Oman Air updates excess baggage policy| Times of Oman

Muscat: In its ongoing commitment to providing guests with optimal flexibility, Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman, has introduced a revised Excess Baggage Policy. By replacing its existing "extra bag" fee with a new weight-based fee, the airline now effectively offers 'More Bags for Less' to passengers who require more baggage allowance. Previously, economy class passengers (excluding Super Saver) were allowed 2 bags and a total of 30 kilograms and passengers exceeding the 30 kilograms were required to pay a fixed excess bag fee. While the revised policy maintains the 30-kilogram free baggage allowance, it differs in the fact that passengers are no longer limited to 2 bags and excess fees are calculated based on 5-kilogram weight increments. Free baggage allowances have also been revised for Business and First and aim to provide all Oman Air guests with more convenience at a time when travel behaviours are constantly changing to adapt to COVID-19 health and safety measures. Oman Air reminds passengers that the Standard Bag Specifications are total linear dimensions of up to 159 CM and a maximum weight of 32 KG. A Single Baggage exceeding 159 CM in dimensions but within 32 KG of weight
