When planning your trip, it's essential to understand the luggage allowances for both checked baggage and carry-on baggage. As a general guideline, travelers are typically allowed 20 kg of checked baggage and 5 kg of hand luggage. However, it's crucial to check your specific itinerary for precise luggage limits.

It is important to note that domestic flights often have stricter luggage restrictions compared to international flights. Therefore, passengers should pay close attention to the baggage policies associated with any domestic routes they may be traveling. This ensures compliance with the airline's regulations and helps avoid any unexpected fees at the airport.

Highly advisable is that travelers should familiarize themselves with their airline's specific guidelines prior to packing to ensure a smooth and stress-free travel experience.

Packing List for Hand Luggage

When traveling, having a well-organized hand luggage can make your journey much more comfortable. Here’s a recommended packing list to ensure you have everything you need:

• Credit cards & cash
• Life-saving medicine
• Camera & binoculars
• Sunglasses
• Mobile phone, charger and other electronics
• Clothes for a few days (in case your suitcase is delayed)
• Stomach pills
• Wet wipes
• Hand sanitizer

By ensuring that you pack these essential items, your travel experience can be more enjoyable and stress-free.

Although we would like to help, unfortunately we are unable to reserve seats on the plane. If you have specific requests for where you would like to sit on the plane, or if there are several of you traveling together and you want to be sure to sit together on the flight, we recommend that you go to the airline's website and pre-book seats on the plane yourself.

On the airline’s website, there is a feature called “manage my booking,” and this is where you can book your seat. Being proactive about your seat selection will ensure a smoother travel experience and allow you to sit with your companions if needed.
