Equipaje permitido

Checked and Carry-on Baggage

The total baggage allowance for each passenger (inclusive of carry-on and checked baggage) is 20kg.  This includes all types of baggage, such as cameras, filming equipment and any other personal item.

If passengers anticipate having excess baggage, they can purchase in advance an excess baggage allowance (get in touch with our customer service team for rates on excess baggage). Excess baggage will be available in increments of 10kg with a maximum of four (40kg) permitted per passenger in all classes and routes operated by Auric Air.

For passengers needing a baggage allowance higher than 40kg, a 'freight' seat can be purchased at a child fare. This will give passengers an extra 75kg baggage. The captain and crew of the aircraft may weigh the bags at the airstrips to ensure weight restrictions are met. 

Excess baggage will only be carried, at the sole discretion of the captain of the aircraft, if the payload of the aircraft and/or space permits and will be charged at the prevailing rate for carriage of freight. The captain also has the right to refuse any baggage.

Auric Air allows hard-case suitcases on their aircraft as long as they are within the permitted dimensions.
