By Piece or by Weight?

 

Your checked-in baggage is counted by pieces rather than by weight alone.  This means you can carry a maximum amount of weight in the number of pieces that your ticket is entitled to. Baggage-pooling is not permitted between passengers traveling on the same routing to the same final destination.

Be aware that some airlines have different checked-in baggage rules. You should contact your travel agency or speak directly with the airline in question if part of your travel itinerary involves another airline.

If you’re in doubt, ask our airport staff who can advise you on the checked-in baggage regulations for a trip involving another airline. 
 

Need to carry more baggage?

 

If you need to check in extra baggage over and above your free allowance, you are kindly requested to visit www.airmalta .com through Manage my booking, Call centre  on +356 2166 2211 or by visiting Airmalta Sales Office located at Malta International Airport.

If you try and check in baggage that exceeds the permitted weight, this is considered excess baggage and you will have the option to pay for the extra weight at the service desk.  

Remember, a single piece of checked-in baggage should never weigh more than 32 kg, whether or not the allowed excess baggage limit has been exceeded. All pieces of baggage in excess of 32 kg must be repacked in separate bags. Kindly read our terms and conditions.
