FAQ

Can I buy extra baggage online after booking?

No. The Takeflite booking flow (Search, Flights, Passengers, Payment) has no baggage-selection or ancillary step, and the website offers no online extra-baggage purchase. Arrange excess baggage directly with the airline or at the airport.

Where do I buy extra baggage?

Through Talofa Airways directly: ticket offices (Maria's Mall Taufusi Apia, Faleolo Airport, Tafuna Airport Pago Pago), by phone ((685) 30006 / (685) 30005 in Samoa, (684) 258-7665/699-3002 in American Samoa), by email ([email protected]), or at the check-in counter.

When is the deadline to buy extra baggage online?

There is no online purchase and no published purchase deadline. The airline asks passengers with excess luggage to check in early; check-in opens 1 hour and closes 20 minutes before departure, and late arrivals forfeit the ticket as a no-show.

How does the airline calculate extra baggage charges?

Excess passenger baggage is charged per extra piece at unpublished rates — the airline confirms extra piece rates exist but publishes no amounts, so the live price is only available from the airline or at check-in. Unaccompanied cargo uses a separate published per-piece/per-lb formula based on the greater of actual or dimensional weight.

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

The airline publishes no standard free checked or carry-on allowance and no per-bag weight cap. Flights use 9-seat Twin Commander 690B aircraft, every passenger must declare body weight in pounds at booking for weight and balance, and carriage is space-available — so confirm bulky or heavy items with the airline in advance. Infants under 2 (lap) have no free baggage allowance at all.

Are there any important exceptions or restrictions I should know?

Infants under 2 seated on an adult's lap pay no fare but get no hand-carry or checked allowance — all infant baggage is charged at extra piece rates. Cargo is space-available only, and cargo dropped at the Taufusi head office for Pago Pago incurs extra charges and may miss same-day delivery. Tickets are non-refundable but transferable with a route-specific change fee plus any fare difference.
