MIAMI – Air Jamaica’s holiday baggage regulations are intended to make packing and check-in easier for passengers during this busy travel season. Additionally, the airline reminds travelers with excess baggage that Air Jamaica Cargo provides a convenient alternative to ensure that items arrive at their destination in time for the holidays.
“We understand that passengers travel with additional items during the holiday season and want to make travel more convenient with these guidelines,” said Sue Rosen, Air Jamaica’s Senior Director, Customer Service. “By following these guidelines, our passengers can relax the moment they board.”
Carry-On Baggage
Each passenger is allowed one piece of carry-on baggage with a maximum weight of 30lbs and a maximum size of 45ins, except Toronto which is 22lbs, which must fit underneath the seat in front of the passenger or in the overhead bin.
Checked Baggage
Lovebird Economy Class passengers are entitled to a maximum of two pieces of checked baggage, one free piece and a second piece at $25 each way. Lovebird Executive Class passengers are entitled to three free pieces of checked baggage. The maximum weight/size for each checked bag is 50lbs/62ins.
Overweight Baggage
Air Jamaica will continue to accept overweight baggage that is within the free allowance, weighing over 50lbs but not more than 70lbs, at a charge. The overweight charge is per piece and will be accepted subject to space availability.
