Traveling with luggage by plane without having the headache
When you start packing for vacation, the list can become endless. Clothes, shoes, accessories, hygiene articles, etc. The fact is that you can’t fit everything in one suitcase, especially if you are going to travel by plane, because there are very marked regulations by companies, which seem to be increasingly complex and difficult to comply with.
Of course, although you inform yourself about the weight and measurements of hand luggage, it is normal that sometimes certain doubts arise, for example if you can take an extra bag, laptop bag or backpack with you.
Weight and size limits: You must know them before going to the airport
Find out about the weight and measurements allowed for carry-on baggage and checked baggage allowed on board Air Madagascar flights in which baggage allowances may vary depending on the class type of ticket you are purchasing.
You should know that the Malagasy airline allows you to carry luggage or other personal items in addition to your own hand luggage without having to pay an additional fee. For example, an umbrella, a coat, a walking stick, crutches, a garment bag, a handbag, a laptop computer or a bag of products purchased from Duty Free at the departure airport.
