If you are travelling on non-bmi operated (codeshare) flights, or connecting to a codeshare flight, excess baggage charges will apply and are calculated on an individual route sector basis - please contact our reservations centre on 0844 8484 888 for advice.

If your journey has been booked on a single ticket but requires that you go via another location i.e. Edinburgh-Heathrow-Berlin you will only be charged once outbound and once inbound. If you choose to book the same journey but on separate tickets i.e. Edinburgh-Heathrow and then Heathrow-Berlin, you will be charged GBP 9/EUR 11 per kg for your first sector and GBP 11/EUR 13 for the second sector of the journey.

Sports Equipment
If you are travelling in Business or Flexible Economy you can take a piece of sporting equipment or other exceptional item of baggage as part of your baggage allowance as long as it is within your total allowance.

Business, Flexible Economy (UK, ROI and HAJ from LHR):
Free if within baggage allowance. If in excess of baggage allowance: GBP 30/EUR 34 fixed fee, per item, per sector.

Economy (bmi operated routes only):
A flat rate of GBP 30 per item, per sector will be applied. If the item is over 20kg but under 32kg then an additional GBP 30 per item, per direction will apply.

Sporting goods may be included as part of the free allowance in Economy for flights from London Heathrow to/from Casablanca and Marrakech.

Please note that if your journey has been booked on a single ticket but requires that you go via another location i.e. Edinburgh-Heathrow-Berlin you will only be charged once outbound and once inbound. If you choose to book the same journey but on separate tickets i.e. Edinburgh-Heathrow and then, Heathrow-Berlin you will be charged GBP 30/EUR 34 per item for each sector of the journey. In this case you would be charged twice on the outbound and twice on the inbound journey.
