FAQ

Can I buy extra baggage online after booking?

No. Buddha Air does not sell excess baggage online in advance. Per the official FAQ, you pay for excess baggage at the airport during check-in.

Where do I buy extra baggage?

At the Buddha Air check-in counter at the airport, where your bags are weighed and the per-kilogram sector rate is charged.

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

Free checked allowance depends on fare class: Y 25 kg; A and B 20 kg; C, D and E 15 kg. Cabin baggage is limited to one 5 kg bag of 55 x 40 x 20 cm plus one personal bag, regardless of fare class. Children receive the same allowance as adults.

When is the deadline to buy extra baggage online?

Excess baggage is weighed and paid at the airport during check-in; there is no online pre-purchase window, so arrive within the airline's check-in reporting time.

How does the airline calculate extra baggage charges?

Excess is charged per kilogram with the rate set by sector, from Rs 95 per kg (Kathmandu-Simara) up to NPR 800 per kg (Kathmandu-Kolkata). The airline notes international excess rates exclude 13% VAT on departures from Kathmandu and 5% GST on departures from Kolkata.

What are the overweight or oversized baggage rules?

Buddha Air publishes no separate overweight or oversized per-piece fees because its system is purely weight-based. Cabin bags exceeding 5 kg or 55 x 40 x 20 cm must travel as checked baggage. The airline states it is not a Dangerous Goods carrier, so dangerous goods are not accepted in cabin or checked baggage.

Are there any important exceptions or restrictions I should know?

Royal Club Gold, Platinum and Diamond members receive extra baggage allowance of up to 5 kg and 10 kg respectively (official FAQ wording). Checked baggage may occasionally travel on a later flight due to aircraft weight restrictions. Loss or damage must be reported via a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) before leaving the airport premises.
