The airline Avianca updated the maximum size that travelers' personal items can carry for all rates and destinations.

Entering the high travel season and in the midst of the launch of new routes as expected among Bogota and Paris, the company Avianca has announced changes to the maximum sizes that a traveler's item can be transported with their belongings..

Avianca adjusts the size of the personal item

Under the modality very well applied by the segment of low cost, the conditions of the rates Avianca have adjusted to this way of marketing and flying, between them, The most basic and economical rate includes only one personal item, which may be a backpack or similar..

The airline has updated the Dimensions of personal item allowed with maximum sizes of 45cm x 35cm x 20cm (alto, length and width), and thus also modified the meters available at airports to check if this requirement is metI require, in order to avoid additional charges, It is important to know well the measurements of the backpack or bag that we carry.

Specific, this change that is already in effect, leave the luggage box as follows:

  • personal item
    • It could be a wallet, backpack, diaper bag, a bag to carry a laptop or a package.
    • Maximum measurements: 45 x 35 x 20 cm (alto, length and width).
    • Should fit under the front seat.
    • One personal item available on all rates.
  • hand luggage
    • You can take it with you in the airplane cabin and place it in the overhead compartment.
    • Maximum measurements: 55 x 35 x 25 cm (alto, length and width), including wheels and handles.
    • Maximum weight: 10 kg.
    • If your hand luggage does not meet the conditions, must be registered as checked baggage.
    • Included in all rates except basic and XS rates.
  • Baggage
    • Maximum measurements: should not exceed 158 cm (62″) linear (largo + ancho + alto).
    • Maximum weight: 23 kg in Economy Class and 32 kg en business class.
    • Classic rates, flex, business, M, L and XXL include this luggage.
    • What's more, from 1 February 2024, You can replace this piece of luggage included with sports luggage if it meets the weight and dimensions mentioned..

Additional recommendation, all rates, Even the basic or XS can additionally add hand or hold luggage, but I recommend purchasing that additional item at the time of purchase or at most, at the time of check-in, since when doing it at the airport its cost will be even higher.

What do you think of this modification to the dimensions of the personal item?? I read them in the comments or on the social networks of whoever writes them.
