FAQ

Can I buy extra baggage online after booking?

Yes. Lion Air offers Bagasi Prabayar (prepaid baggage) through its website at www.lionair.co.id. You need your booking code (PNR) and flight details.

How much extra baggage can I buy and what are the limits?

Any baggage exceeding the combined ticket allowance and prepaid voucher weight is charged at the airport excess baggage rate per kg. Surfboard and bicycle handling fees are not included in prepaid baggage and incur separate charges at the airport.
