FAQ

Can I buy extra baggage online after booking?

Yes. Use Book Extras in Manage My Booking to prepay for additional checked baggage, sporting equipment, or pet-in-cabin service. Overweight baggage and extras not offered for online prepayment must be paid at the airport during check-in.

Where do I buy extra baggage?

Online in Manage My Booking (family name plus 6-character booking reference, then Book Extras), by phone through the call center, or at the airport during check-in.

How does the airline calculate extra baggage charges?

Fees are charged per flight direction in USD (local currency accepted at the airline's exchange rate). The first checked bag up to 50 lb is free; extra pieces, overweight (51-70 lb) and oversized bags each have fixed fees, and international extra-bag sales may attract applicable local taxes (e.g. 18% ITBIS on excess sales from the Dominican Republic).

Is it cheaper to buy extra baggage online in advance vs at the airport?

Yes. The international 2nd bag costs $50.00 online versus $65.00 via the call center or at the airport. Overweight fees and oversize fees are airport/call-center only and cannot be prepaid online.

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

One free checked bag up to 50 lb and 62 linear inches; up to 5 checked bags total are published (1 free + 2nd + 3rd-5th). No single bag over 70 lb is accepted. Carry-on is limited to 1 piece, 12 x 9 x 16 inches, max 10 lb. Extra bags beyond the first fly subject to space availability and may not travel on the same flight.

What are the overweight or oversized baggage rules?

Bags weighing 51-70 lb pay an overweight fee ($20.00 domestic, $50.00 international, airport/call-center only). Bags over 62 linear inches (158 cm) pay an additional $50.00 and bags over 80 linear inches (203 cm) pay $100.00, airport only. No bag over 70 lb is accepted. Excess bags are delivered airport-to-airport only and must be collected by the passenger.

Are there any important exceptions or restrictions I should know?

Extra and excess baggage is accepted subject to space, flight capacity and aircraft limitations, and interCaribbean may impose strict piece limits or refuse excess baggage entirely during peak travel periods. Excess baggage is delivered only to the ticketed destination airport with no onward delivery. Flights from the Dominican Republic attract 18% ITBIS tax on excess baggage sales.
