What is the Oman Air Baggage Policy?
Pack your bags according to your travel requirements! By buying an Economy Saver ticket, you will be able to fly with just a handbag of 7kg. But Oman Air baggage policy will also come to your rescue if you have additional bags, heavier or special baggage. Here is how tickets let you add heavy check-in bags.
-
Economy - Comfort and Flex passengers will be able to bring 20 kg and 30 kg bags.
-
Business - Comfort and Flex passengers will be able to check baggage weighing up to 40 kg and 50 kg.
A lot of relaxation is there for standard special baggage and large special baggage. In this HolidayGlobes blog, we will discuss the crux of Oman Air baggage policy.
How much Baggage is Allowed on Oman Air?
Oman Air differentiates baggage allowance on the basis of ticket type. Economy class passengers typically have a lesser baggage allowance. This means both in the cabin and check-in. Economy cabin passengers can bring a single handbag of 7kg. The cabin baggage allowance for Business class passengers is up to two 7kg handbags. Oman Air doesn’t discriminate with the size of handbag.
All passengers can bring handbags measuring up to 115 cm which is the total of all dimensions. An additional baggage allowance is given to frequent flyers of Oman Air. They may be able to check up to 20kg extra depending on the Sindbad tier level. Economy Saver tickets booked with loyalty points are not eligible for free excess baggage. Here is what you should keep in mind about check-in bags.
-
A check-in bag should not weigh more than 32 kg. - You may have to pay Oman Air baggage fees for each extra kg or redistribute the weight between your bags.
-
The size of the check-in bag should not exceed 159 cm. - Items exceeding 159 cm will be considered special baggage.
Large special baggage measuring up to 290 cm (sum of length+breadth+height) may be given carriage in the hold. Give a call to Oman Air or HolidayGlobes on +968-24531111 or +1-888-595-2181 to discuss your baggage requirements.
