Aurigny launches 'class-leading' baggage allowance

Guernsey's airline, Aurigny, has increased its cabin baggage allowance to what it described as "class-leading" dimensions.

The cabin baggage allowance has increased from 55 × 36 × 20cm to 55 × 40 × 23cm, which Aurigny said was about 22% more space than its nearest competitor.

Passengers can also bring one small personal item as standard, such as a laptop bag or handbag, taking the total combined weight of carry-on baggage up to 10kg.

Aurigny said the changes were part of its "commitment to enhancing the customer experience and responding to customer feedback".

The changes only cover allowances on flights from Guernsey to the UK and Europe and not flights between the Channel Islands or Alderney.

Head of ground operations and deputy chief operating officer at Aurigny, Dave Cox, said: "We're proud to offer a class-leading cabin baggage allowance at a time when many other airlines are becoming increasingly restrictive and under the spotlight for this issue.

"We understand that people's personal items and belongings matter.

"Whether it's a laptop, medication, or just the things that make you feel at home, you shouldn't have to fight for space to bring them.

"At Aurigny, we're proud to be making it easier for customers to travel with confidence and comfort."
