Hold luggage

For all destinations: the piece concept is applied

This is the policy in force for most European airlines.
This principle indicates the number of pieces of baggage (pieces) authorized free of charge in the hold as well as their dimensions and weight. This number varies according to the class of travel.
Regardless of your destination, your checked baggage must not exceed 158 cm (height + length + width).
Beyond that, your baggage will be considered out of format by our check-in agents.

The baggage in hold "out or other format"

If you exceed the total size of your checked baggage (total H + W + L greater than 158 cm), you will have to pay a surcharge as indicated in the table below.
This surcharge applies to all types of hold baggage: baggage included in the hold franchise or acquired during the LE CLUB CORSAIR loyalty programme or purchased as additional baggage. It applies only to flights operated by Corsair. 

Examples

Additional luggage to travel to Abidjan:
If you have purchased the option additional baggage at € 160 in advance or if you have to buy it on the day of departure at the airport at € 200 and this additional baggage exceeds the authorized hold dimensions, you will have to pay a € 300 surcharge. 

• Your pre-purchased out-of-format baggage will amount to € 160 + € 300 to be paid at the airport, for a total of € 460;
• Your out-of-format baggage paid on the day of departure will amount to € 200 to be paid at the airport + € 300 to be paid at the airport, for a total of € 500.

You have one baggage item included in the price of your ticket
If your checked baggage included in the fare exceeds the allowed dimensions, you will have to pay the additional fare. 
If you have to go to Mauritius island for example, the extra charge to be paid on the day of departure at the airport is € 300 Eur. If you have to go to La Reunion island, the extra charge to be paid on the day of departure at the airport is € 100.
