Can I buy extra baggage online with Africa World Airlines?
AWA's official booking engine (booking.flyafricaworld.com) includes a 'Manage my booking' service for retrieving and managing reservations. The site publishes excess luggage rates per kg but does not detail a separate online pre-purchase flow, so confirm the exact fee and payment channel with the call centre (0800 200 200) or a ticket office before travelling.
