Air Jamaica Boosts Baggage Allowance

Air Jamaica has increased its baggage allowance in order to stand out from the competition. What’s more, agents can benefit from a 4 percent commission rate on all bookings.

New for 2007, passengers in Deluxe Economy Class can take three pieces of luggage per person at 32 kgs each –a total of 96 kgs, to match the existing allowance in the airline’s Executive Business Class.

That’s not to say that Economy Class passengers have to travel light – they also get a generous allowance of two bags per person at 32 kgs each, ensuring that no Air Jamaica passenger should have to worry about receiving an unwelcome bill upon check-in.

With one of the youngest fleets in the western hemisphere, Air Jamaica is the only scheduled carrier to fly direct to both Montego Bay and Kingston from London Heathrow on a daily basis. The airline’s “Red Carpet” treatment in Economy Class includes a choice of meals with complimentary wines, spirits and Red Stripe beer, and its unique in-flight aerobics.

Air Jamaica introduced the Deluxe Economy Class in June last year in order to meet customer demand for more space at lower prices. It is situated in a dedicated cabin between business and economy, and offers reclining sleeperette seats in a generous 60-inch seat pitch.

In addition, Business Class introduced flat beds for the first time last year situated in an 84-inch seat pitch. Both Business and Deluxe Economy Class passengers are provided with dedicated check-in areas and a tasty meal service with a china and glass try setting and complimentary champagne, wines, spirits and beer.
