On Plus or Advantage fares, you have a 20kg bag allowance included in your ticket. You can increase this to a 25kg (5-10 EUR) or 40 kg allowance (25-35 EUR) if desired.

Baggage allowance is per passenger, per direction.

Please note that these prices are when buying your baggage at the time of booking your flight. Adding bags to your flight with Manage My Booking is slightly more expensive, and it is significantly more expensive when purchasing through the call centre or at the airport, where it is almost double the price.

Be sure to stay within your weight limit, as you will be charged a fee of 10 EUR per Kilo if exceeding your weight allowance. It is not possible to upgrade to higher tier once at the airport.
