Air Mauritius has reversed its decision to charge passengers for sports equipment, allowing passengers to once again include it in their free baggage allowance.
Effective July 1, sports/special equipment is included in the free baggage allowance. For example, if a passenger is entitled to two pieces, one can be their personal bag and the other can be the sports equipment. If a Kestrelflyer member is entitled to an additional piece, the passenger can use it to carry the sports/special equipment.
In June, the airline introduced charges for sports equipment on short- and medium-haul flights, including Johannesburg and Cape Town flights.
