FAQ

Can I buy extra baggage online before my flight?

Yes. Additional checked bags can be prepaid through your booking on boa.bo at the prepaid rate, which is lower than the airport-day rate. Excess weight over 23 kg is not prepayable - it is paid at the airport on the day of departure.

Where do I buy extra baggage?

On www.boa.bo through your reservation (use the 'Estado De Vuelo' tab and enter your last name and booking locator) or at the airport check-in counter on the day of departure.

How many extra bags can I add and what are the size limits?

Each checked piece may not exceed 158 cm total dimensions. The number of bags included in the fare varies (Economy Basic includes no checked bag, Standard one bag up to 23 kg, Flex two bags). If you travel with more than three pieces, the 3rd-piece rate applies to every additional piece.

When should I buy extra baggage to get the cheaper rate?

Buy and prepay the extra piece before the day of the flight - prepaid rates are lower than the 'airport payment on the day of the flight' rate on every route. BoA does not publish a specific cut-off time for prepaid baggage.

How does BoA calculate extra baggage charges?

Rates are based on the route and on where the payment is made. Domestic flights are charged in Bolivian bolivianos (BOB) when paid in Bolivia and in US dollars (euros from Spain) when paid outside Bolivia; international flights are quoted in USD, or EUR for flights from Spain.

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

Yes. For example, an extra piece on domestic flights within Bolivia costs BOB 85.- prepaid versus BOB 100.- at the airport, and on Bolivia-South America routes USD 35.- prepaid versus USD 40.- at the airport.

What are the overweight and oversized baggage rules?

Excess weight applies between 23 kg and 32 kg per piece and is paid only at the airport on the day of departure, at route-based rates. The maximum size per checked piece is 158 cm; overweight or oversized items are handled at check-in and may incur additional charges.

Are there any exceptions or restrictions I should know about?

On itineraries originating in the United States under an interline agreement, the baggage policy of the airline operating the first segment applies (ATA rules). Interline itineraries not originating in Spain may incur additional charges, and flights departing from Spain restrict irregularly shaped or flexible bags.
