FAQ

Can I buy extra baggage online after booking?

No. Air Burkina does not offer online prepayment of excess baggage. Excess weight or extra bags are paid at an Air Burkina agency or at the airport counter.

Where do I buy extra baggage?

Pay the excess at an Air Burkina agency before departure or at the Air Burkina check-in counter at the airport. The Ma Réservation page only retrieves your booking with a reservation number and last name; it does not sell extra baggage.

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

Checked allowance: Economy 30 kg (40 kg on Ouagadougou – Abidjan, Abidjan – Niamey and Dakar – Niamey routes), Business 40 kg (50 kg on those routes), babies 10 kg. Cabin: 1 bag of max 10 kg, 56 cm long and 25 cm wide. Pets in cabin are limited to 2 animals per flight. No maximum piece count is published; the allowance is weight-based only.

When is the deadline to buy extra baggage?

There is no published online purchase deadline because excess cannot be bought online. If paying at the airport, arrive at least 2 hours before departure; check-in closes 45 minutes before departure.

How does the airline calculate extra baggage charges?

Air Burkina uses a weight-concept allowance (kilograms per cabin, not per piece). Any weight above your free allowance is charged as excess at a rate that depends on your destination. No fixed excess rate table is published on the official site.

What are the overweight or oversized baggage rules?

The airline publishes no fixed overweight or oversized fee table. A cabin bag exceeding the 10 kg or size limits must be checked into the hold, where extra charges may apply. Confirm the applicable charge with the agency or at the counter.

Are there any important exceptions or restrictions I should know?

Babies receive a 10 kg allowance. Pet weight (except assistance dogs for blind and deaf passengers, which travel free) is excluded from the free allowance and charged as excess baggage. Pet carriage requires a prior reservation.
