No Direct Flights: Plan for Layovers

Baggage Drip Pricing: Know Before You Go
Many airlines on this route charge for checked baggage, and these fees can add up quickly. For example, each checked-in bag can weigh up to 23kg (50lb) before incurring additional fees. If you need more weight, you can pay an excess baggage charge at the airport to get up to 32kg (70lb). To avoid surprises, check the specific baggage policies of your chosen airline before booking.
Layover Tips: Make the Most of Your Stopover

If your baggage is checked through to your final destination, it will be automatically transferred to your connecting flight. However, always double-check with your airline to ensure a smooth transfer process.
