Aurigny Checked Baggage Fees 2011 - Checked Bag Weight & Size Limits

Passengers on Aurigny flights have 20 Kgs hold allowance included in the price of their ticket, except for flights between Alderney- Southampton and Guernsey-Dinard where the allowance is 15 kgs.

Infants
Travelling free of charge or at any designated infant fare do not have a baggage allowance, other than that accompanying passengers are permitted to carry, on their behalf: a carrycot or small wheeled collapsible buggy and a reasonable amount of food and drink for the flight.

Note: on occasion it has been noted that carrycots are checked-in, ostensibly for the use of the infant, but in fact are completely filled with other items (for example large stocks of food etc.) in this case the carrycot will be counted as normal checked baggage under the rules stated above.

Students
Channel Island-based students travelling to and from their place of study in UK may claim an additional 20kgs hold luggage concession, on production of a valid student card. The additional 20Kgs will be accepted subject to space available.
