Currently the baggage-free option is available on selected routes only which include flights between Abu Dhabi and destinations in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Azerbaijan. There is a complimentary 7 kilo carry-on luggage allowance. The baggage-free tariff is for ecomony class tickets only and is called Deal Fare.
The last year's trial launch of the new tariff was a great success showing that travellers appreciate the opportunity to choose extras they pay for. The Deal Fare proved to be a success with business travellers, travellers on a day trip or on a weekend escape. If a passenger changes their mind after the Deal Fare ticket has been bought, it is still possible to pay for the checked baggage, either at the counter while checking in or online in advance – in the latter case there is a 20% discount applied.
