From 1 Feb. 2023, it will cost Cayman Airways passengers a fixed fee of US$25 per bag, for the first two items of checked luggage on all international flights.
According to a press release from the national flag carrier, the airline’s standard weight allowance “will remain as one of the most generous in the industry at 55lbs per bag”.
The airline stated the move will bring customers in some markets a fee reduction of up to US$10, but a slight increase of up to US$5 in others.
The existing baggage allowances and fees for domestic flights between Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac and Little Cayman will remain unchanged, according to CAL.
Passengers travelling in business class are entitled to fly with three free checked bags, on all routes.
Sir Turtle Rewards platinum level members can travel with two free checked bags and those with gold status will receive the first checked bag free.
The airline’s rates for additional checked bags remain unchanged.
“Our newly standardized checked-bag fee for the first and second bag remains substantially lower than industry standard fees, as every effort has been made to keep our baggage rates as reasonable as possible for our valued passengers,” explained Cayman Airways President and CEO, Fabian Whorms.
For additional information, or to pre-pay for baggage fees, passengers may call Cayman Airways reservations on 949-2311, in the Cayman Islands, or 1-800-422-9626 (toll free in the USA), or contact their travel professional.
Passengers can also pre-pay for baggage fees at Cayman Airways ticket offices up to 24 hours prior to their flight’s departure. Only debit or credit cards are accepted for payment of fees at all airport ticket counters except Kingston and La Ceiba.
