How can I check in more baggage than my fare allows?

At Iberia, we only want you to pay for what you need. If you have purchased a fare that does not include baggage or you need to bring more suitcases, you can choose and combine the different possibilities on offer: 15 kg for the essentials; 23 kg, the standard weight (this option is the only option available in Peru and Ecuador) and 32 kg, the maximum allowed.

You can buy it before you fly:

  • When purchasing your ticket
    Select your destination, fare and flights.
    Fill in the passenger details and continue to the next page, 'Personalise your trip by adding extras'.
    Select the 'Add extra baggage' option.
    A side drop-down menu will open showing the different luggage weight options for each passenger and flight on the selected booking.
    You can add additional baggage for one, several or all passengers on the booking, and even select a different type of luggage for each passenger. And you can choose one of these options for the outward journey, and a different one for the return leg, provided your booking is operated by the Iberia Group.
    The price will appear at the bottom of the screen.
    When you have selected all the additional baggage, click 'Accept' and continue with your ticket purchase.

  • Via Manage your booking
    Once you have bought your ticket, go to Manage your booking entering your details, choosing 'Customise your flight' from the left-hand menu and the 'Add extra baggage' option will appear.
    Accept to continue the process in the same way as indicated above.

  • When checking in online
    Go to Online check-in with your details to hand and once you accept the restrictions on dangerous goods carried in baggage, you will be shown the 'Customise your flight' page with the 'Add extra baggage' option.
    Accept to continue the process in the same way as indicated in point 1.

  • At the airport
    Please arrive at the airport check-in counters with enough time.
    You can purchase additional baggage for codeshare flights provided that the first flight on your trip is operated by Iberia.
    If you have a connecting flight, you can purchase additional luggage for codeshare flights provided that the first flight is operated by Iberia.
    Remember that this option does not include the purchase of luggage weighing 15 kg and that the prices are higher.

Remember that once you have purchased additional luggage, you cannot request a cancellation or refund and you cannot use your Avios for payment.

You can check in a maximum of 9 items per passenger, including those included in your ticket's free allowance, except on routes subject to particular restrictions.
Check your free checked baggage allowance and the prices for additional items and excess weight on our Checked baggage allowance page.
