airport baggage charges; only limited weight options may be available at the airport at typically higher prices.

Question 5

How many extra bags can I buy, and what are the bag limits?

Accepted Answer

The 20 kg allowance is limited to 1 piece; the 30 kg and 40 kg allowances can be split into a maximum of 2 pieces per passenger. Each checked bag must not exceed 32 kg or 158 cm total dimensions (length + width + height). If split into two bags, each bag must not exceed 32 kg.

Question 6

What are the overweight or oversized baggage rules?

Accepted Answer

Each checked bag must not exceed 32 kg and 158 cm total dimensions. Weight above the pre-booked allowance is charged at the airport per kg by route. Carton boxes are not allowed as checked baggage on Bangladesh flights and flights departing from Türkiye, and irregular-shaped baggage that cannot be safely transported may be refused.

Question 7

Are there any important exceptions or restrictions I should know?

Accepted Answer

Carton boxes are not accepted as checked baggage on Bangladesh flights and on flights departing from Türkiye. TVs of 40 inches and above incur a charge of AED 150 plus a handling fee per item, with a maximum allowed TV size of 60 inches subject to acceptance and proper packaging.
