Checked in bagage
In order to be able to check in a suitcase at the airport, you must buy a baggage allowance from your tour operator. Choose what suits you and only pay for as many bags as you want to check in. Hand luggage is always included. Please note that Novair’s maximum permissible baggage weight must be observed. It is possible to buy luggage allowance at the airport, but at a higher cost.
Baggage that is checked in must be packed to withstand handling at the airport and transportation in the hold of the aircraft. Novair is not responsible for valuables packed inside checked in baggage. Baggage that is not a suitcase, bag or backpack is considered as special baggage with special rules.

If you whish to cancel any extra purchased luggage, please note that this must be done 4 days prior to departure, for full compensation . Cancelation made later than 4 days prior to departure, will have to be addressed to your insurance company.

The maximum weight allowed for checked-in baggage is 20 kg + a maximum of 5 kg in hand luggage.
Allowed maximum weight for checked baggage
Please note that according to international regulations, checked-in baggage must never weigh more than 32 kilos per package – regardless of whether you, as a passenger, choose to pay for the excess weight or share luggage with the travel party. Baggage that exceeds 32 kilos is handled as cargo, alternatively the weight can be distributed to several parcels
Extra baggage weight

Strollers must be packed in an approved plastic bag for transport, which can be purchased at the airport. Please note that children under the age of 2 are not allowed to bring their own hand luggage. A child car seat can be packed in the same packaging as a stroller. (see more about checking in a stroller further down the page.)
Children 2-11 years of age have the same baggage rules and permitted maximum weight as adult passengers. If you want to check in a baggage or stroller for children over 2 years of age, you must purchase allowance as special baggage. If you want to bring a stroller for a child over 2 years of age, the stroller is included in the permitted maximum weight. If you want to check in a child seat for children 2-11 years old, it will also be included in the permitted maximum weight.
Strollers are easily damaged and must therefore be packed. If necessary, remove wheels and other parts that can easily be damaged. Special stroller bags are available for purchase at the airport. Save the bag for the journey home, they are rarely available at the destinations’ airports. Keep in mind that the stroller is transported in the hold of the aircraft together with other baggage.

It can be used to charge electronic equipment such as iPhones, Ipads, laptops, etc. Alternatively, the purpose of the battery is to ensure that you can drive the bag electronically.
