Oman Air is pleased to introduce a new policy on baggage, moving away from the traditional 'kilogram' weight based allowance and excess baggage charges to a more simple policy, based on the number of bags being checked-in which will be cost effective for the travelling guests. The costly excess baggage rates charged per kilogram are to be abolished from 9th January 2017. The policy includes free luggage allowance for one piece of baggage up to 30kg in economy class and two pieces of baggage up to 50kg for Business and First class.
Silver and Gold Sinbad members will have the incentive of extra allowance for one more piece of baggage up to 20kg for economy class, and two pieces of baggage up to 60kg in business and first class free of cost. Extra pieces of baggage can be purchased for as little as OMR16 per piece of luggage weighing up to 20kg.
Under the new policy, Oman Air guests will continue to receive a generous free baggage allowance for all destinations as follows: Economy class guests: 1 piece of baggage up to 30kg. Business and first class: 1 piece of baggage up to 30kg plus 1 additional piece of baggage up to 20kg.
Oman Air's Silver and Gold Sinbad members will get total free baggage allowance as follows: Economy class guests: 1 piece of baggage of up to 30kg plus 1 additional piece of baggage up to 20kg. Business and First class guests: 1 piece of baggage of up to 30kg and 1 additional piece of baggage up to 30kg. In addition to the free allowances, a new low cost, flat-rate fee will be introduced for guests who wish to carry more luggages on board.
The old, traditional excess baggage that charged up to OMR11.6 per kg will be eliminated and guests can now purchase extra baggage starting at only OMR16 for a 20kg bag. Guests can choose to purchase extra baggage at the airport when checking in or can avail a 20% discount by purchasing extra baggage in advance from their website www.omanair.com. Initially, guests will be able to purchase up to one extra piece of luggage on routes within the GCC, Middle East, Africa and Indian sub-continent.
However, guests on our long haul services to Europe and the Far East will be able to purchase up to 4 extra pieces of baggage, all at the same low-price flat rate. To complement the new policy, Oman Air will introduce low charges for specialist cargo which includes items such as pets and sporting equipment.-PR
