Baggage fees

No reliable fixed price is listed here. Check your booking for the cost of adding a bag; an unlisted price does not mean it is free.

Official baggage policy
How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Measure the packed bag and verify the operating carrier's rule.

Air Austral liquids policy

Air Austral publishes max 100 ml bottles/tubes in one clear resealable 20×20 cm bag, with prescribed liquid medicine, baby food and sealed duty-free exceptions. Confirm departure/transit airport screening, including duty-free acceptance; this is not a guarantee that every airport or domestic route uses identical screening.
