Air Seychelles Rolls Out New Baggage Policy
Air Seychelles, the national airline of the Republic of Seychelles will introduce a new baggage policy on its regional network, effective Sunday, 1 July 2018.
Redesigned to better meet the needs of individual travellers, the new baggage structure will now be based on the total weight concept instead of the number of bags being checked-in.
The new baggage policy will be implemented across the airlines regional network including Mauritius, Mumbai, Abu Dhabi, Johannesburg and Seychelles.
With the new policy, guests travelling in Business Class will now be entitled to 40kg of checked baggage while Economy Class guests will be entitled to 30kg.
Guests travelling with Air Seychelles to Abu Dhabi connecting onto Etihad Airways flight to their final destination will enjoy 40kg both in Economy and Business Classes during the entire journey.
In addition to the checked in baggage, Business Class guests are entitled to 12kg of hand luggage, while Economy Class guests will be allowed to bring on board a total of 7kg.
As the new baggage policy will take effect for tickets issued from Sunday, 1 July, guests who have purchased their ticket before that date, will still be entitled to the old baggage policy.
