South Africa Domestic Flight Baggage Guide

Baggage is tied to the fare you buy

Do not assume an airline has one baggage rule for every ticket. Allowances can vary by fare family, route, cabin and purchase channel. The correct source is the baggage information attached to the exact fare you are considering.

Compare like with like

If one fare includes the bag you need and another does not, add the extra bag cost before comparing. This is the only way to avoid a false saving.

Sports and special equipment need separate checking

Golf bags, bicycles, surfboards, musical instruments and other special items may have separate conditions. Confirm them before booking if the equipment is essential to the trip.

Avoid airport surprises

Measure and weigh baggage before leaving home when the allowance is tight. Excess or oversized baggage at the airport can erase the saving from a low headline fare.
