AraJet is an ultra-low-cost airline based out of the Dominican Republic. It flies to destinations throughout the Caribbean, South America, and in 2023 is expanding to fly to Canada as well.
AraJet offers 3 types of fares - Smart, Comfort, and Extra - with luggage rules differing between them.
As an ultra-low-cost airline, AraJet's cheapest fare, called Smart, does not include any free checked bags, nor a standard carry-on item - only a small personal item is allowed to be brought on board free of charge.
Be sure to also note that the middle fare, Comfort, includes a free checked bag of 20 kg / 44 lbs (less than the standard 23 kg / 50 lbs of most airlines), and doesn't include a standard carry-on bag either.
Only AraJet's Extra fare includes both a checked suitcase (20 kg / 44 lbs) and a regular carry-on suitcase (12 kg / 26 lbs) in addition to the smaller personal item.

AraJet offers 3 fare-types, Smart, Comfort, and Extra, of which only the highest level Extra fare includes a free carry-on suitcase up to 12 kg / 26 lbs.
Both the Smart (lowest-cost) and Comfort (mid-level) fares do not include a standard carry-on suitcase for free, they only allow you to bring a small personal item. This personal item may be a backpack, purse, computer bag, or other similar item, with maximum dimensions of 15 x 9 x 7 inches / 40 x 25 x 20 cm, and a maximum weight of 6 kg / 13 lbs. You must place this underneath the seat in front of you, and not into the overhead bins.
Standard Carry-On Item
Only AraJet's "Extra" fare includes a free standard-sized carry-on item. This may be either a small suitcase or a larger backpack, with dimensions limited to 56 x 46 x 25 cm / 22 x 18 x 10 inches, with a maximum weight of 12 kg / 26 lbs. You may place this item into the overhead bins.
If you are flying on a "Smart" or "Comfort" level fare, the standard-sized carry-on item is not included, but you can add it to your flight for a fee. The cost depends on when and how you pay for your carry-on bag, with the cheapest option being to pay online while making your original reservation, and the most expensive is to pay for your carry-on bag at the airport.

AraJet's cheapest "Smart" fare does not include any free checked bags. Both the mid-level "Comfort" fare and most expensive "Extra" fare each include 1 free checked bag of 20 kg / 44 lbs. Be careful when packing, as this weight limit of 20 kg / 44 lbs is a bit less than the standard 23 kg / 50 lbs allowed by most other airlines.
It is possible to add an extra checked bag to your reservation, either as your 1st checked bag on a Smart fare, or as additional bags, by paying AraJet's extra bag fee. It is cheapest to pay for your bags while making your original reservation online, as the prices go up afterward, with the most expensive option being to pay for your bags at the airport. You may bring up to a total of 3 bags per passenger.
