# **Avianca Airlines Baggage Policy Guidance**

***Advice on Avianca Airlines' Baggage Policy***

Large South American airline Avianca provides flights throughout the region as well as connections between countries. Other airlines that now operate as subsidiaries of Avianca include TACA and Avianca El Salvador.

The establishment of new price classes by Avianca in recent years has caused some confusion over the baggage restrictions. Depending on your origin and destination, the L, XL, and XXL prices provide 1 or 2 gratis checked bags, but the XS, S, and M flights frequently do not. The XS cost only includes a little personal item, so if you want to bring a standard-sized carry-on bag, you must pay an extra fee.


### **Size and weight restrictions for cabin bags with Avianca in 2023**

One piece of carry-on luggage and one personal item, such as a jacket, laptop bag, pocketbook, etc., are permitted for Avianca passengers. Personal items must remain at your seat. Please be aware that if you purchased an XS fare, you are only permitted to bring one personal item; carry-on luggage must be purchased separately.
