Terms and conditions
In order to remain committed to offering low fares, we apply additional fees and charges to the extras associated with booking a 'Standard' low cost flight. We will only charge you for the extras you use, and our booking process allows you to select what you want. If you don't select the extra you don't pay for it!
The tables below show our fees and the additional charges which would apply to our extras should you wish to use them.
Our top tip - it will cost you less to add an extra service as part of your online booking rather than phoning our call centre or by turning up at the airport on your day of departure.

To help cover the administration and financial costs incurred when processing bookings made using credit and debit cards, a fee applies to each person per sector. The costs associated with credit card payments are notably higher, and therefore an additional credit card supplement is applied to those bookings. These fees do not apply to infants (1-23 months) that do not occupy a seat.
A minimum booking fee of £4.00 for debit card bookings and £6.50 for credit card bookings applies.
No fee applies to customers paying with Visa Electron.
FlyPlus and FlyExtra passengers will not be charged for credit or debit card fees or processing fees.

FlyPlus customers allowance is 22kg per person, per flight. This is included in the fare at time of booking. bmibaby charges for all baggage that is checked into the hold of the aircraft that isn't booked through the FlyPlus product. Bookings made since the 5th January 2011 who have purchased baggage receive a standard checked baggage weight allowance of 22kg per person across a maximum of 5 bags. Extra weight can be purchased online or through the call centre. The table above outlines the charges. For customers who booked prior to 5th January and purchased baggage the standard baggage allowance is 18kg per person. Passengers should refer to their booking confirmation if unsure of the weight they have purchased.
Passengers travelling together on the same booking reservation, who
have individually purchased baggage, can pool their baggage weight
allowance. This baggage allowance only applies to passengers who have paid
for checked baggage. Once the purchased baggage weight limit is
reached, standard overweight charges will apply.
Infants under the age of 2 years (on the date of departure of each flight) are entitled to a 5kg baggage allowance. This will be added to the adult responsible for the infant. The relevant infant fees apply. For children over 2 years, the price of flights and the baggage weight allowance is the same as for adults.
Passengers are allowed to take one piece of hand baggage on board as long as it doesn't exceed the dimensions of 55x40x20cm and has a maximum weight of 10kg. You will be asked at the airport to place your hand baggage into one of the gauges at the airport so its important that these dimensions are adhered too and relate to the size of the bag once packed, including the wheels/handles. If your hand baggage does not comfortably fit into the baggage gauge at the airport you will be asked to check the bag into the hold and there will be an additional fee to pay to do so.
