Air Corsica Baggage Policy

Carry-on Baggage 

Air Corsica permits passengers to carry one piece of baggage per person; the maximum weight allowance is 12kg on Airbus flights and 8kg on its ATR aircraft. The dimension of carry-on baggage should not exceed 55 x 35 x 25cm in dimensions. In addition, passengers can also carry personal items like a handbag or laptop bag, etc. This unique item must be small enough to fit under the craft passenger seat. Moreover, items like Jackets, umbrellas, nappy bags, car seats, etc. can be carried on the craft, although they are not considered as either baggage or accessory. 

If a passenger travels with an infant who does not have a separate seat booked, then the airline permits them one item of carry-on baggage. The airline allows maximum dimensions of 55 x 35 x 25cm. Maximum weight should not exceed 10kg on Airbus flights and 8 kilograms on ATR aircraft. 

Checked Baggage 

Air Corsica does not have the rule of “piece” baggage. Instead, they have replaced it with “weight” baggage. Therefore, passengers can check-in baggage with or without the additional charge.

The checked baggage allowance that Air Corsica permits passengers is a maximum of 23kg weight per person. But this is only true if passengers have a standard ticket. If they have a golden ticket, they must purchase additional baggage as this service is paid for. Therefore, the airline permits passengers with a “top” ticket to carry two pieces of checked baggage with a maximum of 23kg weight each.

Traveling with Pets 

Air Corsica permits small pets (cat or dog only) in the cabin. However, the pet must be older than eight weeks and in a particular transportation carrier. The dimensions should be a maximum of 115 cm, and the maximum weight should be 8kg (including the animal container). Furthermore, the animal will not be permitted to leave the container at any time on board. Lastly, it will be counted as an additional baggage item, and an appropriate fee is applicable. 

For an animal to travel with Air Corsica, necessary vaccines are required. In addition, if the animal travels within the European Union, it must have an electronic chip. Along with this, the animal must also have a European passport. For more information on the transportation of animals on Air Corsica flights, please visit Transporting Animals.

Steps to prepare your animal for the journey:

1. Passengers must get their pet accustomed to its cage or carrier five days before the flight.
2. Do not give your pet anything to eat or drink in the 4 hours preceding departure.
3. Do not administer sedatives, as the pet’s temperature may fall during the flight (it would take longer to get used to its new environment).
4. On the advice of a vet, administer medication to prevent travel sickness or any inopportune reaction during the flight.
5. The procedure for registering pets can take some time. Therefore, passengers are advised to arrive at the airport at least 1 hour and 30 minutes before departure.
