Light fares have been designed for customers who travel light and only require hand baggage. The Friendly fare includes 20 kilogrammes of checked luggage plus seven kilogrammes of hand baggage. For maximum passenger convenience and value, Flexi has all the advantages of the Friendly fare, along with a priority check-in and the possibility to change flights at no extra cost.
