Who knows the costs of taking luggage in hold with Iberia flight?

Yellowfriend · Nov 4, 2016

I booked a ticket from Amsterdam to Biarritz, fly company is Iberia. They couldn't tell me the price of luggage on hold (not cabine luggage) . Can't find it on internet. Does anyone booked with Iberia ans knows this?
Thanks!

That is strange - how have you booked your flight? When I book with Iberia or others they always offer me the different options with price tag. Also if you have already booked, they will have already charged you for those options. Buen Camino, SY

That is indeed strange Yellowfriend. Because the first option when booking the flight always states the Basic price and this includes handluggage only.

For instance...for the first of December. Brussels-Madrid.

have you tried looking on the webpage? It should list the costs for each checked bag...and how many bags are allowed free of charge depending on your cabin class

for some reason it seems to know I"m in the US, but here is what it shows when I look

heres the info for europe
http://www.iberia.com/us/luggage/allowance-in-hold/
and here
http://www.iberia.com/us/baggage/additional-baggage/

it looks to me like flying from Amsterdam to spain basic economy is no free checked, 30 euro for a checked bag (or ?15 if done online?); classic economy gets one free checked bag, 30 Euro for additional, business gets two free checked, etc...complicated but cheaper if you check the bag online it seems

Cheers Smallest_Sparrow, seems my initial link does not work.

But here copy and paste ( for the Basic price )

Basic fare

1 piece in the cabin
Baggage in the hold at a cost
Can be selected for a fee
Change permitted at a cost
No refunds

I booked via vliegtickets.nl and on the confirmation is only bagage 0 kg... when I made the booking there was only this possibility to book luggage afterwards. And that is not possible I noticed. I called them today and they didn't know either and looked it up on the site from Iberia and they told me it was 60 euro.. vliegtickets said that I could only book it on the airport with departure. . I called Iberia and didn't got any wiser because I got no connection.The side is not so clear but as I read now it looks like it is 15 euro...

well, don't trust what I wrote...I would go to the iberia website and try to book your luggage there...it will be more expensive if you check it at the airport. good luck!

When I tried out that website out just now it showed on an Iberia flight to Santiago "Bagage inbegrepen" (luggage included". What does it actually say on your ticket? SY

trecile · Nov 4, 2016

You'll need to get your Iberia booking reference number from the agent you booked with. You should then be able to access your booking on the Iberia site and add luggage, check in online, and sign up to have flight notifications sent directly to you.

It only says bagage in cabine, and via manage my booking it is not possible to book extra luggage....

You might want to try @trecile 's advice in the post above yours then ;-) Buen Camino, SY

It is not possible to book extra luggage online on the Iberia site . I see my booking but cannot add extra luggage in hold..

SYates · Nov 4, 2016

Then I suggest to see it as a sign from the Camino and take hand luggage only ;-) SY

It may be the Camino giving you a sign, or it may be too far in advance to book luggage. you're leaving in May next year, right? maybe contact Iberia to see if there is a limit on how far in advance you can book your hold luggage.

SYates · Nov 4, 2016

I don't think that is the issue here, in general and on European flights, if you can book the flight, you can book the luggage. BC SY

Smallest_Sparrow · Nov 4, 2016

I did see this in the fine print...
"If the airline is British Airways or American Airlines, additional baggage cannot be purchased on Iberia.com."

my flight to Spain on Iberia was an Iberian flag jet, but on return it was Iberia on a BA flag jet...I don't know if the ticket is on one of these if you need to contact that particular airline or what...

But a backpack is a larger size than handluggage

SYates · Nov 4, 2016

Nops, not necessarily! Plenty of pilgrims fly with carry-on only ;-) Buen Camino, SY

I try to call them next week again because I tried now on all oir devices, laptop, tablets, so I leave it now. It all comes good like everything on the Camino

Max size is 56x45x25 for hand luggage. Backpack is 68x34x26

SYates · Nov 4, 2016

Which means the only real problem is the height ;-) What is the height of the frame? The rest can be not filled/squeezed down. Can you post brand and model? SY

That should fit as carry on ;-) Your DIY project for tomorrow is finding a large cardboard box, adjusting it to the same size as those 'carry on check cages', packing your backpack until it fits into the simulation ;-) SY

Equipaje facturable.
http://www.iberia.com/us/equipajes/franquicia-bodega/#

Equipaje adicional
http://www.iberia.com/us/compra-exceso-equipaje/

The equipaje adicional says you don't get a free bag for tourist basica (my guess is that is what you have) So you can pay 15 Euro online or 30 Euro at the airport.

And if that doesn't work just put all your clothes on and take them off when through the gates

Used to smuggle jeans and other clothes from Italy/Austria to Yugoslavia this way, hahaha.

SYates · Nov 5, 2016

Better only take them off (not all of course!) when on the plane, I have seen bags being checked again at the boarding gate ;-) Buen Camino, SY

nwth · Mar 29, 2021

I don't know how, but I had to pay 150€ for a luggage that didn't even weight 20Kg .. ?
All they could say is : if you wish to wait for the next flight it's up to you.
Terrible airline
