When is my baggage considered oversized or overweight?

Your baggage will be considered oversized or overweight when it exceeds the permitted dimensions and weight for checked baggage (50 lb in Economy Class, 70 lb in business class, and 158 linear cm). You can still bring it with an additional charge if its dimensions do not exceed 99 lb and 230 linear cm (height + length + width). Otherwise, we suggest transporting it with avianca cargo.

Keep in mind
Transporting non-conventional baggage, including baggage oversized or overweight, is subject to the signature of the limited liability certificate issued by avianca, which you will find on the back of the baggage tag. It clarifies that avianca is not responsible for the condition of your baggage when transported in the hold.

 

During the low season (2-feb-2024 to 22-mar-2024, 16-ago-2024 to 15-nov-2024, 08-abr-2024 to 14-jun-2024), for the routes Guayaquil - New York - Guayaquil, San Salvador - Ontario - San Salvador, San Salvador - Los Angeles - San Salvador, San Salvador - San Francisco - San Salvador, San Salvador - Washington - San Salvador, San Salvador - New York - San Salvador you may purchase up to a fifth additional baggage.
