Additionally, Economy Flex includes free seat selection, a generous baggage allowance with two checked bags, and priority boarding, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable travel experience.
All Economy Class tickets will continue to include one piece of hand luggage up to eight kilograms, with the option to extend the weight limit to 12 kilograms.
Business Class tickets provide travellers with a full-service experience, featuring priority check-in, front-row seating with extra space, and an extensive baggage allowance for both cabin and checked baggage. Passengers will enjoy three-course gourmet meal and beverages, along with faster disembarkation upon arrival. The Business Experience fare offers a more affordable option with a different ticket policy, while the Business fare includes all the traditional benefits of Business Class travel, including full flexibility, ensuring a premium journey.
Customers who purchased tickets before September 25, 2024, will retain the previous ticket fares along with their original packages and rules.
