Air China limits extra baggage to one piece on Havana flights

Air China set a maximum of one additional piece of baggage per passenger on flights connecting Madrid and Havana. The rule covers departures after November 14, 2026, and prevents travelers from adding more than one extra bag to the trip. The change concerns additional baggage and establishes how many such pieces each passenger may purchase for that route.

The new condition applies both to advance purchases and to purchases made during airport check-in. Counters will not allow a second paid extra bag either, so waiting until the day of departure does not change the established maximum. The limit therefore covers both stated ways of arranging that baggage: buying it before the trip and requesting it in person at check-in.

Air China's notice placed the start of the restriction at 11:59 p.m. on October 30. That time marks when the new rule on purchasing additional baggage begins; its application to flights is tied to departures after November 14, 2026. These are two different time references within the same change: one says when the restriction starts and the other identifies the trips it affects.

In the context of the route, some round-trip tickets exceeded 1,200 euros in July. That figure concerns certain fares and the cost of travel, not the price of the additional bag. The information distinguishes two aspects of the Madrid-Havana route: the cost of some round-trip tickets recorded in July and the airline's new maximum for extra baggage.

The announced scope is limited to Air China flights between Madrid and Havana. On that route, each passenger may purchase only one additional bag, whether before travel or at the airport. The maximum concerns that extra piece, not all baggage carried by the traveler. Those flying after the stated date will need to consider the restriction when arranging additional luggage.
