Fastjet’s ValueFlyer and FlexiFlyer products cater for every day traveller needs. However, sometimes you need to pack a little more. Here’s how it all works:
ValueFlyer and SALE fares:
One (1) piece of free Checked Baggage is included in the price of your ticket.
FlexiFlyer fares:
Two (2) pieces of free Checked Baggage are included in the price of your ticket.
If you will be travelling with more than your permitted baggage allowance, we suggest adding an extra bag to your booking at a reduced rate before departure. Customers may purchase a maximum of one (1) piece of Checked Baggage.
Book your Checked Baggage in advance and save on fees. Visit the Fees and Charges section for these costs.
Passengers may travel with Smart Bags provided that the lithium battery is disconnected and removed at the check-in counter. The battery must then be carried with you into the aircraft cabin. For safety reasons, if you are unable to remove the battery, fastjet will not accept it for carriage. This is in line with IATA rules and safety standards.
Sports equipment and musical instruments are carried in the hold of the aircraft. These items may be interchanged with your allocated baggage allowance or added as extra Checked Baggage. Items cannot exceed 23 kg and a combined maximum dimension of 81cm + 119cm + 119cm - 319cm.
Sports equipment includes, but is not limited to, bicycles, golf bags, surfboards, wind and kite surfing equipment, fishing rods etc. Bicycles must be packed in a bicycle box. Bicycles without the appropriate packaging will not be accepted.
Musical instruments must be packaged in a hard carry case. Instruments without an appropriate hard case will not be accepted.
Should the item exceed the Checked Baggage allowance of 23 kg and a combined maximum dimension of 81cm + 119cm + 119cm - 319cm, please contact our Call Centre to confirm whether we will accept it for carriage.
See the Fees and Charges table for the cost.
How to add travel extras and manage your booking
If you want to add extra Checked Baggage after your booking has been made, do so on our website through the “Manage My Booking” function, through the fastjet Call Centre or our authorised agents. You can add one (1) additional piece of Checked Baggage up to three (3) hours before the scheduled departure of your flight at the applicable online rate.
