How to avoid extra fees
- Nok Lite gives you nothing checked, so weigh your bag at home to stay under the 7kg cabin limit.
- If you need checked baggage, compare a Nok X-tra/Nok MAX fare against Nok Lite plus a paid add-on — the bundle is often cheaper.
- Pre-book baggage online; the airport-counter rate for the first 20kg is higher.
- Only ONE cabin piece is allowed, so tuck your handbag/laptop bag inside the main carry-on.
- Keep total baggage under 60kg per passenger and each item under 30kg to avoid refusal.
