How does the airline calculate extra baggage charges?

Extra pieces are charged a fixed fee per piece per segment and excess weight is charged per kilogram per segment, with the fee table published in USD, ZAR, ZWG, MZN, BWP, ZMW, GBP and EUR. The published piece rate is the airport purchase rate; the live pre-book price is shown in Manage My Booking.

What are the overweight or oversized baggage rules?

Weight above the fare allowance is charged per kilogram per segment (USD 10/kg and currency equivalents). Any single item over 32 kg or exceeding 319 cm total dimensions is not transported. Overweight and oversized amounts are fee rules; only extra pieces and weight top-ups within limits can be added via Manage My Booking or at the airport.
