Where do I buy extra baggage?
Online during the booking flow, through 'My Reservation' on arajet.com after booking, during online check-in, at the airport during check-in, or via the call center (which adds a USD 20 administrative fee). Overweight and oversized baggage can only be handled at the airport.
When should I buy extra baggage to get the best price?
Buy during online booking for the lowest price. Prices increase at each stage: up to 14 days before departure, up to 2 days before, during online check-in, and at the airport (e.g., a 1st checked bag goes from USD 30 during booking to USD 70 at the airport).
How many bags can I take, and what are the limits?
Each passenger may purchase up to 3 checked bags per flight online or through customer service; a 4th bag or more is only available at the airport, subject to availability.

How are extra baggage charges calculated?
Per flight leg, starting from published 'from' prices that vary by route and flight date. The price depends on when you buy - during booking is cheapest and the airport is most expensive. Comfort and Extra fare bundles include the first checked bag (23 kg); Basic and Classic fares do not include one.
Is it cheaper to buy extra baggage online in advance vs at the airport?
Yes. A 1st checked bag starts at USD 30 during booking or USD 45 up to 14 days before, versus USD 70 at the airport; carry-on starts at USD 35 online versus USD 80 at the airport. Purchasing through the call center adds a USD 20 administrative fee.
What are the overweight and oversized baggage rules?
Weight upgrades are sold in 3 kg bundles up to 26, 29 or 32 kg (USD 30 / 60 / 90) and are only available at the airport check-in counter. Bags over 158 cm linear are charged an oversized fee. Bags over 32 kg or 366 cm linear are not accepted as checked baggage.
Can I get a refund for prepaid baggage if I cancel or change my booking?
Arajet states that its fares are non-refundable and does not publish a separate refund policy for prepaid baggage. Contact customer service to confirm what happens to paid extras when a booking is changed or cancelled.
Are there any important restrictions I should know?
Purchases made through the call center include a USD 20 administrative fee. Carry-on may not always be available for purchase because cabin space is limited. Baggage prices vary by route and flight date, and 4th+ checked bags are only sold at the airport.
