United Arab Emirates · Last checked 18 October 2026
How much baggage does an Air Arabia ticket include?
Quick answer: Air Arabia lists the same cabin allowance for every fare: a 7 kg bag (55 × 40 × 20 cm) plus a 3 kg personal item. Checked baggage is chargeable on Basic, while Value and Ultimate include a weight that depends on the route, for example 20 and 30 kg on domestic Saudi flights.
Cabin baggage and personal item
| Item | Weight | Maximum size |
|---|---|---|
| Cabin bag | Up to 7 kg | 55 × 40 × 20 cm |
| Personal item (laptop bag, handbag) | Up to 3 kg | 25 × 33 × 20 cm |
- Duty-free purchases are allowed as long as the combined total stays within 10 kg.
- A passenger with an infant under 2 may bring one extra small bag of up to 3 kg.
- A bag over the limit at the boarding gate may cost AED 100 per piece.
Checked baggage by fare and route group
| Route group | Basic | Value | Ultimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| From, to or via the UAE | Chargeable (20/30 kg on CAI flights) | 20/30 kg | 30/40 kg |
| From, to or via Egypt | Chargeable (20/30 kg on CAI flights only) | 30/40 kg | 40 kg |
| International, from or to Morocco | Chargeable | 15/20 kg | 30 kg |
| Domestic Morocco | Chargeable | 15 kg | 30 kg |
| Domestic Saudi Arabia | Chargeable | 20 kg | 30 kg |
- The fare-types page gives weights only, not the number of bags, and does not explain the slash (for example 20/30 kg) or the term CAI. It also does not list international flights from Saudi Arabia. The fare screen at booking shows what your fare includes.
Buying extra checked baggage
- Extra options are 20 kg, 30 kg or 40 kg. The 20 kg option is limited to 1 piece, and 30 kg and 40 kg can be split into at most 2 pieces.
- Each bag must not exceed 32 kg and 158 cm in length + width + height.
- Book up to 12 hours before departure (4 hours for flights to or from Morocco). Airport prices are typically higher, and availability and fees vary by route.
