Pax can bag a bonus with Mango

22 Jun 2016
Comments | 0

MANGO Airlines will give

travel vouchers to travellers

who have paid what the

airline calls “excessive

luggage allowance charges”

to fly with its competitors.

The promotion runs until

January 31.

The airline will exchange

R1 million in receipts, for up

to R200 per person, against

checked bag charges of

its competitors on certain

competing routes.

Travellers will be able to

collect vouchers at Mango

Guest Service Counters (in

airports where the airline

competes with other lowcost

airlines) to redeem

when booking their next

flight with Mango. “Travellers

must present their checked

bag receipt as well as

positive identification to

receive vouchers toward

their next Mango flight

to the same value,” says

Mango spokesperson, Hein

Kaiser. The vouchers will

be redeemable against any

Mango flight outside of

promotional offers for six

months.

“Mango’s checked bag

allowance is 20kg and

allows for up to two bags

combined to reach the

weight limit with hand

luggage pegged at 7kg,”

says Hein.

At the same time Mango

has upped its baggage

allowance between Cape

Town and Port Elizabeth to

30kg checked luggage for

the same period.

Kulula.com charges R245

(online and contact centre

bookings) or R350 (at the

airport) for a second bag

under the 20kg limit. On

its website, FlySafair, which

doesn’t include checked-in

luggage in its fares, informs

passengers of a R150

(online or call centre) or

R250 (at the airport) fee for

a first bag under 20kg, with

an additional R250 charge

for a second bag under that

limit.
