Checked in luggage is not included in the ticket price, and if an item is added during the booking process online, the cost per item is R150 which gives you a check in luggage weight limit of 32 kg (70.5 lbs). If check in luggage is added through a telephonic booking or at the airport, the cost per item is R250 (also for a 32 kg (70.5 lbs) allowance).
