Hand baggage allowance guide

Please check your fare rules as this allowance may differ depending on travel class.

Hand baggage includes those items which passengers may take into the aircraft and store under the seat in front or in the overhead storage compartments.

Common examples include:

  • A bag, not exceeding 55x35x25cm, such as a handbag or a briefcase or a laptop computer
  • One overcoat or raincoat
  • An umbrella or walking stick;
  • One camera, one video camera or one portable CD player
  • A reasonable quantity of newspapers, magazines or books for the journey
  • Items bought at the airport “Duty Free” shop in limited quantity and dimension
  • Food for infants necessary during the journey
  • One carry-cot or folding pram
  • One folding wheelchair, a set of crutches or similar devices on which a disabled passenger may be dependant.

Your cabin bag will be checked at the gate. If you arrive at the gate with more than one item or it exceeds the above dimensions/weight, your bag will need to be checked into the hold.  We reserve the right to collect an excess baggage fee or to cancel your reservation and to deny your boarding.

On ALL International flights departing Nigeria there is a 100% ban on all liquids and gels in hand baggage.

Guests travelling out of Lagos to New York JFK must anticipate enhanced security measures and as such should arrive at the airport for check in and security processing 4 hours before departure time. Passengers are advised that ONE PIECE ONLY of hand baggage may be taken into the aircraft cabin.

Checked in baggage includes all those items which are weighted and carried in the aircraft and are not accessible to passengers during flight. It must consist of suitcases or containers that are sufficiently rigid and resistant to the stress caused by normal handling so as to ensure safe transport without special requirements.

There is no checked in baggage allowance for infants, only hand baggage will be accepted. Free baggage allowance detailed information is published in Arik Air Checked Baggage Policy document.

To comply with Health & Safety requirements, Arik Air Limited has instituted a maximum weight for single items of checked baggage. Arik Air will not accept baggage that exceeds 30kg (66lbs) in weight, per any single piece of baggage. This policy relates only to single items of baggage and does not affect your overall baggage allowance reflected on your ticket, which remains unchanged.

You are permitted to transport with Arik Air ski equipment, golf bags, surf and windsurf equipment, bicycle etc, as registered baggage against space availability and payment of special excess baggage supplement.
