Prices
Extra checked bags
Additional pieces are priced under the "Piece Concept" in 5 route zones, billed in TND for flights departing Tunisia and in EUR (or USD/CHF/GBP/CAD/LYD for specific countries) for flights departing abroad. Some rates marked ** vary by travel period. A prepaid additional piece (one per passenger per flight, bought at least 24 h before departure) is sold at reduced rates versus day-of-flight prices, with the airline's prepaid route groups sometimes including destinations with lower airport rates.

Excess charges for pieces, weight and dimensions are summed.
