What is the Sunwing Airlines Baggage Policy?
Sunwing Airlines is a favorite among vacationers for the discounts it offers on baggage. Sunwing Airlines baggage policy has been crafted for including the maximum baggage at the minimum price. Passengers who book their tickets two months in advance up to the 1st day of each month, may be able to get a free checked bag. This HolidayGlobes blog will not leave anything about baggage policy of this airline to imagination.
How much baggage is allowed on Sunwing Airlines?
Sunwing Airlines wants the checked bags to weigh less than 23 kg and measure up to 158 cm. Up to 3 checked bags of 23 kg each are allowed on a flight. The airline will not mind if you pay for up to 2 bags online. And this includes both the onward and return journeys. Golf clubs, scuba equipment, snorkelling equipment, bicycles, kiteboards, fishing rods and skis/snowboards will be considered special items. One of these items weighing within 23 kg can be checked. Because the flights may be packed with no space, a 3rd bag can only be added when check-in opens or at the airport. Here are some things you must remember about the baggage policy of Sunwing.
-
Special baggage - Sporting equipment and musical instruments will be carried only if you have paid the applicable charges.
-
Oversized or overweight baggage – You can bring baggage weighing up to 32 kg and measuring up to 292 cm. But, they can be added only when the check in opens or at airport.
Be aware that Sunwing has revised the charges for sporting equipment. You can call the airline or HolidayGlobes on +1-866-722-8066 or +1-888-595-2181 to know the Sunwing Airlines baggage fees for sporting equipment and the items that can be checked.
How much is a carry-on bag with Sunwing Airlines?
Even though personal items are usually light, Sunwing Airlines makes sure you can travel with a heavy or bulky personal item. Camera bags or purses which are bigger can be brought on board as a carry-on. Otherwise, camera bags or purses are included as personal items in every passenger’s ticket. To be considered a personal item, they should not be larger than 16 x 10 x 6 inches. Since personal items larger than this cannot fit underneath your seat, they will be considered as a carry-on. Under Sunwing Airlines carry on policy, you will have to pay a charge because carry-on is not included in the ticket. The carry-on baggage fee at the airport will be $30 each way. You may be able to save at least $5 if you purchase the carry-on in advance. Be prepared to pay charges for the first checked bag if the carry-on is larger than 23x41x51cm. If you have already checked the first bag, it will have to go as the 2nd checked bag. You must keep in mind that Sunwing will charge you at least $55 more for the 2nd checked bag. The points below will help you decide whether you can bring an item as a carry-on.
-
Musical instrument - Ideally it should fit underneath the seat but it can be brought on board if it measures up to 23 cm x 41 cm x 51 cm and weighs less than 5 kg.
-
Small suitcase, duffel bag or backpack - They should not weigh more than 5 kg to be considered a carry-on.
Of late, Sunwing Airlines has made it a norm for passengers who purchased an Elite Plus upgrade to check bags weighing up to 23 kg. You can call the airline or HolidayGlobes on 1-866-722-8066 or +1-888-595-2181 to understand your baggage allowance.
