Size & Dimensions

Each piece of hand baggage must not exceed the maximum permitted dimensions to fit in the overhead locker.

Within your allowance, you may also carry one small personal item (maximum size: 25 x 33 x 20 cm) that can be placed under the seat in front of you. This can be one of the following:

  • A laptop bag

  • A ladies’ handbag

  • A gentlemen’s satchel

 

At the Check-in Desk

If your hand baggage is too large or too heavy, you will need to check it in at the BADR Airlines check-in counter.

  • Items placed in checked baggage are subject to your baggage allowance and excess baggage charges.

  • Before checking in hand baggage, please remove any valuable items such as money, jewellery, precious metals, passports, business documents, or securities. 

At the Boarding Gate

 All hand baggage, including duty-free purchases, will be checked for weight and size at the boarding gate.

  • If your hand baggage exceeds the allowed size, weight, or number of pieces, a fee of AED 200 (USD 55) per piece will apply.

  • Local fees and taxes may cause this amount to vary.

Electronic Devices on Board

 For safety reasons:

  • Damaged, defective, or recalled batteries/devices must be turned off, protected from accidental activation, and must not be recharged during the flight.

  • If a device becomes damaged, overheated, emits smoke, or falls between seats, please inform our cabin crew immediately. Do not attempt to retrieve it yourself, as adjusting the seat may cause further damage.
