How much does excess baggage cost?
If you exceed your baggage allowance you may have to pay excess charges.
For First Choice Airways shorthaul flights you will be charged £5.50 (€8.00 or 5.50CYP) per kilo, and on longhaul flights (including Florida and Gambia) the charge will be £8.00 (US$15.00) per kilo.
The excess baggage charges will have to be paid at check-in. Most major credit and debit cards, cheques, cash and local currency will be accepted but this may vary depending on the airport. We recommend that you stay within your allowances to avoid an expensive start or finish to your holiday!
