Frequently asked about Air Premia baggage
What is Air Premia's carry-on allowance?
Air Premia allows 12kg carry-on (typically 55×40×20cm max) plus a small personal item like a handbag or laptop bag. Weigh + measure before you fly — gate agents check at boarding.

How much are extra bags on Air Premia?
Air Premia charges approximately $50-100 for extra checked baggage in 2026. Prices vary by route, time of purchase (booking vs airport), and fare class. Loyalty status or premium credit cards may waive fees.
Can I bring a laptop on Air Premia?
Yes — laptops travel as part of your carry-on or personal item on Air Premia. Take them out at security screening. Spare lithium-ion batteries must be in carry-on (never checked).
What if my bag is over the Air Premia weight limit?
Overweight fees at Air Premia are typically $50-200 per bag depending on how much over you are. If you're close to the limit, better to pay for an extra bag at booking than pay overweight at the airport.
Are musical instruments allowed on Air Premia?
Small instruments (violin, guitar, flute) usually count as your carry-on. Larger instruments (cello, double bass) either need a purchased seat or must be checked as fragile items. Contact Air Premia in advance for bulky instrument policies.
Can I take duty-free bags on top of my Air Premia carry-on?
Air Premia typically allows duty-free purchases in a single airport-branded bag in addition to your carry-on allowance, but transit stops (especially US-connecting) may confiscate liquids. Buy duty-free at your final connection, not the start.
