From February 4, Special and Saver ticket holders will have an available baggage allowance of 15kg and 25kg respectively. Originally, these tickets allowed for 20kg and 30kg of baggage. Flex and Flex Plus allowances will remain the same.

Tickets issued before February 4 will still follow the old baggage allowance scheme stipulated below:
