You may check as many pieces of baggage as you wish, as long as it doesn't exceed the total weight limit stated.

What a great way to be able to see my family back in South Africa. This is made possible since we can buy our tickets and pay it off over 4 months. With the price of flight tickets so high Alternative Airlines has been a literal lifesaver!
