Increase your carry-on allowance to 14kg

It doesn’t take much to exceed the 7kg carry-on baggage allowance. A laptop, a couple of books or holiday shopping can tip you over.
Even if you think you’ll only be a little bit over, it’s best to avoid higher prices or excess baggage fees at the airport by:
• pre-purchasing +7kg Extra Carry-On Baggage^
• booking a fare or bundle with 14kg of carry-on baggage included

Increasing your carry-on allowance gives you 14kg across 2 items (with a max of 10kg in any one item).

^limited availability; available on selected routes

Why purchase +7kg online?

+7kg Extra Carry-On Baggage is available on selected routes and has limited availability per flight. To avoid disappointment and get the cheapest price, purchase +7kg when you book. You can also add it later in Manage Booking before you arrive at the airport.
Remember, we monitor carry-on baggage to ensure it adheres to safety requirements and to streamline the boarding process for passengers. If you exceed your carry-on allowance, fees will apply.

Purchasing at the airport

If you don’t have scales at home, you can check your bags' weight at the airport check-in area. If you’re over your carry-on allowance, see a Jetstar team member for your options. You may still be able to purchase +7kg, however airport prices are higher than online. Excess baggage fees at the boarding gate are much pricier than online or at the airport service desk as they are most disruptive to our operations.
If +7kg has sold out, or your items are too heavy or too big, you’ll need to pay for your bags to be checked in.
