Airlines operating flights to Spain, Portugal, France, and the Dominican Republic may have different baggage allowances, conditions, and restrictions depending on the airline, route, and fare purchased. Baggage policies are subject to change without prior notice, therefore travelers must always verify the information directly with the airline before departure.

Most international flights usually include at least one checked bag and one carry-on item, but some promotional or basic fares may only allow carry-on luggage. Low-cost airlines in Europe often charge additional fees for checked baggage, seat selection, or priority boarding.

Carry-on baggage must comply with airline size and weight limits, and security regulations may restrict liquids and certain items in hand luggage. Checked baggage exceeding the permitted weight or size may be subject to extra charges at the airport.

For multi-destination trips within Europe, baggage allowance may vary between international and regional flights. It is the traveler’s responsibility to confirm the baggage policy for each flight included in the itinerary.

We recommend labeling all luggage clearly and keeping important documents, medications, valuables, and personal items in carry-on baggage.

Sagua Services & Travel is not responsible for changes in airline policies, additional baggage fees, or restrictions applied directly by the airline.
