Additional and overweight Checked Baggage±

Up to two additional pieces of Checked Baggage may be purchased. Baggage which is bigger or heavier (overweight), than your free Checked Baggage allowance, will be considered overweight Baggage; this may include sporting goods or pets (refer below). For operational reasons we ask that you provide details of any additional or overweight Baggage at the time of booking. The following charges will apply (either at the time of booking or at the airport if a declaration is not made at the time of booking) for any Baggage beyond your allowance:

An overweight charge will apply at the airport if any piece of Checked Baggage exceeds the weight of your entitled allowance. No single item of Baggage may exceed 32kg. Subject to operational restrictions and uplift availability, additional or overweight Baggage may not be carried on the same service as you. We will endeavour to place your additional or overweight Baggage on the next available flight but make no guarantee this will occur. Unless we state otherwise:

• dollars or ‘$’ is a reference to Australian dollars; and
• all dollar amounts include any applicable GST.
