Passengers could also carry duty-free products which have been bought at the airport onto the plane - this would not count towards your carry-on allowance.

Baggage fees varied depending on the route. The best way to check was at the time of booking when it would be possible to add checked baggage to your booking. Please note that the airline recommended booking your required bags when you booked your flights online, as the fee at the airport would be higher.
Clase Económica
Blue Air was a low-cost carrier, meaning the only cabin class available was Economy. However, within the Economy cabin there were three class fares to choose from: Light, Classic, and Premium.
The onboard experience would be very similar, but by choosing an upgraded fare passengers could enjoy a number of added benefits, such as greater flexibility when it comes to changing the date of travel.

Blue Air retire a number of Boeing aircraft within its fleet
Blue Air has plans to retire a number of Boeing aircraft in its fleet by the year 2020 after it will take a delivery of B737 MAX 8s in the second quarter of 2019. Blue Air currently has two B737-300s and six B737-400s that it will retire, however, the airline plan to keep the six Boeing B737-500 aircraft that it currently uses.
General Manager of Blue Air, Gheorghe Racaru stated that last year by the end of this year, they would've retired a total of six planes in the last two years, which will mean they will have a smaller fleet than usual this winter. However, their fleet will grow back to normal size with the order of B737 MAX 8s. The Blue Air GM reiterated that the airline is not expanding its fleet, just replacing the Boeing aircraft that it will retire later this year.
