What is an oversized baggage item?

If you exceed the total regulatory size for your hold baggage (total H+W+L greater than 158 cm), you will have to pay an additional price. 
This additional price concerns all types of hold baggage: those included in the hold baggage franchise or acquired during the CLUB CORSAIR loyalty program or purchased as additional baggage. 

Dimensions and weight of oversized hold baggage : your baggage must be between 159 cm and 300 cm (total H + W + L). At La Réunion Saint-Denis airport, the maximum height/width is 90 cm and the maximum length is 3 m. If you are traveling in Economy or Premium class, your baggage must weigh a maximum of 23kg; 32kg maximum if you are traveling in Business class.

Cost of hold baggage which exceeds the regulatory format :

  • Between Paris and Fort-De-France or Pointe-à-Pitre or Reunion Island or Mayotte : 100€ per trip (150 CAD)
  • Between Paris and Africa or Mauritius or Canada : 300€ per trip (350 CAD)

Example : 
You have bought or need to buy additional baggage to get to Abidjan :
If you have purchased an additional baggage at 160€ in advance or if you have to buy it on the day of departure at the airport for 200€ and this additional baggage exceeds the authorized baggage hold dimensions, you will have to pay an additional price of 300€.

  • Your oversized baggage purchased in advance will cost 160€ + 300€ which needs to be paid at the airport, for a total cost of 460€ ;
  • Your oversized baggage which is paid for on the day of departure shall cost 200€, which needs to be paid at the airport + 300€ to be paid at the airport, for a total of 500€.

 

You are only traveling with your hold baggage included in the price of your ticket :
--> If your hold baggage included in your price is oversized, you will pay the additional 300€ directly at the airport on the departure day.  

Note : The additional baggage known as "oversized" or "alternate format" is paid at the airport, on the day of departure, or can be purchased during an online check-in, which is open 72 hours before departure.
