Important information

The above charges in other currencies may fluctuate depending on the exchange rate at the time of calculation.

If your customer's journey has been booked on a single ticket and goes via another location i.e. Edinburgh-Heathrow-Amsterdam only one charge will apply - once outbound and once inbound. If a passenger chooses to book the same journey but on separate tickets i.e. Edinburgh-Heathrow and then Heathrow-Amsterdam, the journey will be charged £8/€11 per kg for the first sector and £10/€13 for the second sector.

Non-bmi operated routes

If your customer is travelling on non-bmi operated (codeshare) flights, or connecting to a codeshare flight, excess baggage charges will apply and are calculated on an individual route basis - please contact our trade helpline on 0870 606 1000 for advice.
