Q: How many extra bags can I buy, and what are the bag limits?

Standard checked bags: up to 23 kg and 203 cm total dimensions (L + W + H). Overweight bags accepted up to 32 kg; bags over 203 cm travel as oversize. Cabin: one personal item up to 5 kg (35 × 20 × 20 cm) plus one cabin bag 55 × 40 × 20 cm (10 kg in Economy, 15 kg in Business).

Q: What are the overweight or oversized baggage rules?

Bags over 23 kg up to 32 kg travel as overweight and bags over 203 cm total dimensions travel as oversize, each with its own time-windowed fee table. These fees are shown on the Additional Services page and are added to the booking the same way as extra bags.

Q: Do partner-operated or codeshare flights have different baggage rules?

If your ticket shows a Cyprus Airways flight number but the flight is operated by another airline, the operating airline's baggage rules apply — including allowance, fees and claims handling. Submit baggage reports directly to the operating carrier.

Q: Can I pay for extra baggage with cards, loyalty points, or miles?

Online payments accept all major credit and debit cards. At the airport, both cash and card payments are accepted.
