Key policies

Baggage allowance

Checked bags (up to 50 lbs / 23 kg) incur a standard fee depending on the route and fare class.

Change policy

No change fees apply to domestic and short-haul international flights for Main Cabin, Premium Economy, and First Class fares. Basic Economy tickets are generally non-refundable and non-changeable unless a travel waiver is in place.
