Key policies
Baggage allowance
Baggage allowances depended on the operating brand and fare class. British Airways franchise flights generally included 1x 23kg checked bag for Economy and 2x 32kg for Business Class. kulula.com operated on a low-cost model where basic fares required purchasing checked baggage separately.
Change policy
Flight modification rules varied strictly by fare class. Premium and flexible tickets permitted date or time changes with minimal or no fees, while restrictive budget fares required a change fee plus any applicable fare difference. Cancellations on non-refundable tickets generally resulted in a loss of fare.
Check-in
Online and mobile app check-in typically opened 24 hours prior to scheduled departure. Airport check-in was available via self-service kiosks and dedicated bag drop counters, generally closing 45 minutes before domestic departures and 60 minutes for regional flights.
