In terms of fleet size, it’s one of the largest regional airlines in Africa, and Airlink flights are available to a network of over 40 destinations across 15 countries, including South Africa, Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

While last-minute Airlink sale fares may become available, you’ll normally find it pays to plan ahead, and we generally recommend you book Airlink flights between six and nine months before you travel wherever possible.

Airlink passengers can generally bring one carry-on bag with a maximum weight of 8kg and a total linear dimension of 115cm. The linear dimension of your bag is calculated by adding the height, length and width (including wheels and handles). 

In many cases, Economy tickets will also allow travellers to bring one checked bag weighing up to 20kg.  

Baggage allowances will vary depending on your flight itinerary, ticket class and loyalty program status, so check your specific Airlink tickets to see what’s included. Need to add extra baggage to your flight booking? Talk to your Travel Expert before heading to the airport!
