How to avoid extra fees
- Your allowance depends heavily on the fare family you bought — confirm whether your ticket is Basic, Discount, Standard, or Up before assuming a 2-bag allowance.
- North America routes count pieces (2 x 23 kg on Standard/Basic), while most other routes use a single weight allowance — check which applies to your route.
- Keep each checked piece under 23 kg and 158 cm linear to avoid heavy/oversized fees.
- Pre-purchase extra baggage on evaair.com before heading to the airport for a lower rate.
- Add your Infinity MileageLands number at booking; status can raise your free allowance.
