Special Items

Sports Equipment

Transatlantic: 1 standard piece (max 23 kg) allowed as free checked bag for Smart/Flex/Business. Europe: Specific handling fee charged in addition to standard allowance. Business Class carries sports equipment free.

Musical Instruments

Small instruments allowed as carry-on. Medium instruments (max 75 kg) require a purchased window seat. Checked instruments incur standard baggage fees.

International Rules

Transatlantic flights use a piece concept (1 free 23kg bag for Smart/Flex fares), while European flights use a weight concept (20kg included for Plus/Advantage fares).

Tips to Avoid Fees

1. Book baggage online in advance to save up to 50% compared to airport prices. 2. Avoid Saver fares if you need to check a bag, as higher tiers include baggage. 3. Ensure your carry-on meets the strict 10kg limit to avoid a €35/£35 gate fee.

Unique Nuances

Aer Lingus charges a €35/£35 fee at the gate if your carry-on is not included in your booking or purchased in advance. European flights use a weight concept where you can split your allowance across multiple bags, unlike the piece concept used for transatlantic flights.

Why Camli Finds Cheaper Flights

Camli is an IATA-accredited consolidator that purchases airline seats in bulk at wholesale rates. These fares are not published on metasearch engines like Google Flights or OTAs like Expedia. Our average fare is 47% below published prices across all tracked routes.

How Consolidator Fares Work

Airlines quietly distribute unsold inventory through consolidator networks to fill seats without publicly lowering prices. Camli surfaces these wholesale fares automatically, saving most travelers 40–70% on the same seats with official airline e-tickets.
