Accepted Answer

Free allowance is one 20 kg checked piece per adult and child (infants 20 kg, or 10 kg on Beirut/Damascus flights) plus one 6 kg cabin bag (55 x 40 x 20 cm). No single piece may exceed 32 kg.

Question 7

What are the overweight or oversized baggage rules?

Accepted Answer

Any baggage exceeding the 20 kg free allowance in weight or piece count counts as excess baggage. No single piece over 32 kg is accepted (except registered special baggage). Oversized or bulky items count as special baggage and need prior registration; carriage is only confirmed by Sundair and depends on hold capacity, safety and occupational-safety rules.

No. All fees for additional services are payable at registration, are non-refundable, and rebooking is not permitted.

Bicycles and golf trolleys with electric drive (lithium batteries) cannot travel as sports or special baggage. Small sports items such as tennis or hockey rackets travel within the free allowance; only weight above it is charged at the excess rate. Items over 32 kg and weapons must be registered at least 48 hours before departure via customer service.
