Singapore Airlines and its regional wing, SilkAir, will introduce changes to their excess baggage charges, replacing the current published-fare based rates.
From April 1, 2008, excess baggage charges will be levied by way of a zonal system, based on the originating region and the disembarking region. The new system applies to all travel itineraries that do not involve the North America region, including interline travel, with Singapore Airlines or SilkAir as the first flight segment.
Currently, customers are charged 1.5% of the highest one-way published economy fare for each excess kilogram. The exact amounts are typically determined only at the check-in counters. With this new policy, customers will be able to work out, even before they arrive at the airport, the extra cost they would incur if they wish to travel with more baggage then their checked allowance.
Exceptions to this new policy are itineraries between Dubai and Moscow, and Dubai and Istanbul. Excess baggage charges for these itineraries will be levied at S$30 per kilogram.
For itineraries involving the North America region, the allowed weight for each bag will be reduced from 32 kilograms to 23 kilograms. Customers will still continue to enjoy a two-piece free allowance. Excess baggage will be continued to be levied on a per-piece basis, variable based on point of departure.
