Cayman Airways Limited has announced a revision of its baggage fee, which is slated to take effect on February 1, 2023.
As part of the revised baggage fee, the airline will be standardising its various baggage fee charges for the first two checked bags on all international flights to a fixed rate of US$25 each, as of February 1, 2023.
The change was initially set to take place on January 1, 2023 but has since been pushed to February 1, 2023.
The airline says its standard weight allowance will remain as one of the most generous in the industry at 55 lbs. per bag. Cayman Airways has explained that this adjustment in standardising baggage fee charges will bring a slight reduction by as much as US$10 to baggage fees in some markets and a slight increase of between US$0 and US$5 in others.
The existing baggage allowances and fees for domestic flights between Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac and Little Cayman will remain unchanged. Business Class passengers will continue to receive three free checked bags on all routes.
Sir Turtle Rewards Platinum Level Members will also continue to receive two free checked bags, while Gold Level Members will receive the first checked bag free. Similarly, Sir Turtle Club members continue to receive a complimentary first bag on every flight.
The airline’s already-low rates for any additional checked bags are unchanged.
Cayman Airways President and CEO Fabian Whorms declares, “our newly standardised checked-bag fee for the first and second bag remains substantially lower than industry standard fees, as every effort has been made to keep our baggage rates as reasonable as possible for our valued passengers”.
