Air Baltic

Air Baltic allows specific dimensions and weight for baggage that you can bring on board or check in at the airport. The permitted dimensions of hand luggage are 55x40x23 cm. On top of that, the passenger has the option of taking 30x40x10 cm luggage. It is important that the weight of both pieces of baggage does not exceed 8 kilograms. This weight can be raised by 4 kg upon the passenger's request and at an extra charge.

The Latvian carrier also allows the possibility of carrying an additional bag. At Air Baltic, checked baggage may be 100x50x80 cm and cannot exceed the weight of 20 kilograms. These conditions may change for connecting flights operated by cooperating airlines.

It is worth carefully checking the dimensions and weight of your luggage before take-off. Earlier notification and additional payment to the ticket price can be much more beneficial than extra fees settled during luggage check performed by airport controllers.

The various booking classes of AirBaltic give passengers many choices of flight standard. The basic and cheapest flights are also known as the economy class. As part of the ticket, you can enjoy a comfortable flight in pleasant conditions in a spacious adjustable seat. You are also allowed free hand luggage.

The business class gives such opportunities at no extra charge, and on top of that it guarantees a three-course meal, unlimited free drinks and beverages on board, as well as access to the business hall at the airport.

If the flight is connected and is operated by two carriers, online check-in is possible only one day before take-off. Air Baltic provides an additional fee for passengers checking in only at the airport.

For self-check-in, all you need is to provide your ID details and print your boarding pass. You should carry this document and ID card with you before departure. The passenger should also arrive at the airport in advance to take advantage of the accelerated personal check-in. Online check-in cannot be used by minors who are flying alone or on separate reservations.

A good quality fleet, which is composed of relatively new aircrafts, is the hallmark of AirBaltic.

A significant part of the fleet consists of the European Airbus A220-300, which can take up to 160 passengers. The aircraft is considered the lightest and most economical in its class, and Air Baltic owns over twenty such machines.

On top of that, the carrier also owns American single-aisle Boeing 737-300 aircrafts, which can seat up to 190 passengers. The smaller Bombardier Q400 NextGen turbine powered vehicles come from Canada; they can hold up to 80 people on board. In total, AirBaltic has almost forty machines.
